Lowering on 18's and 20's

No problem, man. Anytime. Sometimes, it is more courteous to pitch in and be alittle more helpful, than to always give someone a "search button" advice, reguardless if the topic has been repeated numerous times.....know what im sayin'.

Totally agree. I won't name names, but there is one guy that is just downright hateful. I've ran across his threads from over the last year and he is just a consistent jerk. I've about worn that search button out, but sometimes you just gotta ask to get the answers you need...
Wednesday I'm getting the rims done. Will take before and after pics of course and this week I should be ordering the springs and shocks.
************************************************** ******
Now to everyone. On my way to work today I saw a little accord slammed (not very well either) and it got me thinking about the 350z and G springs and why the 350's give you more of a level drop than the G's. A lot of people are going to go "duh" right now I'm sure. The G's leave it up higher in the back to account for people sitting in the back seat. If I drop with Tokico HP's and use the Tanabe GF210's for the 350's, am I gonna have issues with rubbing if I throw a couple fatty's in the back????
Thanks!

You'll probably be fine. Going out to the bar with a ton of people about a month ago, they decided they wanted to ride in my car so I had 4 decent sized guys in there haha. We only scraped going over this really nasty raised cement thing getting into the parking lot, I don't think it would have been a problem with normal driving....

Great thread! Twalls... very nice ride. The only thing I wish is that I lived near "drone" so I could get stuff painted, lol.
As for your drop, again, its really nice. However, I wish there were some pics somewhere of the nf210s on a g with 19s just to see if the difference in gap is noticeable. As of now though, I think I may go with those NFs if/when I do mine. Im still not sure I even want to drop mine. But, when/if I do, I definitely want a similar ride to stock and no rice bounce.

^Thanks man... Much appreciated.. Yeah as far as difference in ride, you really don't notice any difference.. There's only a 5% difference in spring rates, so it really feels like stock but you get the benefit of a lowered stance. For someone on the fence, I'd definitely recommend these springs. I have an aftermarket front, rear bumper, and sideskirts and I don't rub on speed bumps or anything.. I'm sure I get a little raised w/ 20s but even w/ 19's you won't have any clearance problems. I'm sure.

I got a few quotes from different vendors on here and the pricing isnt bad at all. Oh, and excuse me if you already said this, but are you on stock shocks? Oh, and you're going to have a PM too cuz I have another question but it isnt related to suspension.
Thanks and, once again, VERY great looking ride!
