I don't like the look of it too much right now, I'm painting my brake calipers red this weekend though because they are pretty dirty and I'll see how it looks after. I think the red O might look cool with the red calipers.

Also, no on the red calipers. Little on the ricey side too. You don't drive a civic.

If you are going to paint it, paint it a less obtrusive color like, silver or black.

Unless you have a real big brake kit, you shouldn't paint your OEM calipers red.

Sorry, I don't mean to be hard on you. Just take it as constructive criticism.

No man it's not problem I appreciate any advice I can get. I was wondering if the red calipers were gonna look to flashy on the car and now I got my answer. I might just do black then to go with the black rims. Do you think that theese springs would be good for my car?

Yes those would look good. Personally, I would go with 350Z Eibach Spotlines to get a lower drop and stiffer spring rates. Your gonna need it to fill in the wheel gap.

Have you search for 350z Tein S-techs yet? They sell them on eBay. Just make sure they are real Tein springs and not knock-offs.

Z springs will lower a coupe more than a Z.

Be sure to check out some pictures before you commit. It may be too high or too low for you. Thanks Calvin.

I may be selling my 350z eibach pros. They drop .5" more than the g35 eibach pros. Perfect drop IMO. But I might be selling my car so going back to stock. Send me a pm if your interested.
