Yes, the car was lowered with Tein H-techs and Tokico D-specs, both from a 350z.

Before with my off road suspension

After, but it has settled a little bit. I still think the front could go lower. I also used spacers in the back otherwise it would have been tucking.

I can't remember who the owner is, but hopefully he'll see them and let you know.

Here are my 18x8 HP EVO lightning in hypersilver dark finish with an
offset of 38, wrapped with 245-45-18 tires and a 350z spring drop. I liked the upsized tire comfort, more tire choices and they fill the fender-well more than the 235's. Thanks to all members posting helpful threads on suspension, tires, offsets, etc.
Please excuse the need for a wash.

How do you like the General UHP's? I just bought a set 3500 miles ago. I really like them so far. Same size, 245/45/18.

I think General makes a real good tire. Priced right and still performs well.

The tires have been great so far with no experience in rain or snow. I bought them from www.tirerack.com due to the good reviews and price. I went from stock 215-55-17 to these with a stiffer suspension upgrade, so I am getting much more road feedback, they stick well to the road and I have a very hard time breaking traction in a 5AT. Things rattle in the car more now like unsecured CD's and the tops of windows creaking /ticking. The car now rides like a real sports sedan.

Good find, Thanks a lot , now I know I definatley need to lower my front more. I wish I knew what springs were on that sedan, that looks way better with less front gap.
