Impul Sides and K2 bumper Question

Can anyone let me know how much lower the impul sides sit compared to stock?

What about the K2 bumper compared to the 06 sport bumper - any idea how much lower that sits?


messing with my coilovers this weekend, and would like to know if i can drop my car a bit more or leave it as is...

I don't have a numerical value for you, but both are significantly lower than stock. The front of the Impul sides dips down, and that is where I scrape the most when I go over speed bumps.

Looks like you are about 2 inches off the ground is that about right?

Right now i am about 4-5 inches off the ground at the lowest points - was looking to just drop my car about an inch more all around...

I have Tenabe NF210s (1" drop in front and .6" drop in rear) and I'm about 4" off the ground in the front and 4/5" off the ground at my sideskirts by my rear wheel. Very nice conservative drop as this is my Daily Driver.. I have several speed bumps that I have to negotiate daily w/ no scraping. But as you can see below, the look and feel of the ride is nice IMO for a DD. Of course I could go lower, but that would contradict my needs...

I think you just need to be real w/ what you plan to use the car for. The Tenabe NF210s are very good springs and will not make the ride stiff, it'll still feel like you have a luxury car and give you the look you want.. I also have 20" rims by the way.. Don't know how 19's would affect the look. I can't get a finger between the wheel well and the tire in the rear, and can only get 1 in the front (barely). So the wheel well is filled up nicely (after the springs settled).

Here's a few pics from my my latest shoot... You can see more if you go to the albums section in my sig..

Wow that drop looks way more than 1" and .6". I have 350z eibach pros and they are supposed to drop 1.6", 1.4" and it doesnt look near that low. I do have 19"s but even with 20" i dont think it would look that low. Looks very good though

Nope.. That's the only thing I have as far as suspension (went to NTB to get realigned a week after install and didn't need camber kit either)..
