After riding dropped for a while, the stock sport suspension feels like a Cadillac. It seriously feels to me that the stock suspension handles better than it did with the S-Techs, less leaning or body roll in corners.

I drive an 05, my front wheel got onto a curb and as i was getting off my side skirt got its beautiful laser red paint scratched off. The 05 is low even with stock, watch out for those curbs

its all about how & where you drive..
if you cant autmatically drive slow and angle yourself on ramps, dips, and even the slightest bumps then dont lower it. i believe s-techs lower around 1"
phxblue lol the lighting doesnt help that pix.. makes ur wheel gap look O.O
if your gona lower go with coil overs so you have more control on your ride height. if you get TIENs you have the option of getting an EDFC.. btw are you selling ur s-tech?

The short of it is that All I wanted was a decent drop but the S-techs were too much for the road conditions here in Phx. I suffered damage and they came off.

PhxBlue,
Have you considered the Tein H-Techs for the 350Z or the G? The drop on the 350Z H Techs is at approx. 3/4" with G spring less. The ride on my 350Z H Techs is just a little firmer than oem with a ncie looking drop. There are issues with speed bumps, high driveways and parking curbs.

The Maxima complex is a bad one, the Max has the worst wheel gap next to a Mitsubishi Galant that I have ever seen. The G however is not all that bad.
