Are you planning on lowering your car? It looks good as is, just curious.

A question to those who have dropped their G's. How much should I drop? I'm thinking about only an inch 'cause I still have to drive the car everyday. Also would there be any major probs with the Tein Stechs?? Thanks again for all your comments.

PhxBlue had his 05 6MT dropped on S techs and he has 19" Volks, he hit something which damaged his undercarriage badly. So he reinstalled the stock springs. You might want to go with a mild drop like the H techs for the Z.

Thanx Fizz, and I don't mind at all. I got them from LTB motorsports. Mounted, balanced, and delivered for $4300. I ordered them on Tuesday, June 28 and had them on Thursday, July 7. Also the 19's are back ordered for 90 days. 20's are readily available. Talk to Lewis at LTB. 1-888-346-7266, he will hook you up. Check out the momo FXL forged on there website. I really considered these because they are new and you prolly ain't gonna see many of them at 1300 large each! But they would look tight on a G.

To each his own. As far as gangsta, prolly not but they are dubs yo!
Just curious what would you have slapped on? I do appreciate your comments and taking the time to respond, peace.

I would go with a 255/35/20 (if you could find one) then when his speedo is at 60 mph he's actually traveling 60.1 mph.
Rear: When his speedo is at 60 mph he's actually traveling 59.6 mph (off by 0.7% too fast)This is the tire size I would have chosen too.

You have a pm. thanx
