Finally lowered my "X"

****EDIT****

I am selling my rims and tires. Please let me know if you are interested. They have about 4500 miles on them. Still in good condition. No curb rash.




Here are some quick pics. I will post better pics after I wash and wax.


Updated Pics are here: https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...64#post1262964

looks 10x better!
Your car looks clean already and I don't think it's gonna look shinier in the pic even you wax it. Your tires need some dressing though.

Niceee...welcome to the Club X.

Did you lowered it with revised or unrevised z springs? Have you aligned it? From the 4th picture, you can easily see the rear negative camber tilting in. Let us know how your alignment goes.

The rear looks real low. Can you even stick 1 finger in? Any rubbing?

Show us some BEFORE pics...

I used the unrevised Z springs. I have not had it aligned yet. I am gonna have it aligned next saturday. Yes, the negative camber is noticeable.

I have not had a problem with rubbing as of yet but I have not had anyone in the back. I think that I might have to roll my fenders in the rear but not sure. I have it a couple of bumps and went over a couple of speed bumps and have not rubbed so we will see.

As soon as I get it aligned I will post up the results.

Oh and I can barely fit 1 finger in the rear

Why does the rear look so much lower? You got junk in da trunk? Oh, and get some dressing on those tires. Otherwise, looking good.

nice... you should'nt have to roll fenders or do anything!! your rims/tires look like they clear easily. i have the same size rims and tires with a +42 offset and i probably could add a 5mm spacer to it. congrats

rear looks lower cause the fender wells come down lower than the front.

How is it when you have 2-3 people in the back? Do you rub?

I have only had 1 person in the back so far and yes it does get a little more bouncy. I am going to have 2 people in the back this weekend so I will let you know how that goes.

I should be going to get an alignment in a couple of days. Although I do think that the negative camber is helping me from not hitting the fender. It looks as though iI will rub against my fender if I get my negative camber fixed.
