Well I finally went ahead and put on an 03 350z setup, springs/shocks and struts. I must say it was a pretty straight forward install, and Im real happy with the drop it gave the car. The ride is alot stiffer than it was stock, and it takes some getting used to I must say, but handling is definatly noticeable.
Im looking into putting in Stillen sways next probably, and would love to do polyurethane bushings since Brooklyn roads aren't so nice on us lowered people.
Sorry for some of the pictures btw, the lower part of my front bumper is dirty as all hell, with spots of orange paint on it [long story, dont ask]. Didn't get a chance to run through a car wash before taking these pictures. Ill grab some night shots as it gets darker.

Very nice. Paint looks great.
By the looks of it the weather should be great around here the next few days, so looks like its detail time.

Yeah the paint matched up really well it's hard to find a good body shop that can match our silver or at least it is here in Hawaii. The drop looks good with the factory wheels as well I wonder what they would look like with some spacers to bring them out a little just 5mm...
Yea looking at it from the side more and more It makes me want to put some spacers on there.
I really want to find coupe 18's first for it. If i do find a good deal Id love to get the 19's, but tires are just sp expensive in that size. Brooklyn roads aren't nice at all, so getting aftermarket rims feels like a waste of money with all these potholes and "canyons".

I always thought we come out in China. I swear i lost a tire once and i saw it on sale on a Chinese website the next day.

LOL glad I don't live or commute through NYC! Spacers would be a good investment in your case then with the roads...

How harsh is your ride i'm still contemplating putting on my suspension. The roads here are TERRIBLE. I dont know if it's worth it.

Wow your car looks pretty low for only putting on 350z suspension.. It just might be the combination of a pretty small tire wall and small rims b/c theirs no tuck that i can see... But none the less its looking good. Are you keeping thoses rims. If so i would invest in some Spacers. Keep it up.
