Need a little help W/suspension guys

I bought this car secondhand. I can't really tell if this is the stock suspension ride height or not. ( I've seen some cars that look higher than this)

Am I taking crazy pills??
Help a guy out


Front


Back


Sorry for the dark pics

Edit: Mods feel free to move to suspension forum. (realized I probably shoulda put it there)

Looks like u have lower profile tires which give the appearance of a HUGE wheel gap. Give it an altitude adjustment.

Nah those are stock width and height tires lol

I just hear some popping in the back sometime so I was thinking maybe it has a minor drop(dunno)

Coming from my 4x4 maxima's stock ride height this is a little harder to tell

After finding some more stock G's to look at I'm pretty sure this is stock height. (still doesn't explain my clunking in the rear though)

That is stock height. You can clearly see the Red tokico shocks that came on Sport model sedans. And you have the sport model 17" wheels.

the more i see stock height and lowered sedans, the more i'm thinking mine was already lowered, i've got like a finger and a half over the rear tires (225r55 17's though)
but yeah, it def looks like the tires are undersized, just remember that a 215 55r17 isn't the same across brands and types of tires.

how are the tires? read good reviews of 'em...

Hmm..I didn't know that. Maybe they r a little undersized. Well this will be my winter setup soon anyway
Tires are great so far got about 3500 miles on them. Went through a NY winter already too. Grip is great too. a good compromise tire.

your car is very similar to mine, down to the Ecsta ASX's. mine are 225/50/17 on the same stock sport rims. your car looks about right for stock.

i'll be riding on an '06 Z suspenions soon, should help the gaps a bit...

+1 for the 350Z suspension


as for the OP (original poster)

you have the Stock Sport suspension (as noted by above person).

the clicking/popping in the back is likely due to the sway bar end links.

Its not a constant over bumps right, just every now and then?

How's your car ride on the 225's? That's what I wanted to get but got talked into keeping the oem sizes.
