I think they're still chrome, just the reflection makes it look like they're color matched to the body

Another IP sedan in DFW? You should come to the monthly meets we're trying to resurrect.

BTW, I have a full revised Z suspension if you're looking to go with a mild drop since I went with coils not too long ago.

Hi I already posted this at the suspension thread but I might get more answers here so: (also thanks in advice for the help )


Question for you guys. I have stock non sport struts with sportlines for coupe springs. Here's how she sits now with 18"s

Now the questions, it is sagging I'm not sure if you can see clearly at the picture though but what are my options? I have a set of 350z springs and I was thinking of just putting the rears so it will bump it up a bit, right? Or just look something g lower for the fronts? Any recommendations? I can't afford coils yet. But that's my plan for the end of this year. I was also planning of buying a front n1 lip so I'm leaning towards dropping the front instead. Again, any suggestions for what will drop it more? Also, I'm kind of sunken now and don't know much for spacers but what do you think are the size I'm looking to buy here? Rims are +43 9" for rears and +43 8" for fronts. Looking to get more "flush" look hopefully.

No and No.

I believe 18" is the minimum and even then the offsets/design has to be kept in mind.

I wish, though, lol. Would be wicked to get some track rims smaller than 18", kind of silly large.

Don't bother doing a damn thing until you get coils. Waste of time and energy. Get coilovers, period.

Are you sure about those specs? Doesn't look like that from the pictures man.
My 19" Enkei G37S Rims are spec'd VERY close to the same as what you posted and I'm not tucked in NEAR that much, I'm only 10-15mm from being flush. And I'm much lower than you are also.
I'm no expert, not by a long shot, but based on the pictures, and what I have seen in person, those specs you wrote are wrong, IMO

Also, this isn't the place for those types of questions really, there are numerous wheel/tire, suspension, fitment threads for specifically these questions with a bunch of stretch/poke OG's that can easily help get you rolling in the right direction

Edit, hmmm perhaps your specs are right. I forgot how much my rims are sunken in right now, I really need some spacers

And I also have meaty tires on there, you have stretched tires.

I think they were discussing of going to Buffalo Wild Wings on the 19th I believe.

My latest pic before I went with coilovers.

It was was about a ~1 inch drop all around

Front bumper scraping

I bought this car off an auction and every time I go up or leave my driveway the front bumper scrapes and I thought nothing of it the first couple times. It's been scraping every time I enter a residential area. I noticed today that my front bumper is getting chipped and some pieces are falling off. I was wondering if the guy before me had the car lowered. How can I check if it has been lowered, and also how could I be able to lift it? Also how much would it cost for me to lift it (to factory or a little higher. )
