Stock vs Lowered...PIX
Here are some shots of my car compared to a stock one.
Both are 2005 6MT (comes standard w/ "Sport Susp. Pkg"
My car has Espelir "GT" springs for 350Z on it.
Just thought I'd show you guys for those contemplating...this is one option...I LOVE IT!!! ^-^

I like the lowered look but I think yours sits too low, sorry. Suspension travel on your ride has to be non-existent without rubbing...
Your wheel wells look huge to the sides now - instead of a wheel gap on the top, you have it on the sides.
Love the M wheels peeking through on the second shot..

Jimmy, your car is low and nice but it makes the side fender gaps huge.

I agree ... white looks sweet.
I acutally think the stock height is just about perfect. However I could see a .5 to 1 inch drop looking nice as well. Not to bash you or anything because everyone has their own style and tastes. Personally, I think the drop is too low.

Great comparison pics, but I personally find that the drop is a little too low. Other than that, white looks hot on the sedan. Looks like I'm edging towards white rather than black when I get mine later this year. White makes for easier maintenance and still looks nice.

Well, Jimmy, I think the car looks great at that height, but if it loses even 10% of it's handling prowess, it wouldn't be worth it to me. Since the springs you used were for a 350Z, though, maybe the performance is even better than stock. Then, you've just gotta watch out for road debris and high driveways, etc.
Enjoy your car babe - and don't be afraid to be different (just stay away from the outlandish wings and stuff, OK?).

The ride has to be like a shopping cart on a gravel road..
But to each their own.
