Finally got the drop..

At first it was too low, I had a 1 and half inch more to go til its bottomed out.


bad angle shot, but bumper was sitting on the floor.


After getting the ride height I wanted. 2in play in the front, 1in in the back(sorry, generic cell phone quality)


Adjusted the coilovers again because one side was higher than the other. Now its even.



The problem is that, I need to get new front end links, because the stock ones are too long. Anyone got some for sale?

I was told to get a camber kit also, to prevent camber wear. (front and rear is tucking)
Any for sale?

lmk,

Do yoy understand what camber and camber wear is? Wheel spacers will help w/ the wheels being tucked, they will push the wheels out. If you are getting new wheels soon, i'd say just get new wheels w/ a good offset then you won't need spacers.

Check the suspension sections on the forums for camber stuff. My350z has some good technical info. On my phone now, so you can search that.

I read about getting spacers and the whole new wheels thing. All I know is that, it is going to be awhile until I pick up wheels. I want some fat offset ones though.

thanks for the help btw

I'm on oem 19's and sitting pretty flush. Right about now I'm dropped at about less than a finger gap and rear fenders rolled. Check out the oem 19's pic post thread. There's the loads of pics of people running them.

I have 20mm for the front and 25mm for the rear. I'm just too lazy to put them on. Gonna wait till I install my springs and do them at the same time. I will take before and after pics

For some reason, my front fenders are rolled but not the rear. I'll check on that 19's post
