For Coupe Owners who have Greddy bodykit...

as the picture show below, I'm concerned about how low I can drop my car without worrying about going over bumps... right now I'm only on the 18'', will put on my 19'' soon. Just want to know from owners who have greddy bodykit, what spring do you guys drop your car with? and how low should I drop? thanks alot!! sorry for crappy weather...God was crying earlier, and sorry for the crappy photo, was in a rush.

remember your front tires are going to be a different height with 19s, you will gain an extra inch in the wheels (divide by two) and an extra .26 in sidewall height, so you will actually sit .63 inches higher than now. An inch drop would look nice, so I'd say 350z htech will be just right or tanabe nf210s

No, the tires will be the same size if he gets the right aspect ratios. Changing wheel diameter should have almost no effect on ride height. Stock 18" tire sizes for the coupe are 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 respectively, oem 19" tire size is 225/40/19 and 245/40/19, so they end up being almost exactly the same diameter. Even when you upgrade to wider tires, the smaller aspect ratio makes the overall diameter almost the same, a set of 245-255/35/19 and 275-285/35/19 are nearly the same diameter as stock +-3%

Run 255/35/19 and 285/35/19, they'll be slightly taller and fill the gap a little more. Then get 350z-htechs and call it a day.

you can, but with the slight larger setup, you'll fill your gaps more and also get a few mm more clearance at the same time, and since your drop is pretty mild, those larger tires shouldn't rub unless your offsets are really low

not a big fan of air bag suspension, but if someone has like Kuruma bodykit, I'm more than willing to do a trade , but just let me see how the damn thing goes, the bottom of the kit is pretty scratched up anyways, no pain no game
