Dropped on 350z h-techs/new camera

Hey guys

still opted to drop my car, installed by a cool cat in Long beach, 350z h techs + springmount mod, still needs to settle, but you get the point, will udpate with new pics!
spacers are 20f 25r ichiba v2

and yes I traded my stock 19 inch rays for these 18's, which I still love for some reason.
the tires are Falken 452 225/40/zr18 and Dunlop Direzza 255/35/zr18

and just picked up a Panasonic Lumix GX1 + Panasonic 20mm / f 1.7 "pancake"

lots of pics, some are of his car, enjoy!

Kevin

yup, softer spring rate (not good), all four corners are 0.5 inches higher (not good either)

you should go with z h-techs!!

^ dude thanks again for the bumper deal man, still don't regret the drive lol

the springs were 140, they had about 5000 miles on the seller's Z, look on my350z.com for em

and if not, some vendors have em for like 190 shipped...love the drop for my age man...so over slamming my cars to the floor

and btw, my cat scrapes EVERYWHERE? how do you guys drive with a 2.5 inch drop??

here's my 2005 honda accord hybrid on tein basics all the way down for reference, i'm just too old for that ****

You are welcome! I'm glad everything worked out! Your new drop looks good but are you saying with this drop your G35 is scraping your cats?

I think it looks good if a minor drop is what you are shooting for. I think the wheel gap would be smaller if he had bigger wheels. I'm still thinking about doing this drop.

I'm just so over slammed cars, and dropping the G really is different from dropping other japanese cars, it's so low to begin with!! I'm dropped about 1.2 inches all the around, and I can't get over medium speed bumps without scraping the **** out of my cat, and that's going slow and slanted!! I love the drop, here's a picture of my new wheels, volk sf winning, will do a photoshoot when I get a little bit bigger spacers

Your car looks bad azz. You are right, the car is low already. I don't wanna drop if it's gonna scrape that bad.
