Let's just hope (for your pocketbook's sake) this isn't the first step down that slippery slope of eliminating wheel gap. It starts innocuously with the 350z springs, then either indirectly progresses to other aftermarket springs or veers directly into coilover territory. Not a bad way to go, though
Listen to this advice carefully. pnn speaks the truth, it's happened to a few of us. Originally Posted by pnn23

Handling would be better as you've lowered your center of gravity. Let's just hope (for your pocketbook's sake) this isn't the first step down that slippery slope of eliminating wheel gap.

I also had z springs for a while and was scrapping a lot. I'm now on coilovers and much lower and scrapping is not a problem anymore. I think the z springs have a lot of bounce to them which makes it easy to bottom out.
