a full z suspension will lower the sedan prob more then 2 inches..the coupe set up will lower u conservatively (less then 2 inches) a lot of people will run coupe springs and struts in the rear and do the Z suspension up front..gives it a nice drop

Can someone else confirm this? I did some searching and from what i read i was pretty sure the full Z suspension would be conservative (around an inch all around)??

Not sure where he got his info, but full Z suspension will drop you about 1" and coupe springs will drop you about .5".
The Z/G set-up is desirable as a mild drop because the rear (G-coupe) springs drop aout .5" and the front (Z-springs) drops about 1". Most like it because the rake creates an even fender gap (rear fender is cut lower) and eliminates the "squating" look.

O.P, if they are +40mm offset you might need to do a slight roll of the fender. I ran 255/35/19's on 19x9.5's w+40 offset and they fit nice. They did rub on hard turns or big bumps, but 97% of the time it was good.... I was on G/Z springs.

Oh and BTW im running unrevised G/Z springs with tokico shocks and loving it. I started with a full Z drop, but opted for the G rear springs later on. On level ground you can see the slight rake, and the fender gaps are even...

Does the full Z set up give it a squating look?

Yes because the Z suspension will drop you about 1" front and rear. The rear wheel wells on our cars are cut a little lower than the fronts. The gap between the rear tires and fenders is less than the gap in the front. It's more noticable once the car is lowered. It isnt much, but when you have a 1.5" gap up front and a 1" gap in the rear it becomes more pronounced. Some dont mind it and others (like l) prefer an even gap front and rear. By running Coupe rear springs it increases the rear gap slightly and elimiates the "squatting" look.

Thanks, so would you agree that going with stock z shocks and z springs up front with coupe rear springs will give me a good stance and ride??

I am happy with the stance, it gives a nice subtle drop. The Z shocks/springs will firm up the ride a little bit. Iv'e never run OEM Z shocks so I cant say with certainty, but there are a lot of people who do run them and seem quite happy. From what I hear it's a nice upgrade without being overly aggressive.

I went from OEM suspension to Z springs/OEM sedan shocks to Z front/Coupe rear with tokico shocks for a Z. I am happy with the set-up.
