Nope, the roadster is 100 pounds less then the coupe... Drop looks good, I believe the springs do need time to settle in so your drop will slightly be lower over time... Until it settles that is..

You mean over time it's actually going to get worse?? That wouldn't be good. :shakes head:

I think it looks great! Agreed with the rest on the spacers. The Eibach drop is too mild IMO so this is a blessing lol. If the coupe was 1.2" F&R I probably would have gone this route instead of coilovers. How is the ride quality? It would be cool if Eibach came out with their sportline for the coupe in 1.2-1.3" drop F&R.

low is good my friend. Do not worry about your springs.
Car looks excellente =]

thumbs up for the first convertable with springs that I have seen.

I would be very surprised if the roadster is lighter than the coupe. The additional chassis braces and motors for the top usually makes convertible's heavier than coupe's.

I think the OP's car looks great!

:iagree:....exactly..

You did mention that you were putting in spacers in the rear but your pictures show that the fronts possibly need spacers as well. It might just be the pics. Other than that I don't see an issue with a low, sleek, 370z roadster. Do you?

:iagree: What he said..

Haha....hey, I know you! How's your IS? Mine died a vicious death about 5 years ago.

By the way...everything I've read suggests my stock shocks will be fine for quite awhile...

I can still see some wheel gap, I think you need to go lower.

Actually, I think it looks pretty good as is. Well, for a roadster :P
