That setup is real close to my offsets +25/+12, same widths. Thanks a lot for posting all this info! please post those camber specs whenever you get around to it.

Decided they weren't needed, as the new set up is very close to stock.

Thanks a lot ztoon!

Glad to, Blueman.

will do! the front camber is what i was concerned with, and it looks like i could definitely manage without a front camber kit, i'd probably still go with the rear kit b/c the rear camber is a little too negative for what i'm looking for, but all the other specs look to be fine. I can't wait till my Z has that stance! How are you liking those damper settings of 15/20, hows the ride for street/daily driving? how's the handling overall?

I bumped the front damper up to 22, as I was getting some scraping at speed. Overall the ride shows a huge difference. Smooth, and corners like it's on rails.

yea i think it is the pic angle, its only in 1 pic that it looks higher in the front.

ArtVandaleigh · 09-19-2010, 06:21 PM

Great looking car.

nice drop! only crticism i have is the rear looks too aggressive. Need to balance the front perhaps with a vented hood? hood ducts? bumper ducts?

Funny you should mention that. I totally agree. I've got the Seibon TS style hood on order.
I also really like what Marco of MRWorks has created with the GTR style vented fenders.

Jeffblue · 09-19-2010, 07:32 PM

was looking at the drop and thinking about why people think it looks uneven Front/Back, i think its just b/c the tire in the front is thicker, so given the same fender height, there will be less fender gap the rear, which gives the illusion of being lower. I think it looks all around bad *** though.

IMHO the OP should raise the rear a little to make it look even. That will also improve his camber settings too. It looks uneven right now. If he was to put something heavy in the hatch, it would lower the rear and it would look funny. If he had a Z Enclosures with two 12" subs and amp, it would definately lower the rear...
