Show Us Your Drop
 
I started this thread to show those looking to lower their 370z with springs how their car will look like with each brand. When I was searching for a set of lowering springs, it would have been nice to cross reference the available springs for the 370z. I've only managed to post up the more popular springs. Feel free to contribute what I have missed.

This is how your car will look like when dropped.

Tongman - the last pic of the MBlue Z with nismo kit...I believe he is on swift spec-r's in that picture, not the nismo suspension.

Correct me if I'm wrong TjLazer

TongMan 05-07-2011 04:54 AM

Thanks if that's correct then I'll change it. See if he responds.

x102x 07-17-2011 11:34 PM

all u guys use spring, how long does the stock shock last? bc I m thinking get z drop too about 1.25f and 1.r, but its my daily driving so I wonder, I would be fine with spring or just get coilover for long run? let me know what yall think. thanks

LMBmikeZ 07-18-2011 05:04 AM

Might as well get the springs for now. Then when the stock shocks go and other suspension and alignment parts break, just replace them with quality aftermarket parts.

That's exactly what I did with my Z32tt got springs and a few years later shocks broke! So then i just paid for the coils it was basically same amount of money that i needed to fork out to fix it at that time anyway.

I've been thinking of getting the actual nismo struts and springs on my Z as I don't wanna go super low...I've read that they give about half an inch. Anyone done this and confirm besides just using the nismo springs on stock suspension?

rozenre 08-03-2011 12:07 AM

No bags for me.
