not much. i do my own installs so watever it costs for the swift springs and camber/toe bolts u folks use, and $100-$150 for alignment.

Don't forget about the rear camber arms, unless those are necessary.

yah, i run stillen camber arms on my lowered G with their helical ball joints, but it's not necessary as long as your toe is corrected within.

but if you lower ur ride ull want to get wheels too..

The Z is the only car I've owned that isn't lowered. I knew the itch would eventually hit.

Edit: also the only car with it's factory wheels.

hahaha. actually my Z is the only car dat hasnt been lowered.

im keeping her at stock height with the nismo wheels. only a tad stiffer front swaybar and RE11's added. she drives and looks perfect for me.

See, that's my only issue. I say the Z is the first car I've had without a modified suspension, but it's also the first car I've had where I've been happy with the factory suspension. I'm almost afraid of changing something.

yep, i'd leave it alone and get yourself some nismo wheels (or similar spec 19x9.5 ET40/19x10.5 ET23) and RE11's. call it a day. btw, i run the whiteline aka kangaroo bar (front only) but u can also get the stillen bar and just run the front in the med setting. should be very close to the kangaroo bar without messing with those shitty pos bushing/collars

Yeah, if you lower your Z, BoneZ, your 18s are really going to get sucked in to the wheel wells.

One day when I'm not so poh. Or as Mrs. BoneZ would say, $1000 to the Z is $1000 away from the Ghia. So many racecar parts, so little funds.
