Looks super nice that drop! How much is the drop, .75" or 1.0" or more?

Thanks Papo, Trooper, Jay, Lance!

Papo, I didn't measure it. It will likely settle maybe 1/8th of inch more. I believe the drop from Swift Sport Springs for the 370Z is supposed to be something on the order of 1.25 Front and 1.0 in the rear.

Any problems with lowering due to the spacers?

That's my only concern with dropping mine, as I have 10mm H&R's on the front, and the front wheels extend the fender slightly.

Although I think the drop on the Tein S-Techs are a little less agressive, maybe 1" front & 0.7" rear. That might be slightly different considering I have the Nismo though.

None that I noticed but I only had it on the road for the drive home from AAM so I'll let you know. So far its all good!

The car looks great Jon! I'm looking forward to finally seeing some Z's on Saturday.

Thanks! We'll see you this weekend for sure.

Drop looks perfect! What are your thoughts on the ride?

I'm really pleased with the drop. The ride is definitely firmer but not in a bad way. I only had the drive home in rush hour traffic today so I will reserve my review of the overall performance of the springs.

Yep - like the new drop look -- be careful and don't let that car become a "show car"....

(Sorry Tony, just joking....)

I'm sure somewhere back in the thread there is a Dobbin location listed, but because I'm old, fat, & lazy, can someone remind me of the exact location (street address or Lat/Long is fine). Looks like the weather is going to be reasonable this weekend and I need to get the ZR out for a little exercise...Thanks....
