Nissan 370Z Forum  

Z1 370z is here.

I like the wheels, but the car looks like it is too low in front and not low enough in back. It seems like it might make the lip contact

The front isn't too low. The rear is too high.

We used a combo I have the fronts taken back apart right now. And just installed a Nismo intake so maybe we will dyno again tonight. And yes the drop is too low we had to remove the front flaps before driving it out of the shop. Much more to come.

I will keep you guys informed as we go.

What are those flaps for? I've seen them on other cars as well but never understood what they were for. IMO, they look stupid but I'm sure the manufacturer put them on there for a reason. How import is that reason, I don't know.

Beautiful, not a fan of the chrome wheels but looks great overall...

Look forward to seeing where you go with it.
