Yeah, Eibach springs. The lower profile tires tend to give it a bit more gap. I want it about another 1/2 lower, so I'm looking into coilovers right now

Although I will have to remove the front splitter and wheel deflectors, since they rub all the time now.

VERY VERY Nice man! I love it. Those Nismo rims are fantastic looking. Just out of curiousity, are they (Nismo rims) lighter than the sports pack RAYS? Because I know sports package RAYS are super lightweight to begin with.

Do you know which coilover? BC?

Rear: Sport Wheel = 23.8lbs | Nismo = 23.0lbs
Front: Sport Wheel= 23.2lbs | Nismo = 20.7lbs

They save weight while still adding a 1/2 in width

Yes, I am considering the BC, as well as the Stance, KW, & HKS.

They look tight. I'm liking the black better on your color, nice job.

I really like your ride height now, man. It's tasteful. Me, personally, I wouldn't go lower, unless if you're tracking your car. But to each their own. Whatever you decide to do, I'm sure it'll look good regardless.

I know what you mean, I like it too look tasteful and be functional as well.
After installing the lower profile tires it created a bit more fender gap. I thought it was good when I originally installed the Eibachs with the stock tires. Maybe it just needs to come down about another 5-8mm.

Cobra, the wheels look sweet on the silver Z

I saw this car rolling through Brea, and it looks killer!!! I hope you don't mind but I may copy your setup (just the wheels).
