Now that I have that out of the way...time to get the stance right! My KYB shocks and struts come in this week and my lowering springs will be in next week.

Thanks for looking!!

sam strano's got some 1.2 s that are nice. check out wammer3024 s album. the convertable sets lower (heaver) than a hardtop though so hes 1.75 or so down.

I bought them used off of craigslist...wheels and tires for 500.

I'll look at his Z and see what it looks like.

I think its the pics...its stock height. I measured it a few weeks ago and I think the back was 1/2 " higher than the front, and I could handle 1 1/2" drop and still be ok. I just ordered the strano 1.2" lowering springs....hopefully they will work...I'm running 285's in the rear now and 245's in the front (thats what come with the wheels) once I wear those out I hope 285's will fit all the way around.
