to lower are not to lower?.?
 
Well my 370Z has the Eibach Pro Kit Performance Springs with from what they say it lowers the car .9" in the front and .8" in the rear the stance is beautiful and it handles better but i don't know if it's becouse of the springs are upgraded sway bar or gt ladder brace (they were all installed at the same time) but over all for me it's not worth it. The roads here suck i mean i go very slow at an angle in and out of driveways speed bumps and what not but is scraps the S&*% out of most stuff, just the plastics mostly but ya know i still sucks. It's not like this is my 1st low car had a vette that was darn low but here's some pics..

As much as that looks good it to me is not practicable. I mean as many speed bumps as I see and go over even within a month it would not be worth damaging something.

winter setup? you get a beater and drive that.

sad watching folks driving around salt crusted sports cars in the winter slipping and sliding even with snows on. keep the car in the garage in winter.

With a mild drop you can manage to have a practical ride. ;)

However, once you go over 1 inch drop then you are looking for trouble.
