Getting lowered without springs?
Now I realize this doesn't apply to but very few cars but I was wondering if it was possible on the Z, moreso the Nismo Z because that's what I own. Is it possible to get "any" drop whatsoever without springs? It can even be 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch, anything is good. I think my car is close to perfect but needs a tiny bit more of a drop. Thanks.

I have seriously done this.. I had a random friend ride with me before.. he weights 285lbs and I weight 160lbs.. honest I had to tell him that he made my car so much sexier
it really does sit lower! besides that tho? get you some swift springs and a camber kit man.. our cars a pricey and being that yours is a nismo? don't keep out.. around $500 bucks is chump change compare to 40-50k

The closest thing you can do, OP, is to shave the rear rubber springmount. This has been done quite a bit on the 350z to even the height out with stock springs.
You cannot, however, lower the front without a new spring setup. There isn't any kind of perch to trim down. |

Anyway, yes in a few hours or so. I'm still at work. I also decided to say nay to the custom G3 because of the MAF's.
