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. :tiphat:

Hey brother, im not sure because i haven't seem them in a while but back in the days they used to sell these clamps that you can put on the springs that all it does it gets two of the coils and puts them together. I don't know if you would do that to your Nismo but just to put it out there. In cheaper cars people just cut a coil or heat it up but then again we wouldn't do that to our Z so without changing the springs, that would be the best bet.

Thanks, but yeah I'd like to take the "right" way of doing this. If there is one without springs.

Fat passenger?

Seriously though, don't try any bootleg stuff, some new springs are your best bet.

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

Gah, didn't want to have to go with springs again on another car lol. Oh well, thanks.

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.

this thread is silly....

Seriously, I know this is a cheesy topic but don't bash it. It's a serious question.

Home made G3's and now this LOL. You're nuts Houston... Are you coming to get the spacers installed?

Wat

Yes but I was wondering if there is a way I can install wheel spacers without taking the wheels off? Like can we cherry pick the engine and do it that way? LOL. I kid I kid.

Anyway, yes in a few hours or so. I'm still at work. :happydance:

I also decided to say nay to the custom G3 because of the MAF's.

The later the better, it's fvcking hot!

springs are really cheap..... like $250 or less....

Get a heavy set girlfriend. Problem solved, and you can take her to McD's ;)
