They don't. Different perspective. In the top image the wheels look slightly higher.

They do lol but its because one picture is from a higher angle like @cooltoy mentioned. I only done an inch to start and it was enough that I couldn't get the jack out from behind the car. I had to use small blocks under the rear wheels, even though it fit fine to raise it before the install. I can say the back gap seems a bit higher, but looking through my photos I feel like it was the same way before. The body is pretty level from behind the front wheels, and in front of the back wheels.

I believe you, I'm just kidding because the pics really don't show it. You gotta make comparison pics that are both flat from side.
But anyway, I think 1 inch is literally the height difference you need on most Z's. More than that already looks very low, and it may slightly interfere with how it rides. If you put spacers so that you will the wheel well flush with the rim, 1 inch drop is just exactly what you need.

Quick update:
Rohana LB Works wheels spec'd and ordered finally! Factory intercoolers coated with a heat extraction coating. The matte black is also more visually pleasing than the raw aluminum. For those not aware the AMS Intercoolers do not work with the VRX70B turbos. Turbo housings dropped off to get the heat treatment sauce as well. The install is now local with BTuned Performance instead of Z1. With this large of a job I am more comfortable with the car being close to home, and Btuned has a good reputation from what I have found. I have quite a few Axis CF parts on order but they are about 3 months off from arriving still. Little pic of the intercoolers below.

Turbo housings are coated. Still waiting on my CHRA's and AMS Flex Fuel kit. Got a couple more of my Axis parts. My first ever full sponsorship of Ti Lugs as well from Bulletproof Automotive. If you want to call it that they didnt make me sign any contract. Saved me close to 400 bucks so I was very happy. Sorry I dont have photos of the Turbo housings so its a link to a short instagram video.

Its been almost a month already, wow. New update:
- Wheels and tires have arrived. - Last pieces of the body kit should be here end of the month. - Turbo install was delayed until end of this month due to Z1 slacking. - AlphaRex Headlights ordered - Fuel Sock to elminate possible fuel starve - Bunch of other little things. Links to insta posts with wheel teaser, tire choice, and UPS dropping my wheels off literally. Sorry its linking to instagram if you dont like it, but I dont know how to put stuff on this site anymore other than attaching photos. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C20iI...RlODBiNWFlZA== https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2x_L...RlODBiNWFlZA==

God I hate instagram videos. You can't rewind, you can't pause, you can't see sh!t.
You can always either attach photos here or you can upload them anywhere, like imgur.com and then link them here.

Thank you! Im getting older and (more) stubborn. Ever since photobucket started basically robbing people, I stopped using hosting services. I figured what's to stop them from taking all my photos hostage again in a few years. Now I just pay 1.00 a month to apple and probably have a enough space for my lifetime. Then back it up to external drives.
