Guess I will add my stuff in this tread.

Here is my First 1977 280z (picture taken for photo class in HS)

Here is my new Z (photo class taught me nothing)

Togo · 07-08-2009, 09:09 PM

Looking good! I"m liking the 19"s over hte 20"s a lot.

Tim · 07-09-2009, 03:39 AM

19's > 20's

any plans for the future?

dlmartin81 · 07-09-2009, 12:34 PM

Very nice setup so far. Perfect drop IMO.

Did you shave/trim the chin spoiler?

CrownR426 · 07-09-2009, 02:31 PM

Dope, I'll probably be like you in the future!

Not anything major as of yet. Most likely going to get the stillen C/B exhaust in a month or 2. I want that deep exhaust tone.

no shave/trim. Just drop and adjusted camber/alignment.

I am going to have to raise it just a tad or camber the front around -.5.
right now its at -1.2 camber

I think I am rubbing on tight cornering and large dips in the road.

The more negative you go with the camber the more room you will have, the less likely you are to rub. If anything... run like -2 if you dont want to rub.

Also btw haha I dont think anyone else caught your photo class joke, but it was a good one

He has the base brakes, and no front chin spoilers.

I like the drop, really makes me want coilovers!

Nice Jason! Thanks for responding. I too want some venaci's but Im on the fence on whether to lower it or not because of the rubbing like you said and around here in Htown, I be scrapping my chin everywhere. I wish you someone had some pic of some wheels like these prior to lowering. What type of coilovers do you have again?

In my opinion the wheels do not look that good without a drop. They stick out too far without the drop. I had the wheels on without the drop and the front wheels stuck out about 3/4 of a inch past the wheel well.

The coilovers will help tuck things in on a aggressive offset. My issue with the rubbing is only because I have not tweaked my coilovers on the front.

here is the before the drop

The car look real nice, man.
