I'm really pleased with the drop. The ride is definitely firmer but not in a bad way. I only had the drive home in rush hour traffic today so I will reserve my review of the overall performance of the springs.

Yep - like the new drop look -- be careful and don't let that car become a "show car".... (Sorry Tony, just joking....)

I'm sure somewhere back in the thread there is a Dobbin location listed, but because I'm old, fat, & lazy, can someone remind me of the exact location (street address or Lat/Long is fine). Looks like the weather is going to be reasonable this weekend and I need to get the ZR out for a little exercise...Thanks....

Looks super nice that drop! How much is the drop, .75" or 1.0" or more?

Thanks Papo, Trooper, Jay, Lance!

Papo, I didn't measure it. It will likely settle maybe 1/8th of inch more. I believe the drop from Swift Sport Springs for the 370Z is supposed to be something on the order of 1.25 Front and 1.0 in the rear.

Any problems with lowering due to the spacers?

That's my only concern with dropping mine, as I have 10mm H&R's on the front, and the front wheels extend the fender slightly.

Although I think the drop on the Tein S-Techs are a little less agressive, maybe 1" front & 0.7" rear. That might be slightly different considering I have the Nismo though.

Sport rims with a 15mm spacer shouldn't have an issue with a moderate drop. If you encounter any rubbing at all you can just get some of the front camber arms and dial in some more negative camber.

Just ordered my new wheels and accesories from eric @ driveline, should be here by the time it starts to get warm out! Pretty excited, my total with driveline was $400 cheaper than everyone else's base price for just the rims, not including lugs, hub rings, and center caps. Is it April yet?!?!?!
