Default Dropped Zs - Before and After pics

Hello Z owners,
I am a new member and super excited about owning my 2013 White 370z. I had a 350Z previously and loved it too.

I am in the process of looking at new wheels and tires. It looks like a lot of cars on this site have been dropped. I didn't really want to drop my car for the purpose of buying specific wheels and tires but after reading some of the threads, it might be worth considering. I am a female owner and want my car to look sporty, but not in a teenage boy sporty way.

I am looking at a few lip kits and have a spoiler inbound. I need some help understanding what a moderate drop looks like (before and after) on a 370z with staggered 19 or 20" wheels. Does anyone have any advice?

thank you - Jen

I love my Swift springs with Koni yellow shocks.

Welcome to the 370Z forums. Be careful how tall of a diameter of wheels you choice to install because you could possibly have rubbing issues depending on what springs you decide to install. I would recommend the Eibach Pro Kit and Tein lowering springs since they give a very nice stance without making the drop too low.
