Once I was all the way dropped...I lost the front lip on a driveway.

see...thats what im trying to avoid lol. i actually have a minor dent on the black plastic part of the splitter. i was so low that i hit my own ramps the first time i dropped the car after setting the coils. i immediately raised the front. ill replace that part eventually...but from what i hear nissan charges ~$400 for that part!

no Z action again today. i have a list of stuff to do on my other cars but on the Z only the mine's rear wing lip thingie.

anyone want to sell me their rear near/near new 275/35/19 tires?

i need to replace the rear tires on my G35C... i suppose i can use the 2 rear tires from my sport wheels im not using, but i'd hate to put more scratches on them.

chops- can't you heat it and push it out from the back?

i did! took a heat gun to it and pushed it out, but its still slightly indented. couldnt get it to mold perfectly into the exact shape since its rounded. did my best though.

ill just end up replacing it sooner or later as it gets more and more scrapes (the first week or two getting used to the lowness definitely scraped it up a bit heh). but now that i know what i can and cant go over, i hardly scrape!

kenchan · 06-08-2011, 01:54 PM

sounds good. i have not yet encounted any scraping on my ings.

This is what I did with my 370z today.

20x8.5 front 20x10 rear +25 offset (I think)

Hankook V12s 245/30/20 Front 275/35/20

I really wanted to go wider in the front but they don't make a 20x9 or 9.5. I'm hoping these look good and will ride well.

The think I'm concerned with is being able to drop on swift springs once I have these on.

They get installed tomorrow.. Pics coming!

Wow! Bump! Is nobody across the forum some gazillion members strong not doing anything with their Z? Well I find that hard to believe!

Drove her to work and to the grocery store today. Parked out in the Amazon two spots down from a second generation Eclipse.

Jjaden · 06-09-2011, 06:03 PM

Just had F.I. HFC installed. Combined with the F.I. CBE the car sounds amazing now, and my but-dyno seems to notice a difference.

Dude I was thinkin the same all day. I periodically check in on my Droid and nobody was reporting anything! Slow day I suppose....

happytheman · 06-09-2011, 07:55 PM

In for pics! Can't wait to see how it looks on MB!

My car will probably never see the track, so I'm not too worried about it. From what I've read the 20's weight about 30lbs each. Not too far off from my 18" base wheels.

My main concern is the potential for them bending. I've had several pair of Konig's (was even sponsored at one point) and never had a problem but read a lot of threads with people bitching about it.

The wheels get put on at noon tomorrow. Pics soon

I really hope I can still go with the swift spring drop I plan, provided that they ever get delivered. 40days and counting.
