Don't leave me out.

By the way- why pick "the shocker" as your symbol? I bet you guys have a hell of a time explaining it to people.

Correction.. Ive seen them before and they are from a 350z. These are the newest rims that come with the Track Edition or whatever the top of the line Nismo model is. BTW they look great on the sc.

actually the wheels came off that white 2005 touring edition 350z in the picture. the track edition 350z comes with 6 spoke alloys that you all have probably seen. the wheels fit perfect front to rear. the rear has like seriously 1mm fender to tire gap with -2.5 degrees camber. the front rubbed before i rolled the fenders, but now it turns notch to notch without rubbing.

I love it. From what I understand from reading other members comparing them to other suspension set ups, they're as close to the stock ride as possible...Without being stock.

Is that what you are using in the SC in your avater? If so...that way to low for me. I dont see how anything that low can be compared to stock if that car in you avatar has the same springs?!

That picture was taken with the Tokico Blue/ Espeilr ASD combo, yes. It's sitting so low due to the fact that I'm on stock wheels. I only had a slight scraping problem if I pulled into my driveway. Backing in, there was no problem. It comes with the territory of having a lowered car. The car is back to stock, now.

When comparing the ride to stock, I'm comparing the ride quality, not the height. Meaning, it feels like stock but still handles well, etc... It's not something that's going to shake your teeth out or give your girl friend chest paint

Espelir gives a great drop, as you can see from the pics posted by the thread author. Mine just happens to look really low and out of whack due to the factory rolling stock and not being aligned yet (read: camber kits).

Search around- you might want to look into adjustable coilovers, or the least expensive route would be Eibach springs for what you seem to want.

Let's stop hi-jacking this dude's thread though. If you have any more questions, PM me.
