Who's gonna drop / lower their Z?

Camber gang with stock wheels/offset... lol

He seriously asked "what he should do next?" He should throw any and all electronics that aided his efforts to massacre that Z into the nearest body of water, that's what.

My son just dropped his Commodore cost him $250 bucks parts and labour included in Australian dollars….which is like $200 US
Just starting his own business so has done heaps on his car for next to nothing…and it’s starting to look awesome

fortune autos 510 with swift springs and also getting their air piston lift system (air cups)

 

[Go2ZZZ]

I would lower it for sure but like an inch and half. Don’t wanna slam it too low

 

[Darth Zed]

I’ve been going back and forth on that myself. I think I’m going to wait for Fortune to come out with a set of air piston coilovers for the new Z. Best of both worlds

 

[LeatherWings]

Check out that stance! Looks??

Different strokes for different folks, but I really dislike the lowered look. A lowered stock car body just looks super awkward to me, like your shocks are broken and your car is on the verge of coming apart.

Sure, race cars are also lowered, but they have purpose-built fenders and the tires are fairly centered in the wheel wells. This, to me, is how it should look.

Can someone educate me on this part of the car culture w/ slammed and crooked wheels? Is this kinda like the pants hanging down low-to-thigh fashion culture?

Pretty much; just for show.. It has no real benefits in driving/tracking. Actually much worse in both situations.

God, yeah. Imagine driving that thing in the rain, let alone trying to turn (dry or wet). You have the contact patch of...well, hardly anything. Crap for a turning radius, too. Can't even fathom what other stressors not even considered when developing the car are put onto other parts of suspension, etc.

ill be droping mine either with springs or coilovers so i can get rid of that SUV gap. But that will be about it. None of this slammed stuff.

 

[LeatherWings]

Whoaa, I might have to change my vote to "no...gonna go the other way...rally!"

I'm actually super into this:

It looks fucking retarded and drives even worse than it looks. Who needs contact patch, anyways.

My Z will see plenty of snow, the only thing I'm dropping is money on a set of winter tires.
