MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Sorry, the photos are in this link of Adrians car lowered with Eibach springs... http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... sc&start=0 Quote
Adriank Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks CS, it does improve the look a lot to lower, but you NEED the spacers, the whels will look swallowed if you dont fit spacers aswell. I struggle with some speed humps and ramps aswell, one aspect to be aware of. The car does sit very low. Quote
Stew Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I have my 18" Rays on just now and it's lowered on Eibachs. If you want to see it/ feel the difference first hand let me know and we can sort something Quote
Pimm Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I have my 18" Rays on just now and it's lowered on Eibachs. If you want to see it/ feel the difference first hand let me know and we can sort something Any pictures for reference Stew ? Not sure if i will order spacers or not and if i didi what ones/size Quote
Stew Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 emmmmmmmm :lol: I have plenty with the summer wheels on though! Quote
Pimm Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I love your summer wheels but my budget is tight so another picture with your rays, no spacers and no snow would be great Stew Quote
Stew Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I'll try and get some....... I will say this though. It NEEDS spoacers! I'm not sure if it's because I have it kitted but the Rays looks llost in the arches! I'm working all daylight hours just now but I'll try and take the car to work tomorrow and maybe sneak out for a couple of pics...... Quote

Chris`I Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I cannot reitterate enough how much you need spacers when lowering it. However much you think you need to lower it, you need spacers as least twice as much! Adrians car is a key example, looks cracking now Quote

Adrians car is a key example, looks cracking now So it looks like when i order my springs i need spacers aswell OK so do i go for the 25mm rear and 20mm fronts or 25 25 both sets ?? AND when i upgrade to 19's will the wheels then poke out to much ?? Advice needed chaps, Thanks Quote

Advice needed chaps, Thanks Well if you upgrade you can get the best (read correct) offset so can remove the spacers and sell them on. 20/25 looks good I think. I'd order what Adrian K did as his looked great! CS will advise Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Pimm, PM replied to… I’d recommend 20mm spacers front and rear if you’re also lowering, it’ll help prevent any wheel/arch rubbing on the rear, which could occur with 25mm spacers on the back… When Adrian was in contact with me about the springs/spacers he wanted the 20mm set front and rear with the Eibach springs… Quote

Just need to sort out a few more pounds and i will place my order. Quote
Adriank Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Yeah i did as CS described, 20mm front and rear and the eibach springs. I think 25mm ones would run the risk of rubbing i think. I'm really happy with the stance on mine now. Quote
GT4 Zed Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Hey Adrian your car is schweet have u got the zorst on yet. It will be nice to see/hear in flesh. BTW has anyone used eibach sportline springs + spacers(2omm) with rays? This is my plan though i am beginning to think it might be too low or rub, looking at the pics of your car. CS to the rescue?

I can get the Sportline springs but they sit very very low, it's a drastic drop, not suited to UK roads... Quote
GT4 Zed Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 CS do you know if their sping rates are same or different? i know they are both progressive Quote

Exhaust is going on the 28th feb mate. From memory i thought the sportlines were stiffer and NOT progressive. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Both the Pro-kit and Sportline have a Progressive Spring Design… Quote
Stew Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Oh, I have some pics of my car lowered with no spacers on the rays..... clicky Quote
Pimm Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Oh, I have some pics of my car lowered with no spacers on the rays..... clicky Thanks Stew Quote
Stew Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Looks gash and proves the point perfectly that you NEED spacers when lowering on standard wheels! Quote
