M350ZB Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 yup, it runs on airbags... Thats cheating :lol:, Go low Ian Quote
Jon350z Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 I will if you will Ian Coilovers will hopefully go on within the next week. I'm 17mm lower in the front than stock and dont want to go lower than 25mm and I'm 15mm in the rear and could go to 28mm I think that realistic. Question is though does the car need to be lower in the front or was that just how the Tein springs designed? Quote
Ian Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Mine is lowered 25mm all round & the back is noticeabley higher Quote
Pingu2 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I have KW Variant too and am often grounding over those damn pyramid shaped bumps, although I try and go over with the wheels on them at 1mph and then boot it to the next one - the enjoyment of the booting it makes up for the crawling over.. I've lost count of the times people have nearly run into the back of me not expecting me to virtually stop in the road though... Quote
Ian Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 The bumps which are only half the width of the road I can get over with minor scrapes, its the full width ones I cant get over at all Quote
M350ZB Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 , its the full width ones I cant get over at all , a case of turn around then Quote
Ian Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 , its the full width ones I cant get over at all , a case of turn around then A detour Quote
M350ZB Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 i too have sometimes used these words with my g/f Quote
Jon350z Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 haha me too. But she knows how paranoid I am about the car, she's even starting to take pics on her phone of the cars next to me in case they scrach it I think I may start with 25mm all round, and see how it goes. Your cars sits at a nice height Ian. Quote
Ian Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 IMO 25mm is perfect. I would like it a bit lower in the back but my exhaust hangs lower than most so i scrape that loads Quote

Jon350z Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 I think it's more terrified of the repercussions. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Think I am at least 25mm at the moment, cant get a clenched fist under my side skirts next to the front wheel... So a scrape is a daily occurence! Esp as there is a speed bump in the lane out of my place and no chance of a detour! But I think its the y-pipe as its a tad frayed on one side! Wouldnt change it for anything though!! I love annoying 4x4 drivers!! Getting them back for the one that annoyed our convoy on the back lanes leaving oulton park..... Quote
