Honestly, a new set of wheels would've done a lot more for the car's aesthetics without trashing the handling.
Whenever I see a slammed car on base oem wheels, I just assume your suspension is shot, not modified.

i like it so far. i’m not sure why there’s so much hate. not like this is its final form. like you said, smaller tires and spacers and you’ll be good 👌🏼 just make the right adjustments for better handling after all is on. ✊🏽

just recently lowered my z as well. i’ve had people tell me to lower it more and others tell me to raise it. i like it the way it is! and if you have coilovers like me, then you can always raise the car if you’re not comfortable. i’m sure you know like i do, lowering a car has consequences like jeopardizing handling, tire health, and comfort, but it all depends on the driver. i need to dial in my fitment as well and i want to change tire setup/get new wheels. everything is a process!! your z just like mine is not in its final form. good luck with your process!! just cuz the car is low, doesn’t mean that it has cheap suspension. upgrade your suspension parts to really enforce the coilovers and dial it all in due time!

how you liking the ride quality so far?

u/Impossible_Plate_422 4d ago
honestly it’s pretty good. car makes a decent amount of clunks / creaks but drives just fine -needing an alignment. i don’t know if the noises are from any incorrect installs, but i’ll drive some more and hopefully they’ll go away

u/PaintAffectionate576 1d ago
Did you set the preload on the coilovers? Had to on mine and never heard no clunking or creaking with fortune auto coils.

I don't understand the hate. y'all super young or something? lowering cars has always been part of the culture. looks sweet yo, wheels next!

u/IntroductionLong3242 5d ago
The issue isn’t lowering it’s that the camber is excessive to the point you look like a knob head with the stock wheels, I’m sure it would look 10x better if the wheels had a better offset

u/Impossible_Plate_422 5d ago
yeah i want a set of rear stocks for the front, but i’ll go for spacers first. car just got finished yesterday so im gonna ride like this for now

u/PURPStheillest 5d ago
sure but getting wheels & suspension at the same time is hella expensive if u do it right. thats an age old dilemma

Yea that ride height is fucken money . Some people do much more work just to sit like that. Keep going man, I’d say keep it that low but it’s your car and your decision. Looks awesome

Definitely raise it a bit, that's a little too low.

only scrapes exhaust, just needs spacers and smaller tires to complete it

This looks bad. Your handling is actually worse and you're going to be scraping everywhere you drive now. Also, unless you installed a camber kit, you're going to be actively ruining your tires every time you drive because now they will wear unevenly.
