I had just come back from a drive around town. I was driving with the windows rolled up.... You dont always have to ride with the windows rolled down...

When you see them parked like that is because the windows are usually up when the car is on the road....The main reason why a lot of roadsters drive with the windows up is to avoid wind interference....but what's great about the 350ZR is the rear wind deflector.....just a great improvement & no need to roll up windows while driving.....

As far as springs, it's like a personal choice...how low do you want to go

I just got done doing some lowering research & for my taste & choice was the Hotchkis springs.Front: 9/16" 15mm dropRear: 3/4" 19mm dropThey are made from cold wound silicon steel & are linear rate & powder coated seabring silver.

Some say that I would not need a rear camber arm/toe kit because of only the 3/4" drop. If you go 1" or more drop, than it's best to have the rear camber arm/toe kit. BTW my choice for the rear kit would be SPC & then have a 4 wheel alignment done.

So after adding up all the $$$ to be spent for this lowering mod......I now decided not to lower my ZR, in time the car will drop some and I would now rather save up for a Wilwood 6/4 BBK first.Just my 2 cents worth!Good Luck with your modding!

Your Z is looking good! IMO the ride height looks perfect with the wheels you got on there

Are they 19x8.5 15 offset front and 19x9.5 20 offset back? I am concerned about rub and want to be sure before I drop that much coin.

I agree with ALSZ and Krash. I think that ride height looks great. And YES to those rims!

I'm not usually a HUGE fan of the roadster, but your ride definitely changes my opinion. HOT

Your rims are 20" in front and rear. I was think of getting those or super hiros w/red strip for my red Z.Also, you car sits pretty low already. but that's from the angle of the picture. Not sure if it is actually that low. I wouldn't bother with a drop if it is actually that low.

And you also own a Mercedes?
