Check out my lowering job

[qsiguy]

Didn't really, not yet at least, lower it. There's a "make me a sig" thread in general chat and someone made this for me. Back's a little low but it looks way cooler.

Before...

After...

[maxnix]

Looks way broken to me. But whatever.....

Nice Photochop work

[qship96]

Looks like one too many sumo wrestlers are sitting in it.

[SanCarlosQ45]

I personally dont like it. I think it looks great the way it was. The styling of the Q45 other than the wheels is great stock.

[ScottJackson]

I think you should shoot for somewheres in betwixt. Instead of a 2.5-3" drop, go for 1-1.5" drop. If you go to a 2" drop, run some lower profile tires so it doesn't look quite so overloaded with sumos.

[qsiguy]

I'm getting about 1.5" with the cali customs that will be installed when I get some time.

I think I'll see if the guy can raise it a little, I just want to loose the tire gap, not tuck the tires.

[jmorasch]

looks good,I like the lowered look on the Q. Ive got 20inch rims on my Q and Ive got slight rubbing issues....when I hit serious dips.my tires are set in the wheel wells the same as yours would or will be from the pics. look at it this way too,people will think about things before they go cutting you off with those sumos riding in your Q.

[superuber]

Looks like mine! I like it!

My Q gobbles up the tops of its tires.

that green is so delicious.

Yeah, 1-1.5" drop is sufficient enough. I don't like the pic also. Reminds me of the cheap honda's in the area.

Looks good just sitting there, but in reality it's too low. I agree with what you said, "I want to loose the tire gap, not tuck the tires."

That was exactly my feeling on it. That's the idea I'd like. I want to see my tires, but not all the way inside the wheel well.

This is nice, but it's what I don't want.

[qsiguy]

This is the one! Perfection. If I can only duplicate this in real life I'll be happy.

[VJ1]

Today I put on the same wheel set up as you did. (350z 17" w/ 225/50/17 and 235/50/17). I am not a fan of lowering, but with the new look I'm leaning towards a 1" drop. BTW....thanks for posting your tire set-up, I followed it for my sizing. Holy crap... Michelin Pilot Sport were $240. each.Luckily I got the wheels for only $100.Vandi.

You got it! That's the look.

YEAH! I concur!!

Saw how you did it on VSC, hope you're saving up for air or coilovers since you have rubbing issues

[Haitian_King]

Van from OTG has Insurance coilovers for G50's for like $1750.

[thejapino]

I'll leave it as is. As of now I don't have plans to go with coilovers. The only rubbing issue I have is when I turn sharply, the outside of the front tires rub the fender. I've already trimmed the plastic liner but I didn't roll the fenders yet. I probably won't roll 'em until I go with a wider tire or a different set of wheels. Overall I'm very happy with the setup.

I updated the thread on NICO also. See the posts in the end:zerothread/314402
