Re: drop and wheel spacers (jaym5k)
That does look good. Its hard to tell do you have any tire sticking out past the wheel wells? What are the mechanics behind those spacers? Did you just replace the studs with a longer set and throw a spacer on?

That color keeps growing on me everytime I see it.
Can you get a better rear side shot looking down the car? You know, lay on your stomach and snap a pic.
Will you paint that front valence, or will you just keep it natural? Your Z needs some teeth with that thing.

I am planning on painting the lip to match the orange but leave the middle black.
Re: (Dasoupdude)
I had the same lip not so long ago and it does not make the front any closer to the ground. It extends the lip out by about 2" give or take but the bottom of the lip kit is flush with the stock one.Dasoupdude wrote:
Looks great, its just that last picture has got me confused. for a lip, the front still looks high off ground
perhaps its just the angle..
Re: (xjmxstac)
how big was the drop??
Re: drop and wheel spacers (jaym5k)
just two spacers? or four?
Re: drop and wheel spacers (redsx13)
To the OP
A pic would be awesome to compare how far it pushes the wheels out. Pic down the side of your car.
Also, are they any adverse effect to adding spacers? does it affect tire wear? Ride? Handling corners? Bumps?
Did you personally notice a difference in any of these aspects?
And what brand did you buy? and have you had any rubbing issues? We have pumpy roads in Spokompton...
I love my stock track wheels but would like a little more offset, thanks for the help.

Jaym5k,
What is the brand of the wheel spacers?

Re: drop and wheel spacers (kuhan)
They are ichiba, the extended stud version 15mm still for sale. With the 25mm spacers I have on the car feels the same as it did before. With the 1.2 inch drop all around the car is MUCH stiffer, a little less comfortable when driving, but i would still say the drop was well worth it. I will try to find a good before and after pic of the spacers in the rear.
