I was curious about how low Zs can get. I'm a 240 owner myself and see several slammed 240s. I love the look of a slammed car with flush wheels. Now please, no need to lecture me on how going to low will hinder performance and that whole gospel. I just wanna see pics of lowered (read more than 2 inches) Z because I don't see that many around. I'll start off with these two pics I saw on Zilva.

thats a tough request, most current Z owners dont go for that slammed looked, they tend to go with simple strut and spring combos. since Z's arent that popular locally with drifting its not often you see one...I looked in my picture database and didnt really see anything, sorry good luck

Well being lowered is somethign aside from drifting. So you're telling me few of the Z guys here have coilovers?

Those Z's you posted are friends of mine. They're actually brothers. The older brother (red Z) used to compete in D1. The younger brother I think just like turned 20 or about there. Very cool guys. My Z is quite low too (could still go about 3" lower or more in adjustment):

Coilovers work well and drop the Z32 just right. I'm such a fan of the slammed look. Although Z32's are also pretty low to begin with you know...Definitely cool pics though. Black Z32 ftw. I love that pic.

Funny how that;s the first question everyone asks when they see a lowered car. you drive sideways and carefully. it's not that hard.

Very carefully, I scrape frame on one of them which is the speedbump I measured my rideheight to. Got to make sure I can get home..haha. BTW, the Z is still for sale if you know anyone interested.

That would be from a company in Japan called MISSION. They make a lot of Z32 parts. The older brother (red Z32) was sponsored by them.

Aero is from Final Konnexion and it uses 350 bumper lenses. I converted mine to LED turn signals.
