Default Dropped my Z

.....and about time too, lol. Dropped it 1.75" front and rear and put on some KYB AGX adjustables, UMI on-car adjustable PHB, LCA's, and relocation brackets. Measures 26.25" to the top of the front fenders and 27" for the rears.

I love how this thing handles now, not to mention it looks a lot better. Also, no the 315's in the rear don't rub.....at all

Anyway, here's some pics:

Looks great! You are the only other person I have seen, besides myself, running the '69 badge on that area of the grill and those wheels. The only thing I don't like is the fact that you have the wider fitment in the rear and I don't! haha

Again.. looks great!

Very nice!

The only thing I don't like is those little circle reflectors in the front DRLs. They are pointless IMO. Maybe consider putting some tint over them or something (I put some vinyl tint from ebay on my side markers and I think it improved the look)

Stock, I know I'll get some crap for it but I just trimmed them after seeing Josh99TA's thread. Figured I'd try it out since my truck has trimmed v6 springs on it, and I really like the ride. With the AGX's I can adjust the firmness and it handles great. Cut 1.25 coils up front and 1 in the rear with the hose mod.

Same here; they've bothered me since I've gotten them. One day I'll probably cut them apart and take the reflectors out but just haven't got to it yet. Being a little white circle in the middle of a black housing looks stupid IMO but they're the only ones I could find at the time.

Not usually a fan of TTM's but your car pulls them off nicely

Measurements to the top of the front fenders is 26.25" and 27" at the rear. I don't have any measurements from under the car but its not bad at all.

I've only scraped the exhaust once; of course I'm used to driving my truck that is slammed and sits 3.5" off the ground, so this thing still feels like I have 4wd type clearance
