Cleaned up the Z after winter storage and thought I'd snap one.

Koni 4/4's, Strano springs and BMR 1" lowering a-arms, hose mod out back. I put a few thousand miles on this setup last year and loved every minute of it. The car is pretty low, but thankfully my long tubes have awesome ground clearance and don't scrape on anything. I haven't taken any decent pics of it with the current stance, I'll post better pics soon.

I had the camera with me yesterday, shitty looking day though.

I can't fit a finger between the front tire and fender. Out back I can fit two fingers, so it has a slight rake, but that's exactly how I want it to be.

At the time, I didn't mind the stock ride height.

I installed some Koni shocks, struts and Eibach Sportline springs on my '91 Trans Am GTA last weekend. I cut a quarter of the coils off of the fronts and a half coil from the rears. I really thought the car would have less tire to fender gap than this, but I'm actually ok with the way it sits now. When I have my custom GTA wheels made in sizes 19 x 9 and 19 x 11, I'll reassess my ride height and then go from there.

Not sure if I would have cut these. I had sportlines before and they take a little while to settle. You can probably expect anywhere from .25-.50 more drop coming your way.

You can get a manual valve setup with 4 switches for 1600$. I opted for something a little nicer with electric valves and autopilot v2 which has presets, gauges, rise on start all in a small controller.
