Default SLP 1" drop springs

Got a few pics of the new springs on my car. Figured I'd post them up incase anyone is thinking of these springs. They are a great change from my Pro Kit - I don't have to worry about trashing my expensive exhaust anymore, can ride w/ a full car and not worry about dragging on anything, can take speedbumps without holding my breath or asking friends to get outa the car to lighten the load. Ride quality has gotten alittle better as well. Over all I'm very happy with them

Can you take some more pics in better lighting from the sides? I've been looking for a while for pics of a Z lowered an inch with the RS GFX kit. I'm debating on raising my car back up but am not sure what height I want it at. I'd really appreciate it.

Ok, as promised here are the pics ... it was really overcast here today so the lighting wasn't the greatest. And since my camera is MIA I had to take the pics w/ my new camera phone. Hope this gives yall a better idea of the drop

Default Ground Clearance

And here are the pictures showing the ground clearance of my custom catted Setup w/ the new springs!

I measured it to be ~4" at the lowest spot on the cats. Which is phenomonal compared to my prokit/duals

Awesome pics! If I were to go with lowering springs, then the SLP Eibachs would be at the top of my list.

I would like to lower about 1" and not have a too harsh of a ride. My shocks will be Konis SAs. What are some good options. I was going to get the LS1 Eibach pro-kit. 400lbs up front is not bad IMO. I loved my 360lbs 1LE fronts. Although they didn't also lower so more spring travel. Recommend me something for a daily. Thanks.
