Post the pics, and tell what springs you used. Also what other things did you use to make it work, and any problems you had/have. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I have the SLP Level 1 kit, which included SLP Eibach springs, SLP Bilstein shocks, 1LE LCA's, PHB and 32mm front sway bar. I am very happy with it. This is how much it dropped the car (I also changed wheels and tires but the diameter is the same)

Wow, I like em all. I like the look on the sport lines on the black SS but I think its too low for my drive way. For the red t/a and the pewter Z, I think thats more for my driving style and my drive way. I want to get the sport lines but with the way things are just laying on the freeways here in Houston im too scared that something would take a chunk out of my bumper. Again for the red t/a I had not idea that droping the car 1" and adding an inch to your tires could make such a drastic change. I like all the cars <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> . What other parts did you have to use for everything to work together.

Here is a pic of my car with G2 Super Springs and stock shocks. I plan on getting the SLP Bilsteins soon, the ride can get a little bouncy at times but handles twice as well as before.

This is the best pic of my lowered Z. I have recently taken off the GFX and replaced the 3pc. spoiler with a real SS spoiler. I have the Eibach Pro-kit with stock springs, Granatelli PHR and BMR LCAs. I haven't had ANY problems. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I wish I could post a pic for you... I can email them though if you let me know what your email is...

I have the sportlines on my LE, and am LOVING them. All the other springs are still just TOO high, IMHO. Anyone who says the sportlines are too low.. I don't know what they are talking about!! Yes, I take it a bit slower over speed bumps, and am careful when I drive, but I don't scrape, and haven't bottomed out... my 18's don't rub at all, and I love the way they look.

my vote is for Sportlines.

Jon
