I wonder what wheels you like :p . The both look great, but you have to drop the 8. Welcome to the boards.

I think you will like the HKS combo (Racing suction kit & Legamax). I have heard it a few times, and it sounds amazing.

Ha ha, yeah I really like the GT-7's. I want to drop it, but I'm concerned about clearance going up driveways, etc. Is yours dropped? If so, do you have any problems with clearance?

Thanks man, the wheels are 19'' 8.5 front & 19'' 9.5 rear. I can't remember the offset they used tho, I'll check and repost later...

For your coilovers, do you have any problems with clearance?

Those wheels look good on the 8, but they look perfect for your Z. Nice cars.

Really good looking!!! Get yourself some clear corners and and lower it a bit. Then it'll look even better :D

never had any issues. It's fully adjustable so you can always lower it or raise it to your preference.

Here's a link to my old thread when I first got the suspension installed:

Right now I drive the 8 the most since its new :-). I've had the Z for about a year, and actually insurance is very reasonable for both even for southern CA, but thats what happens when you get over 30, and no tickets. :-)
