What springs?

Just wondering what spring setup I should go with. Also going to add shocks. Not sure if I want to go with a whole coilover set up.

Planning on adding 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 as well so don't want the car to sit too low. Maybe drop it 1" Still trying to figure out what offset to go with on the wheels.

Still doing searches to find out some info.

Tein H-Tech's maybe? They give around .75 drop. Don't the Tein's for the Z give a 1" drop though?

.75 should be about perfect. Just need to figure out what offset to go with so I don't have any rubbing problems.

Thank you. Looking forward to coming to some events sometime in July.

Sounds good. Maybe someone with aftermarket wheels can give you some idea as far as offsets. Unfortunately i'm still running on stockers.

I thought the offset only refers to how wide your wheels (width of the rim's lip) go out toward or past the fender so all you should be worried about is what offsets won't stick out past the fender or am I missing something?

If I lower the car and have the wrong offset my tires could end up rubbing the fender when going around corners or hitting bumps. Think the most I can do with most wheels is around a 22 offset with lowering depending on the wheel.

Use to my old RX7 twin turbo. Had plenty of room to work with.
