nice!

I am still loving mine. Haven't gotten the alignment done yet...will probably wait until after my wife and I buy our house next month haha. Hopefully it isn't too badly out of spec.

Are these rwd only? Haven't decided if I want to go full coilovers or just springs...your drop is exactly the height I'm looking for.

I mounted Michelin PSS on the rear wheels this weekend and finally got my alignment done.

Toe wasn't too out of wack from lowering it. They were able to dial in the tow just fine, and get the camber to -1.4 f -1.7 r, which I am fine with.

Nice! Wish I was able to find a set of PSS for my 19's. Oh well.

I love these tires so far. I was always too cheap to get PS2s for my Z, since those big ole tires were pricey already...

Is this your daily driver? Surprise it took you almost half a year to get an alignment. If so how was your tires after driving around with no alignment for 6 months? Toe can really screw up tires fast when out of spec.

Those duck feet wheels actually look better when the car is lowered. Looking good. What's next?

It is my daily. I put more than 6000 miles on it before the alignment. I meant to get it to the shop the weekend after my install, but busy life was a little busier with buying a house and getting a puppy first of the year haha. I have no doubt the toe expedited wear a little bit, but probably not drastically based on my before specs. Let's just say I am hoping to get more than 18K out of the Michelins!

Thanks, I want new wheels a little less after the drop. I plan to enjoy it as is for as long as possible haha - doing a lot better resisting the mod bug than with my Z.

I agree it looks a lot better lowered with the OEM wheels. When you are ready for new wheels let me know.

These tires track the grooves A LOT on the interstate. No one near as smooth as I expected.
