Droping the Z
Ive tried time and time again to figure out a way to drop the z31 without having to have to spend big bucks for someone to do it. Anyone have any suggestions. I would try it myself but suspension is not my specialty. ANY help is good help. ThanX

you can do all the work its quite easy
buy all your parts from were ever . like i would buy them from msa as a mmber of zextreme we get a nice discount. and the take a trip to you local habor fraight and buy 1 or 2 sets of spring compresors and jump right in to it when you do your first set of springs it will take about 1 hour per sring set up by the last one it will only take you 30 min. thats how easy it is evan the urathan bushing set is totaly easy. just take your time and if any one has any ? on how to do somthing if you get stuk then email me or post on this forme.i am always on.
or you can just wip out a cut of tool and chop of your springs at a desirabel hight wich ever way you wana do it.

hmmm i was looking at www.shox.com and thinking maybe ... B&G Springs (1.6drop) with non adjustable Blitzen shocks...
I heard that cutting your springs screws up everything...not true?

well that depends on how much? and what your trying to acomplish? and if after cutting them if you heat treat them.any ways the best way is to buy a aftermarket set up becuez you never get all 4 spring cut right so the best way is the after market way. But of corse there is that thing called cash,the all mighty dollar,thing that we trust more then god,green backs,cold hard cash.

hey rob, do your self a favor and do it yourself. I have the B+G springs and they make a big difference in handling I like mine a lot. the car sits with about 1/2 inch all of the way around the wheel well. In my opinion, it sits about as close to perfect as you can get. the rear camber is a bit off, when it snows in michigan here it amkes a huge difference in grip, and i can hardly take off at all. I know that you live in Cali, and snow isn't a problem, but if you don't plan on doing any drifting at all, get the camber kit. If you do, stay away from the rear camber kit.
