How low is too low? For you guys with lowered cars, whats a good ride hight from the ground to the bottom of your car? Do you have to roll over RR Tracks? Next Q: What is a good suspension rate, I want something not to hard on the ass but still give me good performance on the weekends when racing/drifting. I read that 8k/6k was decent ride quality, W/O sacrificing performance to bad. Next Q: Since alot of people are swapping brakes to the Z32 setup, couldnt you just go to a website like tirerack.com and look at the wheels that they have avalible for the 300Z's and use them on 240s? Are there anyfitment issues with that? I think it would be a good idea otherwise? Another thought was getting 17x8 wheels without staggering them. Any problems with that setup like performace issues? I just want to be able to swap the f/r wheels out without it being a pain in the A$$. Any thoughts about the above would be greatly appreciated.

how low is too low
depends on how you tune everything with it. cant just slam it and expect greeat handling.

8/6 is good for streets usually.

wheels yeah you could do that that's ok too.
i would go 17x9 but 17x8 is ok too, of course.

all same all around is good for what you want, i do almost same..but diffrent tire size front/rear due to clearance/setup

so Dousan you are suggesting that that setup would be good with a larger tire in the rear and a lower profile in the front?

no that's just my setup: high caster rubs fronts of wheel well.

it really depends on your car and how YOU set it up. so could go either way. i would prefer same tire size all around due ot daily driven and tire cost
