I was thinking about lowering my Z but was worried how it would look and ride when it was loaded up for a trip with wife and her heavy suitcases. In your photo obviously the car is empty- what does it look like with 2 people, full tank of gas and some luggage?

I have no idea about 2 people and luggage. Although I do have a full tank of gas, 2 big amps, 12 inch sub, 2 flashlights, 25 cds and a mini air compressor with a plug kit in there in the pic. If it sits lower with 2 people I never noticed. When ever it stops raining here I will try to take another pic with 2 people and some weight in the trunk.

Looks friggin' great! If you are into road racing or AutoX you probably want to look into getting it corner weighted.
