Thought I would throw up a pic of the Z. Nice day in Colorado so I took the wife out on a cruise then snapped some shots.

I recently bought an '04 Z and I think it has been lowered but the dealer didn't think so. Can you give me any insight on any ways I can check this out myself such as what the stock height should be or how I could tell if it had been "lowered on stock bolts" as you say yours is? Any help would be appreciated. I'm all ears waiting

PS: I like the lower look and feel. I just hate dragging the front air foil every time I go over a small dip...

Nice pic. and car.

Thanks for the kind words guys! I haven't taken any pictures of it in like two years, so it was fun to play around.

The tint is 30%. Any other time of the day and you can't see in. These shots were taken at 1:00pm with a blinding sun.
