Message I'll be getting basically a full twinz body kit(rear bumper, kaminary side skirts with twinz side lips) but the the front bumper will be a jdm with twin z lip also, now my z has oz mitto 17 wheels and is stock. I'm considering lowering the car but I don't want to go much as I'm not a fan of slammed cars, was thinking maybe 1.5", just want to do it tastefully for me.
A question I have since I'm not a suspension expert, what is the lowest I can go with out starting to eat the tires, I don't want to spend a ton of $ on lowering the car since I'm just interested in looks for my na, not track or anything, just a weekend or every day use car. I was thinking the lowest I would like to go is between 1.5" to 2" the most, can I achieve this just by replacing shocks and springs, if so what would be a good combo?
My biggest fear is tire wear, is this a problem if I go that low or should I stay stock instead?
Tire wear is allays going to happen no matter how stock I stay?
I know I will get tire wear stock, I'm talking out of the ordinary tire wear, don't want to be replacing tires to often, would like to replace tires as normal as possible.

I ask because back in the 90's I had a jetta that I lowered (can't remember by how much)and my tires were bold withing 9k miles.
I might go 18's in the near future I hope and keep the 17's for my other z, might be lowering that also as both are stock.

Thanks in advance for any help.

BTW, would be nice if u guys can post a pic of your Z with what u have and how low it is so I can have idea how it looks.
