GTI is stock so we'll use my Z for reference.

Forgestar F14
18x9+20 265/35/18
18x11+23 295/35/18
My current set up
Sportline TE.6
19x9.5+22 265/30/19
19x10.5+22 305/30/19
I like lowered cars but Hellaflush on a sportscar means its an oxymoron. It can't perform the things that it was purposely built for.

To bring some flavor into this...
Lol... this car or a similar one (can't remember it's color) is here in my town. I've seen it driving home from work three times... I'm always blown away that someone jacked up their Rabbit. Dat front wheel drive setup is the best for offroading. At least lift an R haha.
Personally, I think slammed cars are pretty cool looking. I hate stretched tires and "tire poke" but a nice drastic lowering with appropriate wheels is cool in my book. I would NEVER do it though, I like my stock suspension. My Civic was lowered too much and it was obnoxious. Looked awesome though.

Open your closed mind. Much easier to make judgement based on opinion rather than research.

I've done the research. Still don't like the stretched tires and laying frame when a tiny bump in the road presents itself. Airbags are a nightmare for the 350Z. There are plenty of member journals to attest to that on my350z.

I'm currently rocking the stock suspension and I don't think it looks bad at all. I'm tossing around the idea of some DG springs to bring it down a bit, but still keep the function. I had a Miata that was lowered on some H&R springs, but that was purpose built for auto-x. It handled most roads pretty well, but on crappy roads it definitely got uncomfortable. BTW I'm 27, but I've abused my body too much and I've got a bad knee with arthritis and all kinds of other aches and pains, and that combined with being 6'2", doesn't make it easy to get into a slammed vehicle. Plus that's just not my style...

Agreed. I think a WRC car in Monte Carlo setup is the best look a car could ever get.

This happened to me last week. Went in to get an alignment and they said I was too low to get onto the alignment machine. Haha.

I'm 25 and age has nothing to do with it.
I'm done with lowering my cars to the point where I can't enjoy them. Right now I'm stock height, but a few years from now I wouldn't mind a nice coilover setup. Can't go too low because it's a hassle and as others have said you just won't be able to enjoy the car due to pot holes / steep driveways.
Here's my old AP2 in the middle (next to the Elise) on coilovers. THAT was too low.
