Do you have any pictures of the rear now? I want it almost 1/2 inch more, because now my front looks high. Before it was perfect for me.

Triple checked our original install, and everything was installed correctly. We went through and retightened everything, but nothing was loose.

Ben, how is the BBK?

How come we didnt get this circled piece with our kits? That might help.



That will also help me raise the car a bit, because the rubber piece on the bottom is so thin, these springs are meant to be put on this, not the stock rubber piece I think.

And they look like they would fit fine if you look in this picture, they are not flat on the bottom, they are shaped just like the rubber piece.

they do look cylindrical, maybe thats why... but the bottom rubber piece is so thin, the highest setting on these coilover's is still too low I feel like on the rears.

The rear perches on the 350Z look identical to the G37, so I wonder if this would help stablize the rear spring? In fact, the rear suspension components on the G37 are nearly identical to the 350z/G35. Looks like it would add some needed stability to the top spring location.

Will you guys contact BC Racing to check on this?

Where is Pete? I don't have his contact information and he hasn't replied to my PM either.

Now my rear is so low that you can pretty much only see the top of my rim.
