Or as an alternative, can you post up measurements or a schematic and then it would be easy for people to go to a local machine shop and have a set made?

Well, I found a local machine shop, took some measurements, generated a CAD file and I'm about to have a set made for myself. If anyone else wants some spacers, let me know what thickness and I'll let you know the cost and get them done for you along with my pair.

The spacers will be pretty close in design to the ones in this thread, but not identical. they will look like the attached model.

All done here. If anyone wants to have their local machine shop make a set, PM me for the DXF CAD file and I'll gladly send it to you.

Would you need longer strut top mount bolts to account for that additional 1/4" spacer?

I did an inch thick spacer and with that I did need longer bolts.

Cool, did you just find similar thread/pitch bolts at like Ace Hardware or....?

Great job on this mod and I agree that a mild drop on our cars looks the best! I believe the mild drop with proper tires + wheels suits our cars best, but I also understand everyone has their own tastes, so to each their own

Alternatively, if you can find pre-2015 red nismo 370z springs, they will drop the front by 0.75" and you don't need to use spacers. You may have seen my journey with these if you look at my threads (I did the nismo 370z rear springs too). I'm still riding on this setup and it's fantastic the way it turned out. The rears are a bit stiffer than the stock Sport springs and I love how the setup handles along with Eibach sways. In hindsight, it may have been better to just cut the rear spring perch and stick with Sport springs to drop it about 0.25 - 0.3" because the rear sags SLIGHTLY compared to the fronts with my setup, but it's only noticeable if you're really looking for it. But I do enjoy the higher spring rate in the rear.
