Droopy Bum Fix for the G Sedan - Version 2.0
It's almost gotten me killed by my wife for spending so much time working on it! I'm just relieved I'm finally in a satisfied place with it now so I can get it aligned. Part of the reason I didn't want those rears too low is to make sure they can get the camber close enough to spec. It'll save me money in the long run to get it right, now.
Rear Springs
Hi guys. Just need a little advice from you young gear heads out there. Im 66 and have a 2008 G37 Journey coupe I bought in 2018. Clean with 95,000 miles. I’m getting rear sag with more on drivers side. I’m sure it has the stock springs/shocks. What would be the better way to raise the rear to stock height with the best results. I know there are many different options available. Thanks.
Something is wrong, and needs to be fixed. This isn't a situation where you need to change design by inventing parts, as people did in this thread to alter the design of parts with different design than stock, but the non stock design wasn't what they wanted. So they further altered the non stock design.
If you're all stock and now suddenly sagging, something broke and needs to be fixed.

jezdfax, if one rear corner is noticeably lower than the other, then something is broken, just like Car Analogy said. Get it up on a lift.
If it's just a little different, likely a rear shock has lost its gas charge. Easy to replace. Would not recommend adjustables or coilovers unless you can articulate a specific need for them.
If it's more, probably a bushing. Get her up on a lift and start wiggling/prying on stuff.
OEM springs (car springs in general) RARELY actually go bad, other than even sag over long, long periods of time. But rare ain't never.
