Thanks for the table, I remember that. Unfortunately, it measures fender to tire or fender to floor, not floor to ground. So, the droop maybe be purely a visual manifestation of the body design, as in rear fender arches are lower than the front.

Lego_Maniac, any chance I could get you to lift up the rear of the car and take a picture of how accessible the adjuster is? I watched the video on Koni site about how to adjust them, just want to see how accessible is the adjuster window.

BTW, this "droopy butt" will not be an issue with aftermarket dampers on G37 sedan, since the height is controlled by the spring which is mounted independently of the shock.

It is indeed an issue as aftermarket springs often have a shorter free height than stock.

Agreed, the shorter springs actually exaggerate the look.

I'm keeping stock springs though, so ride height should not change.
