Nobody has run into any problems still, right? Been wanting to do this for a while but wasn't sure.

We've been doing this mod for years, with no problems.

stech goes lower. I've seen a lot of people do the mod on 350z stech, but so much on the g35 stech.

Alright so I am considering this mod.

In the front I measure from the wheels to the top of the fender, the front is about even 2 ft 2 inches from the ground.

but the passenger rear is about 2 ft 3 inches, so its about an inch different from the front, and the driver rear is about 2 ft 3 1/4 inches so its about 1 inch and a 1/4

I am guessing the passenger side is because I always keep a full gas tank in it...

Should I cut about an inch? or 3/4? i donno...

Yeah?

Should I do 1/2" and 3/4" to even out the rear?

I tink that sounds good, because when people sit in the back it should be dead even in frt/rear I believe...

any toughts?

^give yourself 1/4" padding. So if you measured that you need 3/4" drop then cut 1/2".

Anyone know of a good place to have this done in the 818/626?
Or better yet willing to help me?
I prefer to do most of my own work on my ride but I don't have any of the tools req.
The vice would be the real pain to get.
The underground parking in my apt doesn't have the best light either.
