They just sit up there on some clips that keep them from sliding around. Once you got the spring out, you just pull the mount down. Well, that's how it is on the sedan.

I have the same problem! I'm wondering if the upper and lower rubber mounts are squished so the lowering springs do not sit correctly.

My rear sits pretty uneven. If I take 1/2" to 3/4" off the right side, would it be alright?

hey guys i own an 08 g35 sedan with tanabe df210 springs, the drop was pretty much the same in all 4 corners, however, i've recently done some audio work and now im slightly lower in the rear than my front. Can anything be done to drop the front end on the car a bit?

thanks
