DIY: Cutting Rear Springmount aka "the springmount mod"
if you're really worried about tire wear, go to firestone and signup for their lifetime alignment deal. that way you can get an alignment now and another one once your springs have settled.

Add me to one of modified rear spring mount guys. Did this along with Eibach/SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts last night. I cut a 1/2" off the left side and a little more on the passenger side to even out the drop side to side and front to back. Perfectly satisfied with the drop of my Z Htechs now.

I measured all four corners and that gave me a good baseline prior to cutting. The front is 1/4" lower than the rear; aesthetically, it looks good. I"ll post pics later. Thanks for the DIY.

maybe it was some uneducated service guy (looked liked it), but he said straight awaythat they don't do my car. now i have to go to infiniti to get robbed and get a fvcking alignment.
is our staggered setup so rare or wtf is it?

^^The G is not an easy car to align from what I've been told. You just have to find a shop that knows what they're doing. It took my guy about 45 minutes to do the alignment after I did the mod.
