Help: G35c Back is higher when Lowered on 350z OEM revised Springs

I have an 06 G35 coupe 6mt and wanted to lower my car only
a little bit. Well Installed the fronts and they turned out wonderful.
Dropping more than .5 inch and you can tell there was a difference.
But the back of my car seems to have risen slightly. Anyone else
experience this. AND Im having problems with the front right spring.

There seems to be this clicking noise when I run over uneven pavement.
Can someone help me out please with what might be wrong?

check to see that the rear springs are seated all the way. Also allow them some travel time to settle down.

The front clicking noise may be loosened strut nuts. Look under the hood at the three nuts holding the struts in place and make sure they are tight and make sure the center nut is tight that holds the shock to the mount. Mine was a little loose after installing my shocks and made a noise.

If those nuts are tight, check the nuts on the a arm and any other nuts you may have loosened.

we installed a set of 350z revised springs on a friends 05 g. the front lowered great and the rear stayed the same. the reason for this is because teh 350z springs and the g35 rear springs on teh 05 and 06 are the exact same height. when you put the two next to each other you can see that they are the exact same.

your rear may appear to be higher like his did but its not. the reason it looks higher is because of the rake that your car has now, since the front is lower.
