anyone that's lowered...i need help plz..
 

i tried the search button, but couldn't find what i was looking for. i looked in the brake and suspension, but no help either. well, i dropped the front driver side on 350z s-tech, but doesn't seem to be low at all. looks like it dropped a little over 1/2 inch only and i know it's suppose to drop lower than that. before the drop, i had a three finger gap. after the drop, i had a two finger gap. this can't be right, right? i followed the d.i.y on here and everything went smoothly except it wasn't as low as i expected. i did notice that on the chart that came with the s-tech, it says for the g35 you have to cut the rubber bump stop(i believe 1.2" or something like that). the d.i.y doesn't mention anything about cutting the bump stop. am i suppose to cut it? i didn't want to cut it and find out later that i'm not suppose to. do i have to change the other front passenger first to get the right drop? i wanted to make sure first before i do anything to the other side. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

EDIT: installed all four springs and here's the picture of the before and after. not the best shots, but hope this will do.

i think it's a decent drop. it's not too low so i don't scrape everywhere i go and it looks nice too.

You should try putting both springs on the front and rear (all four)... not just the front passenger... It might go lower that way and it might settle a little after a while. the bump stop is in the front underneath the bumper and im lowered more than your s-techs will go and i didnt touch it.

thanks, i'll try that and see if it helps.

it takes a few weeks for the springs to settle..and im assuming you didnt drive around with only the front passenger dropped?

finish installing the rest of them and let the springs settle. im sure it'll get lower than 1/2"

my drop on the front with Z s-techs. gaps looks huge but it obviously looks much lower from when you're standing.

thanks for the picture. installed all four and drove it around the block a few times. now it's a lot lower now. seems like the front passenger is a little bit lower than the front driver and the back driver is a little bit lower than the back passenger. hopefully it'll even out. i think my gap looks like yours too, but it's dark so i'll check it again tomorrow. i'll try to take some shots tomorrow and post it up. thanks again.

no i didn't drive around with just one side dropped. i installed it, then dropped the car down and it just didn't look dropped so i was just kind of worried. it looks much better now, with all four installed.

thanks for all your help guys.

im glad i didnt get s techs... i would have been unhappy with that wheel gap.
