opinion on spring mount mod.

Okay so I read through the spring mount mod thread.. and most everyone who did it had H-techs and did it because their front end lowered more than their rear.

https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-...mount-mod.html

Well my question to you is this. Looks like my drop is pretty even from what I can tell atleast. I have 350z S-techs on my sedan. I want lower!

Just wanted your opinions on this since you can ONLY do the rears. do you think it will look funny if the rear is a little bit lower. Will it make the car look lower as a whole?

Just debating if I should do this or not or if it will look funky..

it can only be done on the rear because in the fronts the springs sit on top of the shock, and there is no rubber mount to cut.

imo, if your drop is even, leave it alone.

Well My toe is way out of spec since my camber kit got installed.. So I am getting toe bolts installed this week... If I go coilovers though then I would need more than a toe bolt huh more like toe arms..

Also while I have a pic of my ride up what size spacers you think I should throw on for the front tires there pushed in a bit.

It's really hard to tell man lol. Know the offset on the wheels? I'm guessing around 15-20mm

Your wheels are Touring 18" v.2

Front
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 24.4

Rear
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 25.8
Tire: 245/45/18

Sedan offsets are what? +45mm?

Not very familiar with sedan aggressive or flush offsets but I'd go 10-15 mm

Maybe a sedan member can chime in. Sorry
