its the wheels...

 

L.........M..........A........O



Some people just don't seem to get it.

 

They'll probably settle after you drive it a few miles. Does H&R offer any information about how much lower your G35 will sit with their springs installed? Tein does and they're pretty accurate.
The terminology slammed doesn't apply to springs but does it apply to drivable? If SLICK was on coilovers and any lower I couldn't get up my driveway and into my garage. Those are major considerations when lowering your ride....

Front 1.1" drop/ Rear 1" drop.
The body shop said they even called H&R and checked the part numbers and everything matches what it should be but H&R told them they have been having problems with too much drop instead of not enough. So idk wtf is going on lol. Its a guy from Lingenfelter that is installing them so I dont imagine he is doin it wrong.

 

I have the HR Sport with D-Spec shock combo... mine didn't require any settling. Something definitely looks way off.

Here's mine after only about 4 hours of the install:



These springs give a perfect drop, as long as you're not trying to be slammed, and the ride is still great.

 

WTF! Thats AFTER the install?? Something is definitely wrong there.

See if you can get some pics of the install.

 

First of all in that pic^^ it doesn't look like the back end is sitting completely on the ground, the tire doesn't seem compressed enough.

Second make sure the shop seated the rubber piece/spring properly in the bottom of the spring bucket and the same for the spring mount up top on the rear wheels. If the springs aren't lined up properly with the grooves it could cause the car to sit too high, and would be dangerous for driving.

 

Exactly, that's why I asked the OP for pics of the install but it doesn't seem like he cares to get them.... w/e I guess, not my car/life.

 

Its the weekend lol the shop is closed. Believe me I am chomping at the bit to try and get in there and take pics and overlook things.

I noticed the same thing that it looked like the car wasnt sitting flat like there is a jack behind where u cant see or something. I swear thats what it looks like.

 

ahh ic, wait why do they still have your car?

 

Had to order new sleeves for the front control arms. Damaged the stock ones when they pulled them off the old ones

 

Raised the car after putting lowering springs on... damaged control arms during uninstall... Id go elsewhere... sounds like they dont have a clue as to what theyre doing

Ive installed my fair share of coilovers, springs, shocks, and struts and it should take about 2 hours TOPS if you know what youre doing, not 2+ days

And anyone who's done suspension, or even just jacked up a car, knows that unless you move the car after putting it back on the ground, its gonna sit higher.

 

It was just those little rubber pieces that u have to switch over to the spc's. It was 11bucks so no biggy. And they have had my car awhile cuz I got rear ended and they are fixing it as well. And installing my other body pieces. Should get it back today tho. Will post pics after I drive it awhile and hopefully it settles

 

my car needed no settling after installing new springs. and def didnt look or get raised after either

 

Ok so the moral of this story is to not jump to conclusions. The car settled after a few test drives while aligning it. So if any other noob runs into this hopefully this thread will help.
