07 Coupe

My car leans to the left(driver side) entire side is about .5 inch lower on that side. I changed out the springs a few days ago. Put in the 350z springs and still leans. I plan to switch out the struts/shocks as well. Will this even it out a bit. I know since 99% of the time we drive alone, the car will lean. Thanks

The car leans due to the weight of the driver over time on 1 side of the suspension. The only way to even it out is to cut the spring mounts. It is the rubber piece that sits on top of the rear springs when you put them in. You basically take a hacksaw and cut the one side however much it takes to even out the stance. Just don't cut too much because then your car will lean the other way :-/

I thought of doing that but what about the front passenger side. Will it lower a bit also?

No...they are 4 independent corners. Cutting the rear won't lower the front at all. But I would measure twice and cut once. Use tape as a guide and get some PB Blaster to spray on the mount to make the cutting a little easier. The silicone can be kind of a pain to cut and cut straight so take your time.

Unfortunately you kinda just have to deal with it, or else get coilovers to set them independently exactly how you would like them.
