Calling all "X's" with a lowered suspension!

This looks very doable for a daily driver and almost perfect for me. I am a bit of a novice, so forgive me if my questions are rudimentary. Your only mod was to put coupe springs (what year if it matters) on the front? Have you had any rubbing or cv boot problems? Thanks in advance for your time answering.

I got my air diversion panel off ebay. A guy was getting rid of new jdm parts, so I was lucky to snag it up. There's a few here and there still. Good luck finding one
Think you can polish it too, according to a friend of mine.

I bought the kit from Tunerz_Store used, but he might be able to get the conversion for you. According to him you cant go really low unless you buy a different shock to go there. But I am not going that low anymore so I am not that worried. But omg raising and lowering is SOO much easier now. LOL

I have 350Z unrevised springs on my car, which is a 04 g35x. To begin with I had put on the springs in the front 1st and was on frame angle for at least a month. A week before I put on the rears I noticed a clunking noise on the drivers side & then a tear on the passenger front cv boot. I am installing the boot tommorrow as well as HFC. So I'm just hoping it only tore becuz I was on a frame angle. Can anyone lemme know that that was the only issue? I'm hoping it is before I get this installed tommorrow

you can save a axle if the boot is freshly torn. But once a axle makes a noise it might need to be rebuilt if contamination gets in there.
Having your car angled one way or the other doesn't mean you tear boots, foeign items can hit your boot at any given time, you can hit a pot hole and forced the boot to rip. Or you could of done with during the install, if i wasn't paying attention.
If you know for a fact that boot was good when you installed the springs then i would just reboot the axle now and call it good. 1 month is not enough time for the grease leave the axle and expose itself. People normally drive 5 months-years before axle make noises. Do it NOW because a $20-50 boot kit is a LOT cheaper then $500 nissan wants for these axles.

I have a question to ask suspension guru...
Right now my car is sitting at 26" in the rear from ground to fender. Took it to the alignment shop 'cause i put the stocker with snow tires back on. The tech guy said he cant get my camber lower 'cause my car is too low even though i have SPL camber link. So right now it sits at -3 on the left and -5 in the rear. I do have SPC toe bolts that i havent install yet. Do i need to install the toe bolts in order to get my camber back to stock or close to stock?
