Damnit... I did the same mistake...

I lowered my sedan on G35 Tein H-tech's and guess what? They're uneven (Just like I read b4 i installed them).... The front sits lower than the rear... so it looks like a "funny car" ready for it's 7-second 1/4 mile.... Anyway... I don't have the sport suspension... car has 50k miles and I hear i can get the Tokico HP shocks and purchase a set of Tein G35 S-tech's to lower the rear... What do y'all think? I'm trying to keep cost to a minimal since I already made a mistake... Holla!

No, they are Hotchkiss 350z springs, the complete front and rear set.

Modifying the rear spring mount will allow the rear to sit a tad bit lower...

A spring mount mod will give you about 1/4" more drop in the rear. Not worth the effort in my opinion..I've done it before on a friends coupe.

what all is involved?... does it negatively affect ride quality? Eibach Pros leave the rear a bit high - I've been contemplating different springs (or possibly coil overs) - but if the mod you reference doesn’t hurt suspension function I might try it.

Sedan S-Techs drop the front 1.97 in, rear 1.26 while H-Techs drop the front 1.38, rear 0.67...

Technically, the difference between the front and rear are about the same, only the H-Techs won't drop the car as much.

IMO, with the rear fenders on most cars sitting lower than the fronts, a demon drop looks better anyways...
