Nope not those. I had a rubber one on the bottom that held the springs. (Could it possibly just have been used for the Tein S-Techs that I had?)

Yes that sleeve is perfectly fine it actually secures the spring in place. When i spoke with BC they told me i would be able to go mad low with these springs but they are back ordered so i can always change springs at any time. I aside from 12/10k springs i also have gone with shorter cartridges which will drop the rear and front down a little more.

Edit. The rubber part in the bucket. It should be a piece about 1 in thick in the bucket.

When you did the widebody, did you keep the same fender height and follow the contour?

Looks off for some reason.

Needs another 2" of low

thats a known problem.
I have no idea whats causing it.
My rear pax side always set almost an inch higher then driver rear.
350z springs/ eibach prokit/ bc coilovers. Bc sent me 2nd set of shorter rear struts and springs. and still passenger rear sits noticably higher.
My passenger rear keeps rubbing the fender with tire. when my driver side tucks lip. since its not the same low throws the camber off too. And good amount of difference.
Only thing I havent done yet is throw on my Camber kit yet. I wonder if I put on my camber kit and add more camber would it help with low.
even the shorter struts, BC sent me are maxed out. I had to max out the strut then adjust my springs for height so they'll be snug.
pretty annoying.

That's what I was thinking Blain. That the fenders are not the same height. Either due to the fender work or even the fronts being uneven. Think of it as a table, if one leg is shorter than the other, it will affect the rest. The amount just depends on how off it is.

yeah it's all the same. 1" metal welded with the rear bumper widened as well. i think it's the camber issue. the driver side seems to have cambered in more than the passenger. and it looks like the passenger side sits higher (which explains less camber). I'm trying to figure out why the drop is uneven.

The rear wheels are the same.

ccw lm20 18x13 -6
with 295/35/18. But the tires are not the same. The driver side is a Nitto Invo and passenger is Toyo Proxes T1R.

2 inches lower and I won't get anywhere.

At the current height, I'm ruining my mudguards and my entire exhaust. The exhaust and everything in the center of the car is lower than this. 2" lower wouldn't be drivable lol.

Even if the widebody was off, the passenger side is still sitting a good half inch or 3/4 inch higher than my driver side. I think if it was dropped another 3/4 inch on the passenger, that wheel will camber in just as much as the driver side, and tuck properly. And they will match.

yeah i know about your car lol. one of the few G35s that ran CCW.

I wish my rears could go that low. I'm trying to figure it all out but it's possibly because of the 10kg rear spring?

My main concern at the moment is getting the ride even.

The picture might look off (pic with the left and right comparo) because the camera was outward more ont the passenger side)

I'm gonna try and work on it today starting with the front passenger. I'll max it out on its last few threads and see how much it affects the rear.

Then I'll do the rears and see whats off.

@Marcus. I wish I could. But the fronts are maxed out

Swap out the 12kg/10kg for 10kg/8kg?

No the spring rates aren't affecting the height. I had 10ks in mine and I had planned to swap to a 15k before I decided to go air.

What coils are you running?
