tried out the fumoto valve, installed and tested...i bought the model with the extra nipple to attach a hose, but after install it seemed it would hang dangerously low, so i cut off all the extra nipple pipe. the valve works beautifully tho

I so want these but the rear on a 350z is very tight for a spring on the strut.

^He just has them on the front. The rear would require custom fabrication and other aftermarket parts. The front is sufficient for the majority of folks looking to do this mod, just need to lift the front to get over a speed bump or to clear a nasty driveway.

Oh wait, that's almost as much trouble as doing it electronically

Still want pics. Dimensions of the cup too! Maybe pics of the inside of the cup so i know how the cup would seat the spring.
I bought the BR rear narrow springs with supplemental mounts with them. Would just have to make the cup fit. Worried about cup diameter and height though.
Seems like the vendors for the cups are very hush hush on the details.

you can't use the normal springs that come w/the BC's, they had to switch them to Swift springs for the retrofit(for fitment issues, from what i understand). "you" can't make anything fit, they only retrofit their kits in-house to coilovers you send in or order through them.

I wanted my Tanabe exhaust to sit a bit higher because the rear muffler hangs pretty low. We cut 3/4" off the two hangars on top of the muffler. The tip barely rest up against the Nismo rear now (will pick up some heat tape to put between tip and lip, thanks for the suggestion Chris - g35papa!).
