Sounds excellent Ian, I can hardly wait to see it in person.

My X is going to look sooo high when parked beside yours.

There's a member on here (from Japan) who changed his front springs but left the rears stock and he ended up going another route. He said the front end was way to heavy with the front only drop and that the car handled terribly.

I'm super interested in your results, cause I'm not unhappy with the rear height.
I just want some of the front gap gone, without losing any handling performance.

^ the other factor with that....
All aftermarket springs that I know of, are progressive springs.
They wouldn't work well at all with OE rears.

OE & 370Z springs are linear.
It's not a good idea to mix & match linear & progressive.

Unless they're springs from coilovers, no?

Yes, most COs are linear.
Not sure what you mean though...
You wouldn't put a CO on the front only.
