Pics of the new drop
I figured id post up a couple pics of the car now that i dropped the rear of the car on saturday.At first i only did the fronts and the car sat pretty nice but too high in the rear for me so i threw the rear springs in and im really pleased with the overall stance.Little high in the front but i think im going to cut a coil to get it a little lower...time to start saving for co's

I wouldn't cut any coils off either. Just chill with your setup now, get COs then sell it assembled, it'll move pretty quick for the convenience and u should be able to recoup half, if not more of the cost of the COs depending on brand and what not.

if you see how i sit on my car on coilovers...i rub like a ***** because of the tab in the rear...before you put on the spacers outback (i had 5mm on the passenger side rear and rubbed on a pebble) cut/bend back that tab, then put on the spacer

The 18s you have are 8" all the way around. The G35 19s are staggered. As are the Z anniversary and track editions.

If not, this would have prevented some of this.
I am riding on KYB GR2's with Maxspeed springs. Front springs have 1/2 ring cut off. Which means I am riding even lower than you. I do not bottom out at all.
Yes, I cut my springs and am fine with it.

Did you trim your bumpstops?

My mechanic told me i didn't have too and i figured thats why it was bottoming out over big bumps.You know where i can get a pic of a bumpstop and how much to trim off ?

Im gonna take em out saturday and trim them.He said only the 5th gens not the 5.5's had to be trimmed...I guess he was wrong 
This time it's gonna be a freebie.Do you need to trim the rears as well they seem fine it's just the fronts that bottom out.
