From previous posts #385, bringing forward to discuss. I have about 170 miles on the springs now on day 6 and they have NOT settled anymore from when I had 75 miles on them. Still have 1.5 gap on three corners AND I also have the rear passenger side ON BOTH Z's at 1.75 gap. I see a pattern here with both of our 370Z's and others stating the same.

I cannot see mine dropping to what Baer383 has (above) at .75 gap on all four corners.

Can anyone confirm if they followed the same install "load the suspension when you tightened everything up" as Baer383 did? And actually what does he mean by loading up the suspension?

Is what Ron suggested (above) be our solution? I did not do my own install and my installer said he did not mess with the upper control arm bolts.

This still only addresses the the overall jacked up height on our cars BUT NOT the .25 higher gap on the rear passenger side.

Up for discussion.
