dang it!
You're probably right. I was just hoping for some magic elixer to do this.

Is there a compromised solution? Maybe lowering it .5in or 11mm that would preserve the way it handles but keep it from bottoming out?

I used to have a 2010 370z coupe and had it 6 months before I put einback springs in it, however on a few occasions, just with a passenger in the car and normal road undulations when traveling over 60mph, it would do the bottoming out. Removed the springs, aligned it back and the problem went away. This time I've gone to great lengths to get better wheels, tires, exhaust, etc, and I'm faced again with that gap on the fender I visually loathe so much.

Maybe a compromise, what can be done with just lowering it just over 1cm and not bottom out, but also not be as stiff a ride as a nismo?

I know I ask in a complicated way, but there must be a way to lower it 11mm without incurring other compromises.
