Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Coilover ride height changed after new rear subframe??

Hello all, I just recently had some warranty work done to my Z lowered on BC BR coilovers at the dealership to replace the problematic rear subframe mounted differential bushing which has been broken and leaking after only 19000 miles. In order to replace this bushing the entire rear sbframe it is mounted in needs to be replaced. I recieved my car back from the dealer yesterday and noticed the rear ride height is now at least an inch higher than before?? I have no idea why this has occurred as the coilover settings were not changed, and the new rear subframe is a direct replacement. I have jacked the car up and verified that everything looks to be installed correctly. Any ideas?
