so back to my question OP, did the swift springs come with instructions on what to do with the bumpstop? also, coilovers do not have to be stiff, you just need to find the right spring rates to start with and adjustable dampers.

for this car i think i'd look for something aroung 8-9kg to start with (425-500lbs/in) for street use.
Well it seems to me that is is normal for the Nismo 370Z. The fronts sit a little higher than the regular Z. So my hope is the 1.25" drop will even it out. If you look at the RED NISMO you can see the front sits a little higher. I am worried about that. I wonder if the regular shocks will do the same? I do not want the front to sit a tad higher than the rears. I actually like the rear to be a little higher. If this happens to me I am just going to get a rear spring spacer and call it a day. Tired of effing around!!!

I do not want to spend $1000 on coils to fix this problem...

As far as cutting coils. I have dropped a 300ZX, a Infiniti G35 and there was no need to cut bump stops at all. The stiffer springs will prevent the shock from bottoming out.

And as a side note, my Swift springs were attempted to be delivered but nobody was home to sign, so now I have to wait! UGH!!!! I know I know, I should of taken the day off for this EPIC MOMENT!
