(OEM height is 27.75" front and 28" rear) Some others did not report that it did this, so I think it's a car tolerence thing. I also noticed when I removed this that the lower shock bracket with the three 14mm bolts can be moved around when loose so that might of been the issue. Not sure.
I would say that these are for someone that does not want to lower the car, but wants a stiff linear spring for street or track use. The car definately handled great.

For the 350Z, I had both sets of Nismo suspensions offerred. I first had the Nismo from the production car (2007-2008) model sold here in the U.S. That too lifted my car roughly 1/4" all around. I had a heavier touring model, and I know the Nismo was not the lightest model. But I believe the Nismo production cars sit higher just because of the body kit...or mainly the front lip. The ride was more firm, but still soft.
Then I switched to the S-tune Nismo and that actually dropped the car a tad bit.....right where I wanted it. It was a much more harsh ride, but I loved it. That is probably what I want to do with this car, but I want to make sure it's S-tune and not off a production car.
I had the shock/spring setup with both sets as well.
I currently have Eibach, and I think I want something stiffer...and actually with maybe less drop.
For only $100 though...this is still really a great deal. I remember paying $450-$500 for my factory Nismo shock/spring setup for the 350Z.
Here are some pics between the two setups I had before. You can see the coils are much tighter on the S-Tune.
