Is that even possible?

Yes but the non-aspiration was a big problem. I couldn't get it to move.

It's been awhile since I done some hard research. But I thought there was a set of coil-overs that removed the solo rear spring and placed it on the damper for a true coil-over in the rear. I could be wrong.

I've seen it on a G35, you can remove the spring seat as well, never drove it so not sure on any difference in handling.

Yep. You've generally got to do crazy things with the spring rate though.

Actually the spring rate will be lower than what it would be in the stock position as the lower control arm has a lever action, approximately times 2 (halfway between pivot point and shock mount).

Right, which often gives you funky behavior and some suspension tuning oddities (especially if you run a progressive spring)

Alright guys, things are moving along and looks like a 10mm spacer for the rears is what I need to get.
Options?

Looking at the 10MM H&R DRS: http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?i...SAN&model=370Z

You can't go wrong with h&r quality. That's what I would go with.

Should have no problem running them with the Volks?
I have yet to see the car after the drop but the guys measured it and said a 10mm would be good to clean it up.

Crappy shot I was sent, but car is lowered and bumper is on:

Looks good! Looking forward to some better shots when you get the car back.

Robert_K · 02-17-2012, 12:49 PM

So you up and running?
