Please help me out from this urgent situation I am having. Currently I drive g37s coupe and has Vossen cv7 wheels on my car. (Offsets: +32/45 , 245/35/20 / 275/30/20) This morning I had Tanabe sustec pro s-0c coilovers on my car. I wanted to drop down the height just about one or two fingers that can fit in between the body and the tire. In my perspective, I really don’t like how my car is a lot lowered. As you can see the picture, my rear wheels are both kept down instead of having a same height as front wheels. Therefore, I am looking for other brand name companies such as KW-V1, Megan racing coilovers , BC, ETS….that can raise my height. Is there any possible way that I can keep my tanabe coil and still raise the height of my wheels?

Do you know if your installer set the rear to the highest possible setting? If not, have him adjust them as high as they'll go and see if its high enough for you before getting something else.

My Megans (and I believe BC too) have very low rear setups, I'm currently set almost to the highest setting (about 1/4" of thread left on the mount) and I'm at 26 1/4" to the fender lip. Luckily this is what I'm happy with but I could see it being a problem for those that want a little gap in there. There's a thread somewhere where a guy used the rear rubber oem cone mount on the bottom of the spring bucket to give another inch of height. I think it's on a 370z forum. I'll look around tonight and see if I can find it.

Here's the thread
how to raise the rear of my megan coilovers.... - Nissan 370Z Forum
I believe Swift makes longer coilover springs too, could just replace the rear w/ taller ones to get more height.

Have your installer adjust the rear height to your satisfaction.
Usually free one adjustment after the install. After that go the DIY section on how to adjust.
Rear adjustment in easy. Front adjustment a little harder especially if you're raising.
Keep in mind that the springs will settle down approximately 1/4 - 1/2 inch after a couple of weeks. Mine did. I have the Tanabe sustec pro.

Nice to have someone w/ the same setup chime in. Hopefully you've got some room left on your spring mount collar to just raise it up to where you really want it. Like G4 mentioned, the shop should be able to readjust the rears quickly and not recharge you~good luck!

You can also get coil spacers for the rears.
