Pretty amazing how 1/4" can make all the difference, but I believe it.

Well I am still on the snow tires which are the same size sidewall front and rear so it is a bit higher in the front. But as soon as the weather sorts out I will have the summer tires on and may have to readjust since the sidewalls are different sizes like stock.
The threads are not maxed out, but definitely getting harder to turn as the spring compresses.
It is not a night and day difference, but helped with the bouncing. It seemed to make more difference when I firmed up the rear compared to the front.

I just ordered the Tein Basis GSP92-1UAS2 for my sedan but the retailer (Redline 360) said they only work for the 370Z and G37 Coupes. Do they also work with the sedan? I got a pretty good price $460 right now... but he said if they don't work that I'll get a fun restock fee as they wouldn't be able to sell them new.
Tein's website shows no compatible Tein coilovers for the G37 Sedans.

So I started on the rears first as they're easier... well I'm stuck, having some difficulty with torquing the rear shock top nut to the top hat @ 22Lbs. I've installed lowering springs before on my old G35 but didn't realize I'd have to reuse the top hat mounting part for the rear shock. I was able to get the top hat off the old shock but I want to do it right and get everything torqued correctly. Did you guys use a special shock top nut tool for this? I've seen some for domestic cars but nothing for imports or Nissan/Infiniti w/ a 14mm.
With all the trouble, having to hacksaw the old dust cover, reuse the front/rear top hats I'm starting to think it might have been better to buy a more expensive set of coilovers that were ready to install without all this nonsense.

Tricky tight space... Using a vice grip on the top of the flat sided bolt then an open ended wrench I made it as tight as I could but not sure how to get it to a specific torque as my socket torque wrench won't allow anything to keep the tube from spinning freely. I've seen people say to wrap the tube with rubber/leather and vice down on that but I wasn't going to do that.

The trick is going to be getting to that height with the suspension hooked up. Try to get it adjusted as close as you can with the spring collars before you put everything together. The springs will be under quite a bit of load at that height if you try to do it on the car.
