Yea that's what I was thinking 7/16 would be good too, if it s a little loose thst fine you can deal with the noises for a few days, but yea the washers will be good to add some length if the threads arnt in the right place....good luck let us know when everything is on good and lowered...where do you live??

Hey man I just have one more question, The link you posted 2010 Infiniti G37 X Suspension Components

The bolt I need is for figure 17 do you think 7,8 would be the bolt for that one?

Nvm figure 17 gets placed on top of 6, 17 just holds the strut in place!

Yea look at it in the FSM you can see what parts bolt up to which
7 and 8 would be my guess because #6 is the lower control arm itself.

Hey I took my car to the shop and they did the suspension, They changed the front struts out because one of them was really worn. I have a question though. My rear used to be lower then the front, Rear was 26.25 inches from the bottom of the wheel to the wheel fender, the front was a little under 27. Now the front is at 28 inches and the rear is at 28.5. Is this normal?

did they use stock springs and shocks? The only thing I can think of is if they didn't use Nissan struts and maybe they are slightly longer,or if they replaced the springs and since they are new they don't sag as much as the old ones, or if they replaced the upper mounts those are new and not worn down...all of that together could maybe move it 1/2" I guess

They got 2 new Nissan Struts for the front, the rear ones are all good. They used the stock springs I gave them. Looking at pictures of other g37x coupes, they seem to have a higher back end too. Maybe im just overthinking. The ride is alot smoother now though.

No just springs, I do still have a slight negative camber. Will that get changed with an alignment?
