After talking to my mechanic, and PM'ing Todd here, I've been forewarned that the rear adjustment collars are a total PITA, unless you drop the lower bucket. And after measuring things today, I've decided I want my rears raised another 1/2". So... I'm actually going back to the shop tomorrow and have my mechanic do it. And then the alignment next Monday.
DIY is so overrated. That, and I value not having my knuckles all ripped up and bruised.

True! I found 2 G37s 6MT in Buford Ga! I was just at Buford Dam having a picnic a few short weeks ago!

I'll do the rears but what sucks is the instructions give you measurements to lower it like 1.4 I think. I can't use that since I need it to sit at the same height as the OEM set up till the fronts go in. Going to have to do the adjustment a few times i'm afraid. I was looking at the front installs and decided that 75 bucks a side is well worth it. I can have him cut the front rotors to get rid of that shudder under braking also.
You guys are more than welcome to come down and help adjusting ride height. I'll BBQ !

At full height (less a few threads), it seems about 26 3/4" to 27" floor to fender... which was the original goal with all those stupid bushings.
I'll know more tomorrow.

Obviously about 0.2* of straight-up camber was reintroduced by raising the car a 1/2" today. Tomorrow I'm going to measure again and see if height needs to be tweaked one more time before Monday's alignment. And with the camber arms in place, I'm hoping to work with the shop and have them dial in the camber I want. Not sure how that's going to work out.
One day at a time, and so far so good.

Depends on the bumper. I was able to fit a 2010+ sport bumper using the same method you described when I dropped it off at a body shop to get painted. You might want to wrap the edges of the bumper though as it might rub against the front passenger side dash and/or the rear driver side door panels.

G37 Sedan *Chat Thread*
So I've been working with some guys in Japan on some new engine bay (or other) bling. It's taken awhile but I'm happy to report that there are now 5 super rare purple TK Donatellos available.
You can expect to see something in my bay but I wasn't certain if anyone else may be interested.
