I am as noob as they come to the 350z world. I am not a noob to car mechanics however thankfully. I just purchased this three days ago. Previous owner told me it is on h&r coilovers and I can raise it a bit if needed, it is needed. My issue is the front only has coilovers and the rear is simply lowering springs. The tires as 235/40/18 on all for corners and the front is only a 1/4 lower than the rear when I measured from the bottom of the rim to the fender. I am looking for some input as to what is needed to get this thing off the ground a little bit more so I can drive it. The area I am from has terrible roads so this just cannot work. The body of the car isn't even the major issue. It seems like underneath is a tad lower than the body and I dont want to be ruining things driving it this low.

or get some bilstein shocks with eibach prokit springs and sell the coils

Travlee thanks a lot! There is a threaded piece coming down from the top on the inside of the spring. I'll adjust it tomorrow and see where I end up.

So I have the car in the air now just to find out there is no nut on the collar on the rear to adjust. Is it possible to purchase just the nut?

You would have to reach out to the manufacturer

If I purchase and install the rear lower spring mount rubber pieces will that raise the rear a little bit? What I initially did was cut a 3/4 inch aluminum spacer and installed it above the spring where the adjustment nut would be. Kind of ghetto but does what the nut would aside from being adjustable. I plan on buying new coilovers in the future since these are tired but in the mean time if I could do this to gain a little more height that'd be great. It's almost at the ride height I'm shooting for
