Need help with bolt size
Can anyone give me the specs to the rear lower shock bolt? I need to find a drill bit in the same size, and cannot find the specs. Thanks!

Redrilled the lower shock forks to get the rear lower. I am fully stripped out in the rear, and on my coilover setup, my rake is too much even when fully bottomed out in the rear.
And no, I cannot run a softer spring in the rear

Ahh, that makes sense. Bummer! I've used heli-coils to repair threads before, but never on anything that large..
Edit: I misunderstood the intent of the re-drilling. Are you also planning to weld a nut onto the fork in the new spot? If not.. there's a reason Nissan didn't want the both the bolt and nut to rotate relative to the shock body. Sounds like it'd be a lot safer (though more expensive) to order a new spring with the same rate and a shorter free length.
Good luck OP.

Whys that?
I just wanted to get the rear lower to reduce my rake. We corner balanced the car this week and got the cross weights 50/50, rear is still a bit lighter but not to much. Rerouting battery to the rear and will be running to some aero to help get some weight over the rear.
