Before & After - Rear Spring mount mod
Today i decided to do the rear spring mount mod. i drive a 2004 350z
lowered on tanabe gf210 springs (stock struts, etc.)
it took me about 2 hours considering i did it by myself. like everyone else had stated, the hardest part was cutting the spring mounts, lol.
i didn't take pictures of the cut springmounts but i literally cut as much as i could without the mount being completely flat (hard to describe, hopefully you understand what i mean)
it's honestly not as low as i thought it was going to be.. im not sure if it has to resettle or anything but i think it looks pretty good (until i purchase coilovers)
Here is my car before the mod:

thanks! yeah it'll be a while before i get coilovers. but im pretty satisfied with this. i think i need to get my fenders rolled though (at least my rears) when i got over a speed bump i can feel my tires scrape..

Much better, that booty was sky high in the before pic! Any way you could take another pic in the same location and angle for comparison purposes? Either way, better results than most ive seen.

I had a pretty hard time finding matching sizes and these popped up and looked perfect. But the front wasnt the problem, it was the rear. But maybe when new tire time comes around I'll just grab some new spring mounts and get meatier rear tires.

maybe 40 series sidewall?
255/40 and 275/40?
either way...your current setup does not look bad at all. with the spring mount mod....it honestly looks fine.
now upload MOAR PIXXX!

Looks nice! I'm in the process of installing those springs on my 06 Z. Just did the rear suspension this past weekend along with the SPC toe/camber kit. I'll be doing the front in the next month or so (car is garaged for the winter).
