I forgot to mention... from my observation, the '03-'05 model sit lower than '06+ therefore you're happy with the gf210 drop and no need to do spring mount mod.
My '07 had 2 finger gap and it was hideous IMO, so the spring mount mod was necessary. Check out the before and after pic:

I noticed the same thing when looking at pictures. It's more than likely due to the change in spring rates. Also, I found that on a full tank of gas the rear will sit a little lower. So I will fill up before the next shoot
After seeing so many new springs on the market, why has no ones picked up on our "spring mount mod" and made their rear springs drop our car more than the front?! everyone does the spring mount mod for a reason, so we are not stuck with the racked look from almost every spring gives
I remember there used to be a thread way back when (possibly on another 350z forum) with a list of all suspension and specs for the z33. IIRC there are some springs that drops the rear more.
Not the best pic so will have to take more later. 20mm spacers rear and 15mm front. Lowered on Tanabe GF210.
I'm thinking about going with almost the same setup (on 06 Grand Touring rims though, 20mm in the back and 10mm spacers in the front with the gf210's).
Do you have any more pics from different angles? Any rubbing or fender modification needed?

Here's a a side angle pic. I would recommend a 15mm spacer in the front. I still have a little room to go with the 15 and the 10 would be not enough. The front I have no modifications to the fender but the rear I have rolled flat. I have no rubbing at all with this drop.
Recently installed tein stechs with tokico dspecs. 18x9.5, 255/40 front, 275/40 rear. Kinda wish I would a went with a tad more of a drop but ohwell. Sorry for the crappy pictures :/

Try Eibach prokits...will drop you another 1/2 with better rates.
I have GF210s and you will need an alignment and a front and rear camber kit to get back in to spec. i have the rear camber kit and have not purchased a front camber kit do to cost and my fronts are just barely out of spec
