Default Hsd true coilovers on 2003 Z

Does anybody on here have HSD HR true coiovers on their 2003-2005 350z.Or any other true coilover for that matter.
I'm abit nervous about the fact that by having to change the location of the spring is going to affect the suspensions geometry.

When I go into a drive way or something on certain angles it's sounds like I hear the spring sliding on the upper spring perch.Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks

What are you hearing when entering the driveway? Like a squeak? Or a thump?

True coils are fine, your geometry will not be messed up.

I got a true setup and honestly it rides great. Rides smooth and corners great. The only complaint I have heard from others is that on crappy roads there is more noise coming from the rear suspension. I have not heard or experienced this but then again I have a nismo body so its different then a normal 350z. I figure if its louder then just turn your music up and keep driving

I'm going to check the upper spring retainer/perch what ever you call it and see if the spring has been moving/slinding around
When I hear the noise it sounds like a car that has a broken spring in the front and when you turn the wheels you hear that clunking sound.There's only a thin piece of plastic between the spring and the upper mount/perch whatever.
BTW the noise is coming from the rear coils.

Oh and Bing, I love Nissans' wierd noises and all!
