Default G37S Coilover question. (Rear not low)

Sooooo Im not getting any help on myg37, figured it wouldnt hurt to ask here.

Specs BC BR Type Coilovers, Kinetix suspension arm package from Z1.

I have the fronts maxed out and after the suspension settled im sitting on just the bumper, no big deal I plan on raising it about a half inch.

Question I have is the rear, I have them completely maxed out and im still looking at about a 3/4-1in fender gap. What exactly am I going to have to do in order to close that gap.

Didnt have this problem with the BC coils on my Z what so ever. I'm faily certain I ordered and dropped the car "the right way" with the controls arms and what not.


Thanks in advance for any help/advice. Im going to post a picture for reference in a few minutes.

IIRC BC changed the rear springs to slightly taller ones since the original shorter springs were dropping too low at even their highest settings. Might check w/ BC to confirm though.

I'm thinking maybe I dont have them set properly? Everyone I've talked to Vendors, and guys who have these coils on Z's and 240's say that theres basically dump the rear. A few vendors I've spoken with have told me that I can special order a set of shorter springs, but I'd rather not go the route of removing the coils again to install the shorter spring.

Is there a special way of adjusting the rear im not aware of? Even in my pictures it doesnt look "right" to me.

Without pics, it's hard to say.

Are you sure that you are not bottoming out the shock ?
