I was wondering if anyone else has measured the body height at the rear axle of their 350Z.

I have 2003 and over the summer while I was looking at my parked car, it appeared that the drivers’ side (ds) quarter panel was a little lower than the passenger side (ps). I moved the car to what appeared to be a level surface and measured the lower wheel well height across the middle of the rear wheel and my measurement shows ds< .25" compared to the ps. I do not notice any unusual driving issues. I must add that I do not carry passengers, I might have taken four people for a total of 10 miles and I now have over 13, 000 miles. I have noticed no unusual tire wear either.

My question is, is this just springs settling, or am I just trying to be to perfect.

Thanks.

 

I have the same thing. My 2004.5 has more wheel gap in the passenger side than on the driver side by about a 1/4". I noticed when I did the lowering springs which seems to amplify the situation. I thought it was just my car or the springs were at fault.

I am glad I am not crazy after all!

 

Thanks for the reply, I see you have the Hotchkis springs and sways, that might be my next mod but not sure if I should do the shocks also, I have a few months to research due to all the snow we have and will be getting more this week.

Thanks again.

 

When you are ready for the Hotchkis give Greg at www.gscmotorsports.com a call. He will give you a good deal and carries the Konis if you decide to do shocks as well.

So far I've gotten the Hotchkis TVS suspension, Hawk brake pads and a set of Volk GTC's w/Toyo T1S tires at very good prices and great service to go with it.

Good Luck and Enjoy....

 

*Afraid to actually look at my vehicle*

Knowing my luck, I'll notice this tomorrow *LOL*
