Car Sits Lower at back than front

zegoat · 10-23-2015, 04:27 AM

Morning all,

I recently bought a 370z which had einbach springs and spacers on, so looked bad *** but also had its *** to low to the ground which meant it kept hitting speed bumps all sorts (im in the UK).

The guy I got the car front gave me the original springs so I had these switched on, but the only thing is now the car sits lower at the back than it does at the front, almost as if its leaning back - I hate it

. Car drives ok, no handling problems/noises just looks deformed.

Any reasons why this could be?

Car naturally squats on the rear

Did he give you nismo springs?

I too hate the boat look

are you holding the gas pedal down the entire time? my nose tends to go up and feels like my azz is being pushed down.

Post pics so we can see if it's leaning more than normal.

Nismo model? they have a travel spacer in the front springs that has been known to be left in (I see you've swapped springs in / out so probably would have noticed those but might have thought they were stock bits)

Also welcome! Enjoy the Zed! ( that's Z in proper English to us, the uncultured colonials!)

not sure but didnt the eurospec GT get different suspension vs the Z's sold here in the US?

could be why they look different from ours. zegoat car does look like its got a wedgie vs mine.
the pict in my avatar is stock height.
