Anyone Installed Lowing Springs on Their 4matic?
I've lowered my own G35, Eclipse GST, and lifted a Jeep...but I'm stumped on this one. I unbolted the control arm and shock, but something is still holding the arm in place and I can't get it to drop low enough to remove the spring. Has anyone had any success with this? What am I missing?

Make sure you do the final torquing on control arms, etc, with pressed in rubber bushings, with the car resting on the tires ... in the "laden" condition. You dont want to put a twist preload on those rubber bushings.

Turns out that there was no way that bolt was gonna budge without an impact wrench. So I decided to just take it in and have someone else do the install. I have an appointment tomorrow morning.
I'll post up pics afterwards with the new RS8's and super sports!

Hope your install went well. Were you able to get some pics?
