I found there is a clip sticking out inside the rear fender.

Does it need to be knocked off when you install a lower spring or coilover?

I wish I could lower my Z. But living in the country prohibits doing this. If you ever drove over a skunk, or any dead critter. You definitely would think twice lol. The carcass rolls under the under carriage, and smears goo everywhere. 😱😱😱. I’m happy you’re able to do this! 😁

In Australia Kangaroo’s just fling off your bumper, headlamps, hood or windscreens… then you keep on driving 😂

One of my friends and I went to a track day in our respective 350Z's, and he hit a skunk right in front of the main entrance to the track. There is nothing on this planet that smells as bad as smeared skunk parts burning onto a hot exhaust system. The whole garage area just reeked all weekend, prompting someone to find a roll of white paper and taping it on top of the length of the car to give it a proper skunk stripe.

Not right away no, in the spring I'll probably take it in for a quick once over, if anything it'll be the rear camber a bit if I want to dial it in, but for the most part it'll probably be fine

Almost damn near the same. Maybe a touch stiffer over some very rough roads. But, they feel great. Sure beats some of the teeth jarring coils I've run in the past lmao
Can vouch for teeth jarring coils. Mine on stiff are totally unbearable. I have them dialled half and it’s nice.

on stiff, you drive over a leaf and your spine explodes. I’m not joking. 🙃
