Sure does! cheers mate

Hi everyone, firstly I just wanted to say hello, and thank you! New proud owner of my first 370Z and loving it, previously I've always owned Alfa's for many years and just taken my Brera off the road and into storage while I scratch my itch of moving over to the Z club. I've only had the car 2 weeks, but forums and DIY guides I've taken from here have already been a god send, so thanks to everyone who takes the time to contribute, you've no idea how much it helps a new owner like myself out. Over the weekend I gave the car a good service, oil, filters, plugs, coolant change, pads and brake fluid, as well as fitting some Eibach lowering springs (5 times easier than lowering an Alfa!!) The car looks great, just the stance I was after, and feels good on the road, the only issue I have, is a slight rubbing/scraping, pretty sure from the rear end. The Eibach's have a drop of 20/25, so not ridiculous, I have 19" rays with the standard tyre size. on inspection, there appears to be sufficient clearance all around, and looking with a touch, I cant see any evidence of where it might be catching? The only thing I could potentially see as the possible cause is behind the drivers side rear wheel, the petrol filling inlet has a plastic housing which looks like the closest thing to the tyre, just wondered if anyone has heard of this being an issue previously, I know others successfully lower their Z's more than mine. I wondered whether a pair of 15mm wheel spacers on the rear might help be bringing the tyre out slightly, but I don't want to get too close to the wheel arch and cause another issue. Any thoughts or previous experience would be very much appreciated, Thanks guys, Martin
