2 inch lower heights.

I bought a set of springs from a org member a while back and they clamed to be 2inch sprint lower springs. (RED ON COLOR) Ok I have 225/45/17s and these spings on the car what should the height be from the ground to the fender be. (ON normal flat ground) Maybe someone could measure it too see.

You just have to put them on and see. I have seen Sprint be so different on so many Maximas that I doubt you can get an accurate measurement.

Ohhh I gotcha...you want to compare your ride height with the ride height of others with sprints. My bad...I can give you my height with Intrax (I know thats not what you asked for) and 225/40/18s (should be about the same height as your tires).

My height on all 4 corners is 25" at the center of the wheel well. I just checked and they are all 4 the exact same height and are exactly 25" from the ground. Now I just put my wheels back on and had it jacked up for a little while so I dont know if they will settle down a little or not (they look a tad higher but dunno). I will check in a couple of days to see if they change any.


EDIT: I have no amps or subs in the car either. That is without any added weight in the rear of the car.

IIRC, the blue ones (I own/ride on a set) are the "Extreme" series - roughly a 3+ inch drop after settling. All I know is that my wheels are tucked in pretty well now. I'm probably gonna go back to stock this summer, though, unless I can find or buy a little LESS agressive drop.

As for your question, 93turbo gxe... since I'm on my 15" OEM "winter" wheels, I can only get you measurements along those lines. I know that when I put on my 17" summer wheels (see sig pic), there's less than a finger of space from the top of my tire and the upper edge of the fender well. If that helps out any....

I have blue ones too and the drop is roughly 2 inches. I wonder if the spring rate is differentfrom the reds.
