Dropping my car 2"

I am about to drop my car 2" from stock. I have 2 inch 5 spoke nissan rims and I don't really know how it's going to look. Can anyone show me pics of how this might look if they had it done on their car. I would like to see it because if I don't like it then I don't want to waste my money. Thanks again.

Are you talking about the stock 15 inchers that come with your car? the rims I mean. If this is what you mean, I can send you a pic of my friend's maxima with a 2 inch drop with stock wheels. He loved it.

I was wondering the same thing, if we're gonna need a camber kit for 2" drop. Also, will I get a 2 inch drop with GC Coilovers and Koni/Tokico shocks? Thanks.

I dont have a 2 inch drop on mine, but I know for a fact you should need the camber kit. They are only about 40 bucks, but it will save you so much money in tires in the long run. Im getting the Eibach 1.3 inch drop and I plan on getting the camber kit.

and its not that bad ,really in coming from GLE sprints and i can truly say to me its about like the SE springs that are in my 3rd gen ,i also have buddys here with maxspeeds.progress,and h&rs to me it about the same ride except for bumps are a kind of harsh but how bad are the roads where you live? that the real question.

Well, I live in Chicago and the streets are not that good actually, at least the ones that I take most often. But other than that it's okay. I was wandering if it would ruin my tires and possibly anything else if I just replaced the springs. Cause I don't have that much money to spend. Unless someone wants to give me a bad *** deal . Well, If anyone can help me out with this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

Buss95Max and myself both have Sprints and neither of us have experienced any uneven wear at all. He's had his springs about 2 years and has put over 30,000 since and he has no complaints of uneven tire wear. Ive had mine for about a year with 20,000 have similar results.

Actually it doesnt. Just make sure you get an alignment a week or two after you drop it to allow for settling and you'll be fine.
