To make it short: I can't afford mags for the moment but I'd like the car to handle better, how stupid will the car look with nissan quest hubcaps (I know, they're ugly as hell but I only found caps for 4.5gen max and they didn't fit dunno why) and dropped like maybe 2"? How much would that cost with eveything?

 

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????

 

leave the stocks, or find a phsyciatrist.

 

...........

 

put nissan quest hubcaps and that drops you by 2" ????????

 

WTF is a phsyciatrist? If you want to make fun of some one make sure you don't make yourself look like a dumb ****.

 

What I mean is that I ALREADY have nissan quest hub caps and was wondering if lowering it by 2" would help on the handling and how weird it would look?

 

So I mispelled it, a shrink I meant.

 

Just because you're lowering a car by 2" doesn't mean you get better handling. If you cut the stock springs it'll probably handle worse, any name brand aftermarket springs will improve it. Also, there's a limit how much you can lower a car, past a certain point (usually 1.5-2") handling might suffer.

If you're wondering how good it's gonna look with Quest hubcaps, just try it and see. If you like them, keep them.....

Really? Well I thought that by dropping the car, the center of gravity is lowered and will handle better especially when I take hard corners, now I have to hold the wheel hard and put my elbow on the armrest if I dont want to fly to the passenger seat..

 

LOL

good point big d, I think he needs a "phsyciatrist" himself, lol

 

Are you two butt buddies or something??

 

Don't bother with hubcaps at all.

 

[QUOTE=Max-2-GTR]
major drop = bouncy ride = bad handling when u hit big bumps, u almost lose control because the front end bounces up 3-4" once u hit a big pot hole or something, and that takes away the weight from the FWD system and causes u to lose traction at times. this is one reason why major drop is bad.

A slammed IS300 was rollin next to me few days ago, he hit a pot hole and went all over the road, nearly hit me.

 

You are gonna have to spend plenty to get to where you want. you are gonna need shocks along with the springs, afterwards, strut bars and sway. i am sure some of these guys will suggest what their set ups are... mine are eibach and tokico with stillen strut and adco sways... I like this set up cuz of the ride....some ppl prefer the AGX ..much stiffer ride for ones that are more lower ride.

 

2" drop is not a major drop....

do not put hubcaps on your car, especially van hubcaps. leave your stock wheels, you dont need "mags". just drop the car if thats what you want to do......

 

Roll with no hubcaps...lowering with Quest hubcaps will make it look like you got your Mom's car and cut the springs.

 

Handling will become worse if you do not buy aftermarket shocks. Time to read up:

get hubcap spinners with the drop the spinners might look real
