I live in puerto Rico i just wanted to know if im going to run into problms with speedbumps and holes a lot also i wanted to know if it would look to much, if someone has pictures of a 2" drop in a max it would be apreciated if you post them. Thanks

 

i drop'd mine 2".... the ride is smooth a lil stiff but nice..

u just gotta know how to respond quickly when usee a pot hole

-moo

 

Thanks man, any pictures? does it looks to much?

 

There is a picture above your post. Are you serious?

 

If the road conditions are like I think they are potholes won't be your only issue. I think a 2 inch drop might also requuire springs and stuts (at least stuts that will handel a 2 inch drop) that will give you a pretty rough ride .

 

yes there is but i can't see it very well

 

what exactly do you mean by that??

 

Well, as it happens my drop is around two inches and my current sig pic features it.

 

bad pic put mines a 2.2 inch in the front 1.8 in rear

 

How is the ride with the teins? What struts do you have on there?

 

im dropped 2 front and 2 back and ride is stiff but it still looks good

 

Ride is somewhat stiff over rough roads, took some getting used to but overall the look is well worth it.

 

Please... if you are on a budget dont lower your maxima... it will turn out looking ok but riding like trash.

 

Unless you run 3rd gen Koni reds in front and get Bens long travel rear mounts and/or coilovers, dropping your car 2" on springs is a bad idea. The only spring that drops that much and keeps the car drivable are Progress, although Eibachs are probably a better alternative. Do you care about ride or do you just want a huge drop?

 

I dropped mine close to 4" and rides great...
I am riding on D2 coil overs...
Speed bumps and potholes aren't an issue... you have to remember, if you are lowered, do NOT drive into pot holes or even if you are stock height, never purposely drive into pot holes..

also, speed humps, I have no problems with them.. mojority of them I can go straight on, if they are too high, then go at an angle..

 

a drop on coilovers is totally different than a drop on a spring/damper combo....anything more than 1.5" drop without a shortened strut will cause u to constantly hit bump stops...either 3rd gen Konis or shortened 4th gens are a must for a non coilover serious drop

 

i am lowered 2" front and rear with the stillen kit for years . i hardly scape the front at all and going over bumps you must go in an angle. the ride is s**TY but im happy with the drop and have no problems. im on kyb agx in front and koni yellow in rear with Sprint springs.

 

you can go as low as you wish but you just have to drive like your car is lowered.

 

if you dont plan on driving up to canada, u should be ok :P

 

The 2" drop would be fine in PR. You would be able to ride over the pot holes and speed bump with no problems. If you are riding on the factors, the car is going to look lower. If you have bigger wheels, the car wouldn't look to low. I have a 2.2 front and 2 rear with tokico illumina 5 way adjustable all around. The ride is nice even with 19" wheels.

 

how low can you go?

 

Make life easy on yourself- get an Eibach Pro Kit or Tein H-Techs. Even H&R springs. Any lower and you will regret going that low.

I base this on the thinking that if you have to ASK how 2" (or more) of drop will affect you, then you don't know enough about your car to drive it like a car with a 2"+ drop.

Take the 1.7 and be happy. That 1/4" makes a big difference.

 

2 inch in the f&r is not to low I have s-techs 2.2f & 1.8r on 18z bout to put it on 19z...



In this thread, it is fine...but STOP POSTING A PIC OF YOUR CAR IN EVERY POST!

lmao at Phenryiv1....

 

What?

 

S-techs 2.2/1.8 but pretty dang even imo

 

We're not debating if you CAN lower your car 2", we're debating if it's a good idea, which it isn't, unless you're on coilovers.

 

2 all around but ur gonna have to watch 4 potholes way more often then usual, trust me out here in NY there everywhere

 

Mine is over 2", no I dont have a pic. In some casses, my ride height is TOO low, but I like it.
