check it out i love love the dropped look when i first got my gc coilovers and kyb's put on i dropped the pad low lowlowlow and rolled around like that for a while eventually my cv boots tore ..2 times in about 1yr and a half but only the passenger i ended up raising it a bit but wanna go bak to lowridin so my question is supposedly gc's never sag is this true?? and to lowlowride do i need anyother parts like mayb a camberkit and some bushings? wich ones???----lowridin

 

camber kit would help but cant say that you wont mess up the joints again... i have k-sport coilovers which comes with camber adjustments and and i dropped it so low, it looked like i had no suspension on the car, unfortunately 15mins of driving, i tore my axle booth with the greece splattering all over, sad to say i went through 3 axles in a week due to my ignorance lol

 

Jesus this is hard to read.

Yes, case after case this is what happens when you are that low.

Hope you have lifetime cheapie axles.

They won't sag and either way they are covered to a certain degree by Ground Control. This is NOT the suspension you want to slam it on by the way.

Honestly, to low-ride you need air suspension (best) or a fully adjustable coilover (better). Camber bolts or plates are not really necessary on either setup as many coilovers include camber plates and on air you don't really care what your camber is like when you are slammed, it will resume closer to normal when in driving position. You could also throw all of your English text books that went to waste in the backseat/trunk. By the looks of it, there should be a good many.

 

Punctuation for the winwinwin

All things aside, Fr33way is right, get D2's if you insist on having coilovers to just be slammed (if anything). If you want to be extremely low the right way, you need air ride.

And if you want people to help you on here to take you seriously, punctuate your sentences correctly. We all are hardly English professors on here, but we DO need to be able to read what you are asking.

 

you can slam it, but nothing will be working how its supposed to. your geometry will be off, your axles at extreme angles, yous suspension travel will be nil, and a couple other things. that being said, i am pounding mine however i will be running top-of-line coilovers, an adjustable suspension kit, custom springs, custom axles, and hopefully some adjustable control arms. so i would say unless you plan on kicking out some cash stay at a decent level. even if you do spend the change i wouldn't reccomend it for a daily driver.

 

how big of a drop are we talking about to have damage to the CV joints / boots occur? and what if you lowered it but kept a high spring rate, lets say F/R 350/300 or 400/350? would the harder suspension cause less damage on the CV because of less travel?

 

any type of lowering will contribute to damaging the cv joints/ boots.
however, extreme lowering like a few members here ( including myself), will simply go thru cv boots/axles faster.. that's all..

remember, the more stress, the faster it will break

 

It's more the angle than the travel. If you look at a stock Maxima the shafts point slightly downward, when the car is dropped they are straight and are stressed on the outside joint from being pushed into the hub.

 

is there anyway to fix this? like maybe shortening the axle by 1/8 - 1/4 inch?
