Here are the pics on a different server.

Ground Control coilovers with 500lb front, 450lb rear spring rate.
Koni adjustables 1/2 stiffness all around.

These pics were taken with the coilovers at almost there lowest setting, I can still make it lower but wouldnt drive like that anyways. I have no raised it up to a 1-2" fender gap so that I dont scrape anything.

Your car looks real good. It looks like it sits awesome. How's the ride?

 

pretty smooth with konis on normal roads, but due to the lack of suspension travel, it crash pretty hard on big bumps


I made one too !!

looks tight.....i think mine are that low..maybe even lower....are your fronts all the way down?...do u have 8" coils?..

 

The ride is actually very good. I now have the koni's set just under 1/2 stiffness since the roads around my area are full of pot holes from winter. On the highway I stiffen the shocks as much as possible. As long as the road is smooth the rides perfect, turning is awesome.

 

Very nice. Can't really get a good view of the drop because you don't have a full side shot, but can definitely see the difference. Now all you need is some 18s.

 

No the front and the rears arent all the way down in those pics. I've only had them for a couple days so I was just playing around with the ride height. I should have lowered the front more in those pics. Yeah I believe I do have 8" coils.

 

I'll try and get a side view pic after the rain goes away. It's suppose to rain for the entire week up here in Toronto

 

nice drop with the GC/Koni combo

 

Car looks great man. Good work...

 

Yes, man .. Congrats!
Cant wait to see how low I can go when my new KYB's and Eibach pro's go in.

 

Nathan....dude...like I said before....ride looks bangin!!!

that drop is sooooo hot...

what did the whole setup run you?

 

$300 Canadian used from my buddy (he used it for 1 year). I did however have to give him my entire stock suspension because he's selling his car. Did the install with the help of him and another .org member.

 

yeah i have my fronts all the way down...the camber is fine...and it looks really nice...id try it if i was you

 

Be careful with that setup. I'd get 4th gen springs if I were you.

 

 

Hey man, thanks so much for the help/advice a couple weeks ago about this setup. The ride is amazing. So you have yours dropped all the way and your camber is fine? How can I tell, just by looking?

 

Nice pics...

 

My Maxima look excatly same as yours but my car is Sterling Mist.. I lower all the way down in the front and the back I lower half.. How lower u go in the back? All the way down or half. Nice car bro.. I will show you pics of Maxima!!!

 

hey Nathan..now u got me wantin to drop my bish!......how do you adjust coilovers??? and how long does it take?

might be a newb question but I know jack about coilovers...

 

Hey Nathan, what size drop is your car in those pics? More than 2"? Half finger gap? One finger gap? Your car looks amazing. I think lowering the car improves the looks immensely (And the handling!!). God knows, why I haven't lowered my car yet!

 

To adjust them all you do is jack up the car and turn the piece of metal with your hands. To lower/raise the entire car it takes me at most 15 minutes (mind you thats in 0 degree celcius weather).

As for how low they are in those pics. I counted the number of threads on the coilover sleeves and there were like 5 threads still remaining under the coils. So I guess I can still lower the car 1/2 an inch or so.

 

Nathan, that price you paid was a steal!!!

Very clean 02 all around...nice drop, love the cleared headlights and painted tails....

all you need is a grill and ur set!

 

Nathan,

Answers Please!

The ride in my Stock '03 SE is harsh, and at the same time it wallows like a boat, with a floaty feel.
I am hoping that new Springs and shocks can make it handle better than a typical rental car.

Some have reported that RSB makes oversteer and mid turn bumps really scary? Is that true?

Comments please on how your set-up improved the handling performance?

I can't have that little suspension travel on New York roads and not bruise my B@lls.

 

Well compared to stock, the ride is more harsh but the improvement in handling makes up for the loss in smoothness that the 2k2 came stock. If your looking for a nice ride but a lower stance and better handling I would get H&R's and adjustable shocks. I had the setting on my Koni's at 3/4 stiffness but now have it at the softest setting and the ride is incredible. It still corners good and I dont feel every imperfection in the road.

As for the rsb, yes it does give you oversteer but I dont mind it too much. As for the rear hopping out I havent experienced that yet.
