I used search but couldnt find anything. how low is considered slammed? I want to drop but not so low that it will put stress on other parts. I have KYB GR-2's and want to get progress springs which will drop 1.7" front 1.5" rear is this considered slammed or will i be ok? oh and will progress springs work with the GR-2's?

 

The answer is in here...

Subjective maybe?

 

When you plow pavement, you are considered too low.

 

I think Im slammed (sig pic)

 

my boys TL is pretty dam low...

 

love those TLs, specially when there that low.

 

I would say so, I think most people would agree - except the VW guys haha they would say that both you and I are driving 4x4s lol to them, this is slammed, but it's too low for me. I'd never be this low in a DD...





and a really nice pic...

 

slammed is less than 1/2" clearance IMO

 

When you can't make it over a speed bump, LITERALLY CAN NOT MAKE IT. you're too low.
>2" I dont think is slammed, and progress isn't SLAMMED but it's low. Very nice stance.

 

that TL is sweet... IMO you gotta be lower than the lowest lowering spring for your car...

i think im slammed

 

your def slammed grand hustle hahaha

 

thanks man lol that was last year, im trying to go a lil lower this year, i dont think ill be satisfied until im as slammed as a nascar

 

I wouldnt consider him slammed. He's low but without that lip kit he would sit pretty high.

 

have you ever tried lowering a 00-03 maxima anymore than that??? i understand most make of cars can go lower but anymore lower and my axle will break in two... believe me i speak of experience, i almost crashed on my highway because the coilover was sittn in the axle boot, 6 axles in 5 months

 

You do know that there are two ways to adjust the height on KSports, right? And I know all about breaking axles. The lowest part of my 99 sits 1-1.25 inches off the ground and the coilovers arent anywhere near the axle.

 

i think its funny that "slammed" is considered so technical of a term

not to mention a car that low is useless IMO, although yours does look good hustle

 

i dont personally care for cars that are too low, i think im at a decent drop

 

if u cant drive over a speed bump at all ur slammed but why would anyone want a car that low anyways? hotshotvq35's max is at the perfect drop IMO

 

thanks for the link...

 

U can tell wen a car is low... wen da wheels start to camber odee den dats how u kno its slammed.. if not den u ok

 

carlos,

when you find me a picture of a 5th gen lower than grand hustles setup(NOT ON BAGS), post it up. love to see it!

 

I am enjoying my ride lowered, still on stock 17" rims, by no means as low as some of the rides I have seen. I am using S-Tech springs and KYB's

 

im about to get rid of the pro kit and the blues... im debating between KYB's+stechs or D2 coilovers.... leaning torwards the stechs for cost purposes

 

That's only true if you're an idiot and don't run camber plates or have a way of adjusting camber.

 

Essential1's car sits pretty close to his height and he doesn't need a lip kit. Plus he has bigger rims than Grandhustle.

 

i can make it over most speed bumps. Your slammed if you have no suspension travel. My car is pretty low, but i have progress coilovers and have plenty of travel. For performance, your LCA's have to be parallel to the ground.

 

Well I was worried I might blow my new struts with Progress springs so I went ahead and ordered H&R's

 

my drop, i think this is far enough. i need 18's though

 

I think that I am more than low enough, I like being able to carry passengers and not be "plowing pavement" to copy a phrase mentioned before.

 

my friend has k-sport on his 4th gen and it do sit a lil lower than the 5th gens... 5.5's are a lil lower also

 

thanks

 

agree but disagree (camber adjustment) look at the TL again

 

well i guess i was really slammed... i forgot who i sold my front lip to but im pretty sure he can tell ya what the underneath looked like... also my crossmember use to rub over 90% of Marylands speed bumps (the one in my apt complex touches my side skirts)... im ignorant to drops (thats y i want mines even lower)... im going for coilovers again and my goal is to make it at least a 1/2" lower than my 5th gen ... the perfect drop IMO is when the car sits as low as a Nascar ( or the front lip sits about 3mm from the ground )

 

lol I'd love to see it too, if it's a 00-01 maxima i almost doubt it (not saying it cant be done, or pattin myself) the pics that i posted of my car is after the 6 axles and all the adjustments... like i said my first drop had my front probebly as low as the pics without a kit... it felt so weird cause my car didnt really turn unless i forced it and it was sliding (you actually here the tires sliding at a 10mph turn)... it only last 15 mins though, thats when my coilovers were in my axle boot... the black legend in the background in one of my pics was the friend who helped me install the coilovers... Me, him and my ex girldfriend almost died on the highway because i lost controll of the car and it was sliding out of one lane off the highway (luckily i was only going about 45mph)

 

all pics are after adjusting the car 6 times...





one of my many axles... (poor thing, it never stood a chance lls)

 

and this is on 19s.. rear tires were called tuckahoe..lol being slammed gets old after a while cuase c.v joints are a pain to change..i still wanna go bak to the slammed look but who knows maybe i will..lol


same settings slammed on stock 17s. try fitting ya foot under that..lol.. thread//

 

^^^ like that lls... beautiful

 

^^ man i dunno how you ride around md slammed.. i was on springs when i was out there and bouy there are some spots i would have to be very carefull

 

^^ i've only put 15K miles a yr with my 5th gen, work and home... really only saw rt50 (Never been to or through Washington DC)
