Well all the newbies have been asking (not that I am a veteran here) about droping the car. Well, below you will find a before and after pictures of my max. In one shot I have changed to Catman (Progress) Springs, KYB shocks and struts, Catman (Progress) RSB and Racingline Stabilizer Links.

Hope this helps.



Yeah, thats my brother holding the measuring tape.

 

thanks great help

 

That's interesting, I'm at just below 27" front and rear with full tank.

 

Very scientific looking...

 

i had an interesting thought, for us, the ones taht have HID's, would we have to relevel them due to the fact the front is pointing down about 1.1" for it to work like stock beam levels?

 

I adjusted mine.

 

how much off was yours?

 

STICKY!!! A modderator should Sticky this, cause you know, its good info!!

Thats interesting, never thought about it. How do you adjust? do you have to go to a specialist to get that done?

 

As in a dozen or so turns on the adjustment, or couldn't see ahead thru the curve on canyon? It was noticeable the first time I was on my way home after dark.

The adjusting screws are in the back of the headlights. It's easier to have the dealer or a mechanic do it though.

 

wait so Cattman Spring are basically Progress ???

 

Cattman sells Progress springs.

 

are you running the GR-2's or AGX?

 

wow, perfect amount of drop. Nicely done.

 

Did you do it yourself?

 

Nice pictures. It's amazing what a difference less than an inch will do!

 

they will settle lower than that..

 

KYB GR-2's

 

No I had my mechanic do it for me. Looking at the guy seems easy but when you got "zero" tools its impossible. Charged me $200 for changing springs, struts, shocks, RSB, Endlinks and to realign

 

what kind of struts are you using ? OEM , GR-2 or AGX ?

Personally I hate GR-2s , they are basically OEM , Ive had issues with them with my u13 Altima , blew 2 brand new sets of them in less than a year

 

I use GR-2s from KaYaBa. I have heard that these are anywhere from 15-30% stiffer than OEM. So far no problems; its been on the max for about 3 months. As to the stiffness - THEY ARE STIFF, at least on NYC roads. Just a bit too rough but for now I'll handle.

 

Bump....


.... for all those interested in springs....

 

what mechanic was this ?.... in nyc?

 

I want to know too.. all the mechanics around me want $350+ more for the alignment... I'm from nyc too
