Wats up.. I have a 2010 maxima with 20" murano rims , the car is stock height and im lookin to lower it.. What would anyone recommend ?? Lookin for a decent drop without having to worry Bout scrapping n speed bumps etc... Im goin to try n post some pics up later on.. Please give me any opinions you may have

 

Well do you want to go the springs route or coil overs route? Coils you can adjust the height depending on season where as the springs you cant adjust so what are you looking for...

 

Aint going to happen...its either you get a std Coil drop ( 1.5"Max) or you go with coil-overs and go lower...but then you are in the scrapping mode...
Personally never had the taste to go lower than the std coild drop...but i do like when the coil overs are not overdone!

Bottom line its your personal choice and the depth of the pocket

 

Whats the easiest way to post up pics so i can show u guys the car and lmk wat u think

 

And wat do u think is a decent spring drop

I think the Std coil swap is good...i mean it could be just a bit more to completely close on the wheel well gap...but for the price to do that with coil overs its just insane...
if you want to go lower than that then go with coil overs..

 

actually, I dropped pretty tightly on coilovers and I have absolutely no problems. I'm not sure how many inches but much lower than eibach springs.

Obviously if you have those donald duck front bumper spoilers then yeah you will scrape even if your stock height.

but with oem bumpers and a nice, low, tight slam you will be OK. Personally, I don't even have to "angle" out of drive ways to clear my bumper. I drive it as if it was a stock car.

Obviously you will have be careful and watch the road for bumps, pot holes etc. any time you run 35 series tires. But overall, it's a trouble free set up. Here's a pic.

 

Wat coilovers did u go with??..

 

Thats another thing to consider...if you are going to go with the lip then you might want to think about how low you want to go

 

i personally went with the BC coilovers they had the best reviews overall and i have 20" rims on my maxima but the differance is i love my car slammed..... but although its lowered it drives pretty smooth except the fact that i live in boston so the streets here s#@k.. i went with the eibachs and the only thing that i noticed that i did not like was that the back was lowered more than the front were so it didn't look right.. i would definitly recommend the coilovers oppose to the springs. cause like essjunin said you have more choices with the CO's u can tweak them to you liking and also the damper adjustments too.

 

I also went with BC Coilovers and am on 20's wheels as well. I wouldn't trade it for anything!!

 

Thanx guys im going to look into purchasing either the bc or d2 coilover kit

 

yeah I'd stick to BC....the guys who run BC are real world class guys. They know how to run a business and have high value for their customers.

 

BC for sure...

 

I just fell in love

What rims are those? Goes perfect with the Max and the drop

 

Here we go with this again.....go find another one of BBMaxi's 5 threads where he talks about his wheels. lol don't ruin this thread please
