Hopefully this is not a repost but I cant find a lowered thread so im going to make one especially considering i want to go even lower so i want to see the suspension setups available and how they look, this is open to all Gens, please give us your Gen, what your spring&strut combo is or coilovers obviously NO CUT/HEATED SPRINGS:

Year:

Also if there is anything such as stereo equipment throwing off the suspension balance u might want to mention that aswell, and in your opinion on ride quality and any other comments. And please lets keep question to a min.

 

Year: 96 I30t
Suspesion: Eibach w/ Konis

full weight w/ 80lbs stereo equipment



Spare/jack/trim/matts etc. removed stereo stuff still there:



The eibachs are a little harsh and the back end is always lower then the front, it also doesnt look as low as it really is which means u will scrap on stuff u thought u would miss

 

year: 96 I30
suspension: H&R /koni

unmodified wieght:




The ride is almost stock, very comfortable spring, the front is substantially lowered the rear is virtually unchanged from stock, the result is the car looks like a drag car with the front looking like it wants to go into the ground, it also feels extremely low compared to my other car with eibachs. Performance of these springs is also very good my fav. setup

Ride quality is bouncy. The car handles great, but it's harsh over bumps.

 

I have a 3rd Gen Altima but it shares the same chassis and suspension parts as the 6th gen maxima.
Year: 2006 Altima 2.5s
Tein Super Street Damper

On the softest setting, the ride is pretty decent. EDFC controlled damping force is a definite plus for autocross, since I don't want to have a stiff rear for daily driving.

Year: 1999 Maxima SE
Suspension: Intrax Springs w/ KYB AGX. These springs are great, they aren't too stiff and aren't soft either...they honestly feel like stock springs. Paired with the adjustable struts on middle stiffness and 235/40/18 summer tires, on/off ramps can be taken around 70mph I am very happy with the setup; I only wish the front was a tad lower.

I'm pretty low and yes the ride is amazing (tein SS coilovers) - very comfortable

 

Year: 1999 Maxima SE
Suspension: Tein S-Techs with KYB GR-2's. This is a 2 week old pic and I just lowered it so it has evened out a little more.

 

Year:1998 SE 5mt
Suspension: Progress/blues
pics:




Ride is amazing. Smoother than stock IMO and only slightly stiffer if at all. I'll eventually upgrade to illuminas but got the blues for a deal. Ride height is just where I want it as well.

 

i guess you missed the original post that stated no cut or heated springs, FAIL!!

maxmumsxspd Loving the max. I wanted to paint my other set of stock wheels black for when i go to the track. But idk if mine will look good Because mines not as low. Looks reallllly good man. Mad props

 

here's my old set-up -- k-sports and 19" TS-DUBYA's:

Year: 2004
Suspension: KYB Gr-2's & Eibachs - awsome ride and very comfy.
Pics:

 

jic a1 with 8k a2 rear springs with 245/4018s on the 00
great handling, but a bit tail happy with the 8k vs 6k rear springs
d2 with 225/45/17s on the 95
just as good handling as the jics, but nowhere near as nice of a ride, quite harsh





and since it seems everyones rocked a set of rp01s heres the same suspension setup, only with my old 6k rear springs. 255/40/17s

 

I think there is a thread with this already showing different gap rates, this thread seems more up to date tho.

* Too lazy to look.

 

a little more white on your car please, the tires are still black!!!!

 

always loved your car man...it's done up perfectly

 

LOL plz dont tell me those were the 17x8s with the 38mm offset, and u sold them to majestic?

 

they're 17x8 but i still have them(least as far as i know of), ive got 4 for normal street tires, and 2 with 275/40/17 m/t dr's they're my favorite of my rims, i could never sell them
