I'm looking to lowering her. I'm looking at some tein lowering springs with 1.6 front and 1.2 rear on gr2s. Has anyone used this combo before and if so how was the ride?? Seen options for 2-2.5 inch drops but don't wanna have that ricer look. the car feels a lot better on the 17's than it was on the 15 steelies.

 

before you guys say anything she is clean now, I took that pic after the install and it was raining. hahaha

 

looks good, how does the ride handle?

 

No one has ever done GR2s and S-Techs

SEARCH! Terrible combo IMO.

 

Anytime you lower a car you will sacrifice ride quality.. The ride will most likely be a lot stiffer.

Since when is lowering a ride rice?

The less the wheel gap the better the look.. Those wheel gaps between the fender and tire are ugly on the 4th gen. A 2" drop will give you a nice look. I would look for something in that range or get coil overs and you play around with the height till you get the look you want.

 

There is always one.....

 

I was referring to the slammed look. Ive had plenty of lowered cars gs-t, nx2k, mirage. Just was wondering about it on the maxima because the cars I mentioned where kinda built for that. Just trying to get some opinions, this forum seems like its ok except the kids that were picked as kids and wanna be macho over the internet. If you have an opinion state it with class and keep it moving.

 

Thanks man, as far as handling its way better than horrible 15s. Im pretty sure it will feel better with a drop and better shocks. It still wont handle my bimmer or laser but hoping it will get close

 

At stock ride highth with good struts and 235/45zr17, I love the handling of my max. I think the poor ride quality and added stress on CV axles is not worth the look of a lowered car.

Now with camber plates, and LCAs for correct alignment and geometry, maybe. But that's more than I have an spend, and again not worth the look.

 

Lowered on Tein S techs. 2.2" up front 1.8" rear. I used the kyb struts and it rides well and handles awesome

 

I'm lowered about 1.5" on the Tokico Illumina drop kit...see sig pic

 

see this is more of the look I'm going for....thanks man

 

I not sure if I have S-Tein's or H-Tein's but I'm running 235/45/17 with no problem rubbing.....
