I know B+G have 3 finger gap front and rear. Maxspeed have 3 finger gap in the front and five finger on the rear. What about Progress? How many finger gap on front and rear? Thanks

 

I don't know what they are, but those others are a lot of gap for a lowered car. My Integra had a 2 finger gap on 15s with a .75-1.0in drop. But the Maxima has a lot more gap to start off with.

 

I have weapon r coilovers with 17's and i have no gap

My 96SE with H&R has 3-finger-gap all four corners. I have 225/50/16's.

 

well since were on the subjecy whats the finger gap if any with Gc's 2 inch drop 17's and agx;s..thnx

 

you guys do know that not everybody has the same size finger

what we need is somebody to measure stock heights for the Maxima and then you could compare different drops from different springs.

just a thought

 

I also measure from the wheel well to ground. But that number is much harder to remember than "3-finger".

 

i am on stock height right now and i measured the wheel gap to be 3 3/10 inches

 

could you measure the distance from the ground to the wheel well for both the front and rear of the car?

i want to see how much my H&R's dropped?

thanks

 

I have had these spings for about two years now... I have picts showing the wheel gap.. its two of my fingers front and rear. e mail me of you want some picts of em.

i ride on modded H&R's and have a 2 finger gap all around now, thanks to my 18's!

yeah, outer tire diameter has a good roll in the "finger" gap too... bigger tires obviously will have less gap, not meaning the car is any lower for example.

 

no gap!

 

Sitting on modified Intrax springs...still a nice ride with some good looks!

 

I got Eibach's with 18ins with a two finger gap.
MGokool, your drop looks mean. How is the ride. How does it take pot holes, and what struts are you running. Livin in NY has it's ups and
downs (the streets suck!)Holla
Maxi

 

The ride is a little bumpy, but not as bad as those honda's where they bounce around on the road all the time...still running the stock struts, and the ride is still fairly smooth.

 

As usual, no one with Progress responding. Not many have them, I guess. I have less than 2 fingers in front (about 1") and 3 fingers in the back (about 1-3/4"). I set up for autocross, not looks. My car is corner balanced to within 1 lb.

What springs are you on and how much are they supposed to lower you versus what they actually did?

 

I have progress springs. I guess its about 2~3 fingers gap in front and back. You can look at the gap for yourself at my cardomain site
<----- clicker

 

I'm on Cattman coilovers. They can go lower, but then they don't necessarily handle as well. I'm about 26" front, 26-5/8 rear.

 

Nice ride. 20% tint on the glass? Anyway, a bit hard to see the drop in those photos because of the lighting (black tires, dark gap). If you get a chance, can you measure the height of the wheel arch front and back?

OK, another question for a "progressive" like you: How's the ride? I've heard someone say those springs are close to stock (I have an SE) and someone else said they were good enough to autocross. So, I'd like to know if they are comfortable enough as daily springs, but can be tightened enough with the AGXs to really tighten the car. I guess anyone with AGX could talk about that .... Um, do you have bumpstops?

 

i can stick my little cousins head in there...hehe...thats why i'm in the process of droppin it

 

i got the progress / agx combo and its been a week of settling. im gettin my alignment tomorrow AND....theres about a 3 finger gap on stock 16's
LOOKS LIKE A NORMAL CAR NOW

 

is it really a 3 finger gap? i think my eibach are 3 in front and 2 int he back. crap, i was planning on switching to progress for a lower but not slammed look.

 

yeah its definitely not 2 fingers, my friend brought his teg over yesterday and his eibach drop was 2 fingers and all i could say was DOH! cuz now my max only looks like a normal car but its better than before! and no bottoming out no nothing yet, its fine with me

 

Odd. All the specs I've seen on here say there is more drop with Progress springs than with the Eibachs.

 

I went outside and measured the wheel gap with a ruler. The space in the front is about 2.4" and the back is about 2.6". Which is more than I expected it to be. Oh well it will look lower when I get my stillen body kit next week.

 

well im still riding on stock 16's so with your bigger wheels, if you got em, ull have less of a gap then me. the progress drop is actually a lil more than eibachs probably

 

Hmm ... thanks ... if you get a chance with a tape measure, the wheel gap would be more informative as a comparison, since we all have different wheels. I just went back to stock size on my original rims; got tired of the road beating I was taking from 235/45zr17's. Same diameter, though.

 

Im not quite sure what you are after. The distance I measured was from the top of the tire to the bottom of the wheel well. What measurement do you need? I have the same size tires that you have (235-45/17).

 

The standard measurement is from the center of the wheel arch on the fender to the ground. ie - my coilovers are 26" in front (the wheel gap is about 1") and 26-5/8 in back (about a 2" gap). The wheel gap is pretty subjective. It isn't like I used a level across the top of the tire to establish the height.

 

2 finger gap with 16's...actually more like 1.5 fingers gap cuz i cant really fit the 2 all the way. INTRAX/STOCK
