As some of you may know, im driving to California this summer (from Minnesota) and am potentialy taking 3 others with me (4 total in my 05 G sedan).

I am concerned that with 4 people+personal stuff, that the backend will be sitting very low. I am on Z springs up front and coupe springs in the back with 19" Coupe wheels.

Has anyone hauled 4 people and luggage in a lowered sedan?

We are going to take a test run to wisconsin once we all get back from spring break, and if it is bouncy and crap, i might swap out my springs for normal rate sport sedan springs... i dont want to be dragging my rear end around.

Anyone else do this/have problems with it? Dont really want to sacrifice looks, but also dont want my car to be tearing up my tires/rubbing my exhaust every time i go over a bump.

 

I have ~150-200lbs of stereo in my trunk and have had luggage + 2 people in the back seat a few times. No issues here (plus my car slightly tucks with no one in the back).

 

Arent you running coilovers though? It almost seems like there is more give with these coupe springs and sedan sport shocks.

 

how much of a drop did your coupe and z springs give you?

why don't you roll the rears just to be safe.

 

Off topic but....Where in wisconsin you coming to? Depending on when and where you are going we may be having a local nissan/infiniti meet. You can P.M. me if you want.

 

For a RWD sedan:
Coupe = ~0.5"
Z = ~1"

 

w/ those specs, i think janik should be good.

 

a 1" drop isnt enough to be worried about.

 

You'll be fine Janik. I've taken drives from SoCal to NorCal a few times in my G with my wife, the baby and a trunk and back seat full of luggage. Back was sitting lower but not low enough to cause any issues. I was on Eibach Pro Kit springs during these trips. If your fenders are rolled you should be good to go.

 

Well maybe ill just have to roll them a bit more to be sure. Dont want to screw up my new Falkens..

 

^I was OK and I didn't even have my fenders rolled. It was super close to rubbing though, only mm of clearance, but I was running ~-2.3 degrees of camber in the rear.

 

I have no idea what im running. I remember i used to rub going around corners if somone was in my backseat before i got my fenders rolled. Also rubber going over bumps when i had luggage in the back.

How do i check camber?

 

Janik dont worry so much and just do it

 

Im just making sure. Dont want to hurt anything on the baby G
