INTRAX LOWERING SPRINGS
1.8"front 1.6" rear
the sedan would look incredible with that kind of drop

What do you think?

 

Never heard of Intrax. That's a pretty big drop. You'll probably need camber arms in the front.

 

I had Intrax on my Maxima. They're progressive rate springs therefore they're punishing when you hit a bump over .5".

Also, that drop is WAY too much for the G. Anything over a .5" drop and your camber becomes an issue. For such a crazy drop, you'll end up spending big to make it work. This is what you'll need to make it work:

1) New adjustable A-arms ($~250-500)
2) Camber bolts ($40-60)
3) New quality struts to handle the high spring rate of the Intrax ($400-500)

This is what you'll have to deal with:

1) Super stiff ride
2) Lack of any real wheel travel which isn't safe.

Everyone needs to remember we're not driving race cars that are driven on smooth race courses. We have to drive our cars on the streets with bumps, potholes, and rippled surfaces. You need wheel travel to make the car handle and handle safely. Adequate wheel travel is very crucial and any real racer will tell you that. There are two ways you can go about keeping good wheel travel:

1) Don't go any lower than a 1" drop
2) Get a quality set of coilovers.

 

But, dude, man! It would look all PHAT and stuff !!!


Until the front bumper and lip got torn right off.

 

DaveB, you meant suspension travel right? Anyways he hit it right on the head. With that kind of drop you will more than likely blow your stock shocks sooner than later. If you decide to use aftermarket shocks such as Konis or Tokicos, you will still lose suspension travel and will hit the bump stops and bottom out much earlier, especially when driving on bumpy city roads with potholes. Not to mention the money you will be spending on camber correction arms and rods for front and rear. If you want that low of a drop it'd probably be a better idea to get a coilover system that allows separate adjustment of shock body length and height adjustment so that you will not lose suspension travel.

 

Since you seem like the kind of guy that likes a nice low stance I would just get a set of Tein coilovers. That way you can level the car out however you want, you won't lose as much travel, they are very smooth and not realy harsh, and you are getting a matched system that is made to work together as a unit.

 

Yeah, go with a quality coilover set-up. That's the way to go. Check out Tien or HKS.
