Need to type in English

2" is a basic drop and you should be fine.

Re: how low can i go

dont get a bigger brake. the added weight will be harder to stop and to get up to speed. itd be better to get stainless steel brake lines and semi-metallic pads.

Anything over 1.5 inches and you'll need a camber kit.

Re: how low can i go

Why would you want to go lower than two inches your car will ride like you are driving on and old worn out matress pad. If you want to go low and have to replace your tires every month not to mention look dumb with your tires always at a 45 degree angle be my guest. But I did not know they made spinners in a 16" wheel.

MACHINALBERTO,

1) Cursing out moderators is a very bad idea. Again, this is a bad idea, not a good idea.

2) Trying to cause problems and lie in the forums in general is a bad idea for that matter.

3) You claim all that BS in the other thread..."I run 11's, etc" and then you have to ask "is a 2" drop too low..forget it, I went with bags."

http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=258762

If you insist on lying, at least try and keep your lies straight and believable.

your very ignorant, goin lower then 2" your car will ride like a worn out matress is the stupidest comment, your shit probally rides like that cause you cut the springs, done right it will ride nice

my truck's frame lays on the ground and my truck rides like a caddy.
and the comment about goin thru tires every month is a lie, ive had my truck 7 months and ride with nc *the 45 degree comment* all the time and my tires look practicly brand new


you can never go to low

Re: how low can i go

Did I say my car rides like that no because I would not lower it that much. What is the point in lowering your car that much anyway? It does not do anygood for performance? I am not trying to be a dick I just want to know what the point is

not to be a dick or anything but you are talking about a nissan truck and this thread is talking about a honda car... i dont see where your truck sitting on the ground and riding like a caddy applies?
