5th Gens "Dropped" Thread
Post all your lowered drops here, including information on your springs, struts/shocks, tire size, and even measurements from fender to ground for the people who bother to do them.
I'm not picky but it would be nice to have clear pictures that show the car on a mostly level surface or at least show the stance and not pics from the top/back/underneath or with crazy ricer angles.
The whole point is to show how the various lowering springs and coilover adjustments turn out and to give people a chance to post their lowered Maximas.
Ideally this will be something like Housecor's site but to show more colors, rims, etc, along with the various drops:
http://www.shiftice.com/spring_strut_decision.html
Once again,
PICTURES ONLY - NO COMMENTS, DISCUSSIONS OR QUESTIONS. Failure to comply will result in an automatic 7 day ban. Use the PM function if you need to ask someone something or comment.
