Hi all,
Thanks for having me here.
I have 2001 Nissan Pathfinder that I bought since new and it is in great shape mechanically. The suspension on the other hand feels tired. The body tend to sway too much. I have replaced the shock and struts once about 8 years ago. Though they are not showing sign of leaking, I guess the other components need replacements such as springs, trailing arms, front control arms, and bushings. I am planning a major overhaul of the suspension with new components.
Struts - I bought KYB Excel G
Shocks - Bilstein 5100
Front CV shafts - bought Cardone 66-6185 New CV Axle since the boots have ripped for a while now.
Bushing: planning to use polyurethane
I do not go off road. I just want to get a firm stable ride like when it was new. May be a little firmer than stock. Therefore, I would prefer not have any lift. If any amount of lift, I would prefer that it does not mess up the alignment beyond the point that alignment can correct.
Could you please suggest a set of rear and front coil springs I can go with? I have done a lot of searching in this forum but post I found are related to lift of 2 in.
I found OME springs that claim 0.5 lift, but I also found posts in this forum stating these springs are actually resulting in 2 in lift, which requires spacer etc. which is beyond my understanding.
Also, I live in orange county California. Any recommendation of shop that can provide solid service and consultation?
Many Thanks in advance !!!!
