WOT Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I bought these used springs off a local, supposed to be the 4x4parts.com 2" lowering coil spring set. This is a picture of a front and back spring. The left spring is: 9 3/4" Tall 6 Coils 6.2" OD 5" ID .560" wire diam The right spring is tapered: 10 3/4" Tall 5 coils The bottom is 6.2 OD, 4.7" ID The top is 6.75" OD, 5.5" ID .630 wire diameter I used a measuring tape and a crappy caliper I have in the garage so my numbers are approximate, but can anyone confirm this is there lowering spring?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Those springs certainly look a lot shorter than either the stock or the 2" lift springs, so I would guess that they are indeed lowering springs. The taper is correct for the front springs. The larger diameter goes on the strut spring pan, and the smaller diameter fits into the strut top mount.

Rick13 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Not a confirmation, but according to measurements, those are quite a bit shorter in free length: Rear R50 coils are 14.38" stock and AC/4x4Parts 2" lift coils are 15". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 I installed them a few nights ago and they sure are lowerring springs. About 3" in the rear with my stereo and 3.25" in the front after I cut half a coil off. I really need to pick up some new front end parts and get a good alignment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'm guessing that you are going to do the SFD but only wanted 2" out of it? Did you intend on lowering your 4x4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonianwalk Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 We all love our Pathy's and enjoy discussing (and even showing off our customizations) but, this is primarily an offroad forum. I'd still like to see before and after pics of your ride even though low riders are not very popular with our crowd. You may want to check out The Nico forums where there are more people that share your interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesRich Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I want to see pics too! I always lower my 2wd vehicles a little. I dropped the back of my titan a couple of inches so it would sit more level and not look like it's just on the two front wheels when stopping fast. It looked like I was doing a stoppy in my truck! I like the lowered look but not dragging the pavement, it still needs to be practical. This is a pathfinder forum, your not the only 2wd on here.

WOT Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Ouch, no love for the 2wd guy eh! Anyways its raining and I put my snow tires on today so I used my cell phone Looked better with the 20's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick13 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I have nothing against a lower vehicle (always wanted to lower my wife's Maxima). Nice "shocker" sticker on the mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 lol! I said I want to see pics. No flameage intended. None seen by me, just backing him up a little being 1 of the 2wd guys round these parts cut it off before someone starts WOT, that got a decent little stance now... lacking that gap I'm sure as you said though, the fair weather set do it better justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 The stance is fine, looks pretty good actually. The tail light covers though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 The stance is fine, looks pretty good actually. The tail light covers though... They are not "covers" on the taillights I actually made taillight copies out of fiberglass and frenched in those 24LED strips. One of a kind... I personally loved the blacked out oems I had, but the cops didnt and I got several tickets. I like the updated look of the LED's and it keeps the piggy's happy And hell I just like modyfying things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 And hell I just like modyfying things So where is your custom exhaust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Oh I got that sir! Mines a 2.5" catback I made with a flowmaster 40 and deleted factory resonators, it currently dumps just after the axle as I am thinking about making a custom rear bumper. But still sounds great Edited December 15, 2011 by WOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
