Just outta curiosity do you know what your friend is dropped on, and what kinda cannards those are or where he got them?

I say buy the wheels and forget about the drop... Get a little taller sidewall (dont go too much) and call it a day. It cant possibly look worse than stock, only better... IMO

Forget everything and fix your driveway, umm man your neighbors probably wishing the same --by the way your neighbors across the street has a nice driveway

actually backing in might work better. you'd think it would scrape but it wouldnt. your not scraping in the dip, your scraping on the incline, so backing up would fix that. just be careful driving out and dont let the momentum make your lip hit while leaving

hmmm ok I will give that a try and see what my clearance is like going that way

I may be nuts or something, but I like em without a drop. To me it looks better and obviously less chance of scraping everywhere.

Compdoc777 · 04-11-2012, 08:28 AM

A good set of coil-overs you can go lower and not worry about scraping. Usually they don't have the dip of regular shocks nor the compression. I was low on my RsX with mine and had low front shell. I never scraped now speed bumps and high angles will get you, but they even get the super cars.

Maybe bag the car you can go high and low.

this thread made me chuckle. "dangerously close" hahahah man ive slid the front nose of my nismo up drive ways and sh1t plenty of times. no i dont like it and it makes me cringe, but getting out to measure the distance and everything... hehhee just makes me laugh.

when the "newness" of your nissan wears off you will chuckle as well OP.

He's dropped on BC racing BR coilovers, the cannards are from stillen.

OMGWTFBBQ · 04-14-2012, 10:10 AM

To be honest, you'll get used to the scraping. If you're lowered enough, it's inevitable. At first, I'd cringe at the sound of my front lip scraping but whatever. I scrape on a daily basis coming in and out of my girlfriend's house. That's why I use her C300 as my daily now LOL.

Excellent!! yes to my next mod!!!

bullitt5897 · 08-23-2012, 12:43 PM

I would make the next mod: FIXING THE DRIVEWAY! If the driveway is such a pain at this height why not spend some money to accommodate your current and future rides.... just a thought.

RyanWest · 08-27-2012, 12:46 AM

raymondo510 · 08-27-2012, 06:00 AM
