ground clearance ??

Nism0370 · 04-26-2011, 06:47 PM

Anyone have FI catback and swift springs? Curious as to how much ground clearance I will have with both (gotta make sure I can get up my driveway!!) If anyone could measure from the lowest point of the exhaust to the ground, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks!

I haven't had any issues with ground clearance with the F.I. TDX. I have a stock height NISMO, but I do have issues scraping the front if I am not paying close attention to the dips and such. I am sure that the drop from the Swift springs will not cause any issues with regard to the exhaust, but it would make dips/speed bumps/driveways an issue with the front.

I have the stock suspension on the GTR but I have about 1/2 inch of ground clearance going into the street. Damn storm gutters! I'm probably going to place a PVC pipe drain and cement over top to lessen the angle into the driveway. I've looked into curb ramps, but cement is much cheaper!
