Slammed, Lowered, Stance, Rogue

[AZhitman]

So you see Sir, in fact the Rogue is an SUV. Sir.

At ease, Soldier. Wikipedia be damned, I'm hesitant to call a Sentra with a lift kit an SUV.

Still and all, I like the look of a loaded-out Rogue with a drop and good wheels.

What about the Murano? After all, it's based on the Nissan D platform, which it shares with the Altima and the new Maxima.

Nissan needs to be more drastic, and fast. If i was the boss at Nissan I would have demanded tweaks and more options in the rogue around 2010. made a Nismo option offering more than the lame Krome edition. bucket seats, LED accents, colored accents, tinted lights, multi-colored interior, etc.

lololol
in all seriousness, its more than just a sentra with a lift kit. the suspension, braking, transmission, transaxle, final drive, components are much different. so while it shares the platform/chassis & engine, its actually more rogue than sentra. Just like the murano AND NOW PATHFINDER which use a maxima/altima chassis. that still doesnt take away the SUV out of it.

the days of body on frame SUV's are slowly coming to an end.

if you installed a proper lift kit into a sentra, thats equal to the specs in a Rogue(fwd) = would the two be that much different? thats a different question. but is a rogue simply a lifted sentra? NOPE.

THE FORD EXPLORER USES THE D3 PLATFORM, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A FORD & VOLVO SEDAN. (everything from volvo s80's to the taurus)

And for that matter, even the Jeep Grand Cherokee, even in its most off-road form, is a crossover ;-)

[ImStricken06]

its cool Greg, even though a bunch of Rogue owners just dropped some knowledge on ya, we still love you.... LMFAO/JK

[AZhitman]

I'd refer to the Murano as a crossover or a wagon.

Call me old-school. To me, a SUV is truck-based, typically 4wd, or can handle challenging terrain.

Cherokee = SUV
Compass = not an SUV


It's all semantics, my opinion means diddly-squat, and I still think the Rogue is WAY underrated.

[SlimSlammedRogue]

Welp, lowering springs gone, coilovers!!!!

[SlimSlammedRogue]

Unless a new super duper Versa has come out in the last few hours that I dont know about, no Versa has a 2.5 and/or a 6 speed

sorry, the 6 speed from the qashqui will fit is what i meant to say, i might just get a whole front clip and switch everything over, no RHD tho

[followingnfront]

What kind of coilovers you got? And for what car? Post more pics with the coils

[SlimSlammedRogue]

6th gen maxima d2s got them off one hit from the back, I put the back adjustable spring in while i wait for the damper replacement to com in the mail, the fronts i have to fiigure out how to get off the strut assembly

[SlimSlammedRogue]

You can see how much low have left and the car sits the same as it was when it had lowering springs, so i may go lower depending on the front

Edmunds is reporting that Jeep has plans for a new, small CUV — or crossover utility vehicle — that will hit showrooms next year and will be about the size of a Ford Fiesta. The car, which is yet to be named, will be assembled in Italy and marketed globally.

MMM... D2's. Those are what I plan on running on the Lancer. They get super low... I can lay frame if I wanted to

[ImStricken06]

damn whiper-snappers and their low cars. in my day, we walked, up hill, in the snow, with 50lbs in our backpacks. LOL/jk

lol. I'm a mini-trucker at heart. If i could find me a square body chevy or an S-10 to play with, it's on.

[SlimSlammedRogue]

Bro i thought i was the only one, around here when people lower trucks they get bashed by the majority and loved by a few

[AZhitman]

You won't see much low-bashing here. I lower everything I own.

However, I have no tolerance for cars that are lowered to the point of non-functional (unless they're bagged, or the coilovers are dialed down for a photo shoot or car show).

When your low interferes with my safety (or makes me late for dinner), we's gonna haz a problem.

[ImStricken06]

no bashing, but ill certainly bust your chops a bit! lol/jk

[SlimSlammedRogue]

Hereeeee we go! The fronts lower back is the height the front was when it was on lowering springs or maybe a little lower, ive got to drive around and let them settle a bit then get the alignment to be safe

[ImStricken06]

im in brooklyn, soho, meat packing dist, all the time on the weekends hanging out.
if i ever see this ride, ill certainly wave hello time for some rims bro!

That's gotta ride a good deal harsher than stock. More power to you, but that is way too low IMO.

Word, he needs some Vossens.

Then a second car to DD lol.

[AZhitman]

I'd test out a set of 20-30mm bolt-on spacers on the stock rims first to see if it looks good.

Then, lose the roof rack and have that thing wrapped in a two-tone vinyl... old-school station wagon style!

[followingnfront]

I have a feeling that if he goes that wide with the spacers he will end up having to roll/pull his fenders at that height.

Yea rolling them is my last option id actually prefer not to tho, but not the ride is alot smother than stock it just glides, it was way harder with the lowering springs

parking lots are not really my scene. but i appreciate the offer. iv had enough of them in my street bike days. the site of them makes me run for the hills LOL

[SlimSlammedRogue]

Ill be out in brooklyn sometime this week ill hit you up the night before and let you know when

[harryg]

Where did you get the coilovers from? link?
thanks

i got the set from a 6th gen maxima (04-08) i believe. the fronts fit, but youll need the adjustable swaybar endlinks for a g37 or 370z to accommodate the lowered sway bar attachment, the back youll have to hack the dampers and get the ones from your car welded in to fit. But the nissan sentra coilovers fit too, but i was afraid the sentra was way to light, and youd have to trim and bore out the holes for the rear shock attachment places
