droping a 98 q

[timderiksen]

i wanna drop my 98 q atleast a inch whats the cheapest but a good way to drop it?? do they make drop springs?? would it effect my front camber?? also where could i find any products to drop the Q

You're gonna have to do 2 things:

1. Hope someone may still have some springs available, there was a guy (audiovisiony33) who brought a bunch of espilir springs over.

2. Do lots of READING on this forum on the subject.

welcome to NICO!

a sawzal ( how ever you spell it) yeah thats what i didn't to my rear upper control arms then spaced them 3/8" then tig welded them back to gether. and that fixed my rear camber.

anyways i found a site that has drop springs for my 98 they at eibach. is it worth it or not???? i dont wanna slam the car just wanna fill the fender wells up more with my 20"s

i used to be in to minitruckin hopefully oneday ill get another nissan hardbody i would like a extened cab so i can build a killer system like what i have in my q

Eibachs are great with KYB SR Specials. Not slammed at all.

Camber problems still exist.

[timderiksen]

camber in the front??? or just the rear

[maxnix]

Both. I've heard of 240 SX camber plates being used, but never have seen it verified.

Front camber is about -1.5°, I believe.

[timderiksen]

damn that sucks looks like wont be droping my car at all unless someone knows the best way to drop it at least a inch

[maxnix]

Eibachs do that.

You might want to check the NICO or vipstylecars.com classifieds.

[timderiksen]

will the eibach change my front camber any at all im worries

[maxnix]

With a MacPherson strut design, any lowering will change the camber.

Without an adjustable top plate, or the trick lower arms available in Japan, camber is not adjustable.

You can do those Eslipirs or the Teins both work well. I have had them on my 97' for over 2 years now and the tires wear just fine. I have about 10k on a set of YR rated Bridgestones and they are in great shape and no odd wear issues.

Trust me, do the drop the RIGHT way with the lowering springs, add the KYB SR Specials and the 2nd Gen is transformed into a really great handling car. I added 19" rims and the car just has no body roll anymore. I take a big turn on a long up-hill by my house at 80 (when competely dry and mostly empty) where I used to be nervous at 65. The camber issue isn't that bad, however, if you put like 25k a year on your car I'd think twice...also how are you road. There have been some folks in east coast cities with bad streets that thought they were too stiff.
