omg! that is so sick. i want one on my pathy! Could u take some more photos at different angles man. And i love the tire rim setup too man. great job.

[pathfinder_se_black]

looks amazing, did you do anything to the rear to make it higher?

[InfinQX4]

Yeah man - I'll work on some more pics! BTW, that's a PSU license plate in the front -

Only thing in the back are the OME coils and shocks - nothing more.

I'm really happy with the result - Drives even better than before.

I grew up there - State College - Folks are still there. Lot's of PSU in the family. Used to walk from our house to the statium for the JoePa games.

Hope the transfer works for you - great place!

looks great!...how much is liftedsorry im completely clueless when it comes to liftsim a drop/slam kinda guy

[fueler]

looks great. How would you describe the handling characteristics?

take more pictures once you hit that dirt!!

[Qxxx4]

yeahhhhh bit*hes!!!!! lovin it...looks great....now for some flex pics!!!

I didnt expect a 1.5" lift to be so noticeable

Looks good

[fueler]

did u replace the strut bearing at the top of the assembly or did u leave the old one

the springs are 1.5" all around (should be once they settle) but the spacer adds another 1.4" up front for a total of 3" lift up front

im getting the same springs but no spacer (for now) so mine wont be as lifted

I'm curious as to how the OME springs handle vs the AC Coils.

And isn't 3" a lot of stress on the CV?

[pathfinder9035]

not if u have hubs.

OME settles out to about .75-1" of a lift so a 1" spacer will put you at about 2" of lift. The AC lift starts out at almost 3" of lift & settles out to (at least mine did) 2.15" of lift.

Manual hubs or not if you plan on wheeling or doing any offroad in an R50 with 3+" of lift without any kind of SFD you are gonna snap CV axles like Joe Theisman's birdy-little leg

Not sure - so I'll assume they left the old ones.

Handling is Great! It's stiffer but still a good ride. Without a doubt more responsive and feels really stable. I always thought these were great handling vehicles, and was a little concerned about the effect of the lift. But this combination really tops my expectation!

I'll watch for the CV's and know what can happen. I have 2 ways of dealing with this:1) Manual Hubs2) 1" front Diff drop

I figure this offers the best of both worlds.
