[JDMPATH1]

if anybody could help me out i would greatly appreciate it... this is my 1st post so bare with me... i have a problem i've had my path just a lil over 4 months and i was stuck between lifting it or lowering it??? i decide to lower it but now my issue is i can't find lowering springs for it??? and cutting my springs is my last option so my question to everyone is does anybody know where i can get lowering springs for it??? i would really appreciate the help...

Yea There only one company that offer R50 a 2" drop.https://www.4x4parts.com/nissan/pathfin ... p-153.html

I've got them on my truck and it looks so sexy. You can also fit 22's with this springs as well. I'll put some pic's up if i can find my camera

I was the first out of the bunch here to go for the lowering springs. One thing to also look into is change your struts and shocks depending on how many miles you are, cause you might as well do the job when your taking it all apart to put springs in. If you are looking to do this, get KYB GR-2's for struts and KYB Gas-a-just for the shocks. The lowering springs may seem expensive but they are actually cheaper than buying all four OEM springs from courtesy parts. If you are changing out your struts and shocks, there are some parts that i would recommend you would get to change out, like certain bolts etc. Now as for the springs, if your looking for some awesome handling on an SUV like the path, i recommend doing this as you will not be disappointed. I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata LX limited sedan, now the rides made more for comfort so the springs are kind of soft, but its still low, you cant take turns nowhere near as fast as with the path, especially if you take the turn wrong with the sonata it will throw you out. Another thing to watch for when you do this is rail road crossing, potholes, and uneven road spots, because you will be in on a surprise when you go over an uneven railroad crossing and you head will be in the roof, (at least the one near where i live lol). What else can i tell you, well if you dont really know cars, it wont catch your eye that the path is lowered unless you have rims on it. I love my path now with the suspension because sometimes people think they can leave you in the dust on a curvy road, they thought wrong cause your right on there a**. Nice story i have about a guy following me in a new mercedes ml550 suv which is a 55-60k suv and the one right before the AMG verison. Well its a nice curvy road by where i live and he was sitting on my rear. So i take him for a spin and i left him in the dust through the curves. Its nice to watch. Well i guess that should be a good review for it, so if you dont mind the ride being a little rougher, and thats only on bad roads and stuff, on a good road, the rides great, and want extremely good handling for an SUV i say get these 2" lowering coils and you wont regret it.

THANX MIAMI FOR THE ADVICE YOUR PATH LOOKS SICK DROPPED... I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YA BRO??? YOU SAID TO GO WITH THE KYB GR2 STRUTS & THE KYD GAS A JUST SHOCKS IN REAR WHY??? NOT JUST GO WITH THE KYB GR2 SHOCK IN REAR??? I JUST BOUGHT THE KYB GR2 STRUTS & GR2 SHOCKS IN REAR FOR $190 WHICH IS A GOOD DEAL BUT I'VE NOTICED EVERYONE HAS THE GAS A JUST IN THE REAR SO BEFORE I INSTALL THEM I'M KINDA WONDERING??? ALSO YOU SAID TO CHANGE "BOLTS ETC." OUT WHICH ONES ARE YOU TALKIN ABOUT??? AND DO YOU KNOW IF CHANGING MY STRUTS & SHOCKS OUT WILL STOP THE DEATH SWAY I'M GETTING I'VE HAD THE PATH CHECKED OUT AND THEY TOLD ME THE SWAY IS DO TO THE FACT THAT I NEED NEW STRUTS & SHOCKS BUT I JUST HEARD ABOUT THE DEATH SWAY DO TO THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING BEING WARN???? I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR POINT OF VIEW...

[miamiheat3332]

Well i have to go to school in 40 mins so i dont have much time but, the death sway is usually your lower control arm bushings, you should seek advice from other board members who have had it, as i havent dealt with that problem yet cause i dont have it. People have said as i read on other forums and even for different cars that the Gas-a-justs were a better than the gr-2s, but i personally dont think there is MUCH difference although there may be some. I dont think only changing the shocks and struts will fix your death sway issue, and as i stated above also. As for the bolts and other parts, your better off ordering some of the parts i will list later cause i dont have time at the moment, probably later tonight, but its advised you change certain parts when you change struts/shocks.

If you just bought new struts and shocks recently, you don't need to go out and get new ones just for the drop springs.
