You said being that low you have CV binding at low speeds?

yes it causes just little shimmy under acceleration between 10-20mph itermittenly...doesnt happen all the time, just certain combos like turning and ccelerating

also had my alingment checked today :rotflmao

frt camber -5/16
rear camber -7
rear toe in 1"3/16ths
thrust is -5/16ths

going this low and agressive is not for the faint of heart

i think i may get 5k miles out of my tires :lolling:

Hmmm... Just wondering and not trying to get into a huge debate about this, but... Can cv binding lead to premature wear on the cv joints?

I really want to go lower and am thinking about getting some Ksports and installing the fronts to get that extra half inch.

What is your ride height again from ground to fender?

yes it can cause premature wear...my thoughts not enough for them just to go boom...

i am at 23" ground to fender up front.

i will probably raise it another 1/8" just to see if that will cure the cv joint binding.

Hmmm.... I dunno if I will spring for Ksports or not then because I drive too much and too hard for my own good... 20,000 miles and a new set of tires already... Although getting another inch lower would be superb!

Fronts I am right at 24 in the fronts and the rears I am at 23 and 3/4-7/8 eyeballin it. All I gotta say is that I have been working at it to get the fronts down another inch from stock settings on tanabes.

You should do the other side of the rear shot. It really emphasizes on the window graphic...which let's face it...is the number 1 design cue on the Cube.

Tire size, not wheels.

Good work on the camber - I posted an article on adjusting the camber on the Cube (and Versa), since I was one of the first to drop a Cube (3 weeks after the first one arrived at the dealer :) ).

Makes me regret my 17's. Goin' shoppin' - brb! ;)
