How's it going folks. Just looking around on the internet for ways to lower my R50 Pathfinder at the moment. I know that 4x4Parts has the lowering springs for $400, and no offense, just seems pretty steep for only 2" of movement ya know? So I was figuring if it would be possible to pick up these Ebay Springs that seem exactly the same for the 2WD R51. I have a 2WD R50, so I was unsure if it would work or not. Also read up on the difference between the two on the rear suspension. Any clarification on the matter would be great.

And there's the set. Thanks in advance.

Follow Up Question: Any other Nissan springs that are compatible? Wondering if a set of 350z Springs would be up to the task, but then again I understand the weight difference between the two.

Im interested in this. I bought the 4x4 parts "lowering springs" and they did not lower the front at all. Now I have to either cut them or find others that fit.

Aha yup Alfredo you know it man, us slammed people problems. :(

I talked to the lovely folk over at NPORA and it sounds like we're pretty much screwed. They did point me over to this member who had a QX4 with a 2.75" drop. Looks like he had to do some spring cutting. But my oh my. That looks amazing.
