Ok i want to buy some inTrax springs that will lower my car 1.5 inches. i have 17.5*7 inch inch though... do you think that the wheel will rubb the fender?

Thanks.

P.S. any other nubira owners with lowering spring please give pros and cons.

What tires are on there?

Its hard to say what the overall tire size is since you probably have 17" tires mounted on that wheel.

you should have gone with 30's, tire height that is. I think youll be fine ive seen 18s on em with no problem.

do the wheels rub now if you hit a big bump with you and a couple of people in your car? if it does then you'll definately rub with the lowering springs a lot more. a solution to this is to roll your fenders so that little 1/4 inch metal is folded in soyou don't have to worry about it.

Its only rubbed with my mom driving lol. She didnt see a huge dip and went through it at like 50 and the back rubbed with like 5 pll in the car and a trunk with a few bags of dirt (for some reasone she took my car to pick up her garden supplys

) and would gettin my fenders rolled cost a fortune?

Thanks

It depends what his offset is. If his wheels are rubbing on the inside it wont help much.

I have installed intrax lowering springs on my 2002 nubira, with 17"x7" rims.

Front came out good, rear looks like junk, i don't like the rear gaping gap. Does anybody know a good set of springs to lower the rear more? I went with intrax because of the close to stock ride quality. Does eibach springs do the same thing in the rear?

I think 17's are too big unless it's slammed to the point of uslessness. I'm using stock shocks and pleased with the ride quality, still feels stock, but there's an intermittent clicking noise now. I'm planning to go with 16"s or 15's, and performance shocks to hopefully stop the clicking.

I need the rear lower but with same ride quality^^^^

it looks worse in person^^^

How much did it lower the car? My springs lowerd the car 2 in the front and 1.75 in the back(at least thats what the box said). Ride qualty is bad but thats due to my small tires and stiffer springs.

Heres a pic

I can only fit one finger between the gap in the front and barly two in the back.

Very nice. What kind of springs are you using? And those are 17"s?

The intrax I have lowered the front 1.75 and rear 1.5

The front looks lowered, but I think the rear remained the same. I can fit 2 fingers in front and 2.5 fingers in the rear lol.

i have the same look in my car with H&R

2 fingers in front 2.5-3 in the back

but thats ok for me

if u want to lower it put some weight in the trunk

Yeah. i was thinking of putting a heavy system in the back, or just some bricks. (not going to do that) I've decided that the height is okay with me, too.

Do you have a link to some pictures of your car? I am curious. I have seen some nice Nubiras and hope to get some ideas.

They are H&R Springs and the rims are retarted... there 17.5 lol... I have removed every thing from my car to try to make it a little lighter... i have removed the spare tire. Trunk floor, Fabric stuff on the underneath of the hood. but all together thats only like 35 puonds. And if im going over 80 EVERY little bump makes me bottom out lol
