No. Just no. Find something else to lower. Not trying to be rude but Pathfinder's were never meant to be lowered. Are you trying to gain some handling and performance by lowering the COG or just going for the look of a lowered vehicle?

The H&R springs will drop you about an inch. I looked into these but never did it. I'm up around 80k miles now so I likely won't bother trying for performance improvements. If anything I need to start slowing down a bit as the parts age.

Now if you're trying to slam it...(do people even do that these days?) I have no idea. I'm sure it would be a custom deal.

I'm just trying to lower for handing and so I dont have such a wheel gap that's just my preference since I'm the one paying the bill.

From what I've heard the H&R springs make a huge difference in handling. Also, airbags and Bilsteins (both of which I've done) also make a big difference. Airbags alone (at $80-$100) should be done no matter what...worth 3x that for the performance/function improvements.

By lowering the Pathfinder more than an 1" you'll lower the roll center and the truck will totally handle like chit (plowing into turns with alot less frontend bite)

This brick will never be a slot car, it'd suck to spend a bunch of money and still have Geo metro smoke you in the corners.

Go buy a Cherokee SRT8
