I lowered my QP 2007 QP Sport and am thrilled! The ride is stiffer for sure, but the handling was very much improved on the track. I used FD springs designed for my car's non adjustable skyhook dampers. It dropped about 1.25 inches. No real problem with speed bumps etc. and car to me looks better (personal opinion!)

1.25" is not a big deal, especially keeping the stock wheels. Just make sure you get an alignment after to correct geometry.
That car looks fantastic. Most people don't track 4-doors, but these cars are more than capable, which is why I think they are so cool.
Now if we could just figure out how to keep a performance tire from jumping ship at 5500-7000 miles!
As far as my input here, I am more than happy to run VINs through Maserati for you. I can check warranty work done, and check campaigns. I can find originating dealers and assist in finding radio codes, key codes and such (of course if the dealer recorded those items). I'm just glad I stumbled across this site. I see lots of Maser clients daily, and we answer lots of questions as we would like to see you enjoy these cars and be prepared for anything that can pop up.
My car is lowered over 2" all around. Its a combination of Jeff's FD sport springs, and lowering the skyhook coilovers. Just let you be warned that you will go through tires a lot faster, and need frequent alignment. If you plan to lower it a lot, Jeff also has spacers to make it look better, looks kind of odd with the sunken wheels

Thanks for all the advice. I didn't feel like waiting any longer and I picked up a set of springs and decided to put them on my ride today. They are being installed as we speak haha!!!!!
@RaCinStylez - I love the lowered pic of your Quattro with the GTS wheels damnnn
@QP Sport - I'm gonna be dropping it 2" in the back and 1.7" in the front.
Let me resurrect this thread. Has anyone used H&R Springs Part no 28960-1 to lower their Quattroporte? A distributer here in Canada is offering a good price on a set but it looks like it's only a .7 or .8 inch drop, I'm not sure if it's enough. I know the FD ones are 1.25".
Are there any options apart from FMV ? $165/hr is a little bit too rich for my blood, so looking at alternatives - anyone have any experience ? I'm not keen on taking it to Clements or milos - but there must be other options out there ?
Thx

Looking to buy a reasonably sorted Coupe or GranSport. Doesn't need to be perfect (looking for a bit of a project), but hoping to find something with minimal stories.
I'm located in the GTA.
Thanks!
My QP5 manual says to use 5W40, but it appears to be a rare commodity. What is everyone else using (brand and grade) and where do you obtain it? It looks like we cannot get a lot of US and European type oils.
