Had my quattroporte at stock height for a while now and I'm looking to drop it a few inches any suggestions? I heard Basics were quite good.
Boardwalk Maserati - your posts are very helpful, and generous. Glad you're here!Budget for multiple annual alignments.
A couple inches is a lot. Keep in mind these cars were designed to perform at their delivered height.
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!)Budget for multiple annual alignments.

Hey guys,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
