Lowering my QQ
I understand why you'd want to lower a car, I've done it myself in the past, but not with a car like the qq.
It kind of defeats the purpose of having a car like the qq, higher driving position etc
Anyway, it's your car so up to you. I would use eibach springs if I was to do it.

Fill in the drop down boxes and you'll find lowering spring kits for the qashqai.

Thanks man ..I'll look at that site.
Like my previous SUV (2011 GMC Terrain) this QQ has alot of body roll when cornering at high speeds. When I lowered my Terrain the body roll reduced dramatically and became more fun to drive. I'd like the same with my QQ. I've also been a lowrider my whole life. It's a lifestyle here for some of us. I've seen the QQ lowered in the UK and it looks amazing.
Thanks for giving me some directions.. cheers!!!

Wick, as Greg has mentioned the name of the game appears to be to go for Eibach Springs. In the web they seem to be the main choice. If you had a GMC Terrain do you live in the UK and do you have a J11B at present.
There are a couple of German companies that also sell these parts Giacuzzo & VMaxx. I had the Giacuzzo ones installed on a modified Nissan Note, looks nice not a lot of body roll but does your back in - Dave

Thanks so much. My QQ is a J11 and I dont think it's a "B"
But I'm not sure. I have the 2018 first gen J11 with the round fog lights not the new body style with the rectangular ones.
So excited .. now to find out who ships to Canada ..lol

Wick, just to set you on the right track these are the two versions, I think you will find the “B” is not available yet in Ca or US at present - Dave

Ahh ok. Mine is the white one. QQJ11a.
Thank you for clearing that up for me ..I honestly was a little lost. This will help when looking at accessories. I ran my own vin number and it came up as Rogue Sport. I'm starting to understand the distribution of the QQ a bit now.
Thank you all for you help

Wick, there is a wide variety of Accessories now available for the J11A and J11B (some being similiar to the J11A). Apart from the usual websites such as Amazon, EBay etc there are several others such as :
1. Mainly Nissan OEM Parts with some marked down prices : 2. PRC Chinese Supplier AliExpress, some of these parts are cheap but the quality is reasonable : 3. German Supplier Giacuzzo (they speak English) : 4. German Supplier VMaxx (also speak English) : 5. Canadian Supplier (Parts look similiar to AliExpress) : 6. USA Supplier CARID (does not appear to be specific for the Rogue Sport, just general) There are obviously many others !
Let’s just hope this sets you in the right direction. Do not spend to many $‘s - Dave
