Im gonna drop my max and it looks like im gonna use Suspension Tecquniques (sp?) springs any one have some info on these any good or bad experiences??? thanks

 

*cough* Intrax *cough*

 

id love to but they are more expensive than eibach are

 

If you want ST springs, I have some for sale

Do they perform better than eibach?

 

General consensus is that nothing performs better than Eibach.

However, ST and Intrax certainly perform good, just not AS good as Eibach.

Eibach = Autocross type handling

Intrax, ST, etc = considerably better handling than stock

 

I ahve to agree....

 

Intrax?

ST's generally don't sit even...rear tends to be lower than the front

 

I have ST's and IMHO they really aren't that bad in terms of uneven sitting. They are fairly inexpensive too, which is nice.

 

in my sig pick..the back looks lower than the front...intrax springs....but it's just the wieght of my system wieghing it down

 

I hear a lot about Suspension Techniques springs sagging in the back, yet I have had them on two different Maximas now and never had that issue. I have Eibach springs and hated them. They rode awful, and the handling wasn't good enough to warrant the terrible ride and pathetic drop. Intrax springs are great for a lower drop and all, but I've never had them and only heard they are a bad ride. As far as the sagging, either you're putting the springs on the wrong ends or failing to recognise that the rear wheel wells don't arch as high as the front, a signature trait of Nissans. That kind of gives the illusion of the back sagging on mine, but if you look at the bottom of the car you can tell that it's just an illusion. It doesn't look so bad wiht Intrax because you have another .25" of drop, and with Eibach you have .25" or so less drop so no wheel tucks and it's hard to tell also. You should be doing fine with STs. If you're worried, have them professionally installed...

 

My Intrax sit a tad bit higher in the back. Looks soooo good. I dont see why the backs would be lower (Intrax OR ST for that matter) unless you put new springs on old/bad rear struts or something.

Having the back lower (or look lower) than the front is soooo gross. I see stupid lowered trucks all the time and the back is lower than the front and yuck (and I dont just mean because the rear wheelwell isnt as arched).

Same thing with raised trucks. I often see raised trucks and the back is lower than the front. Eww. Ruins the whole look.

 

i agree w/ ya james...

w/ my old system it sat even and now that i'm down to 1 12 and a tiny box the back is a hair higher...sits agressive and me likey
