dood: 3001posts/19posts = a difference of 2982 pieces of experience over you. This is a guy who has worked hundreds of hours on every maxima there is, and also not one to spout useless information unless he knows its true or accurate.

maximase86, jeff92se, matt93se, danNY, and craig b are just a few of the people you should never argue with.

I made no assumption about anyone. I just stated my preference, thats' all. If anything, the superfishy moderator is making an assumption about me, and a negative one, saying that "he probably knows more than you will ever know." That's pretty nasty, especially coming from a moderator.

the eibachs are great but if i could do it again i would get intrax because i would like them to be a little lower...next maxima i buy will get coilovers instead

the Eibach's do a 1.2" front and rear, and i hear the Intrax lowers the front 1.7" and the rear 1.5". I would like the front and rear drop to be equal. Why? Because with the Eibach's, I notice that most of the time, when the car is parked, the front of the car seems to sit lower than the rear, and that's with the front and rear lowering being equal. So, I would imagine that with the the Intrax, the front would sit even lower than the rear than is the case now with the Eibach's, which wouldn't look good. I could be wrong though

Oddly, even with the even drop, the rear end on the 3rd gen still sticks up a little. From most people I've seen use the intrax drop, the difference between front and back is not that big. If anything, it's better for the car to sit a little higher in the back, then a little higher up front.

hmmm did you not see my reply? I even told you to look on my cardomain page so you could see the difference in intrax and Eibach. Intrax is 1.75 front and rear not 1.7 & 1.5.

look up a little higher for my response. BTW the sig pic is with my Intrax installed.

edit:

Ok here are some comparrison pics so you dont have to go to my page.

My car with Eibachs:

It just depends on how low you want to go.

Michael

Its not too bad. Someone on this board had stock wheels and tires with sprints and it looked fine.

I have some pics of my car on intrax with 15s. They are not stock wheels but they are 15s none the less. I had them on the car while I was doing work on it because I didnt want to mess up my 17s.

Here is a pic:

i can't notice any difference in the heights of Eibach and Intrax. I'm pretty sure intrax is 1.7 and 1.5" front/rear, not 1.75" for both. I got these figures from their website. Oh, and I love what you did with your headlights, adding the BMW lights. Check your email, I asked you a question about that.

Michael

iTrader: (21)

check their site again...you are wrong I am right...I know all . They actually have them listed as 1.7 NOW but they used to list them at 1.75. I know because I did a LOT of research before I got mine a year and a half ago. If you go to Summitracing.com they still have them listed at 1.75. I swear I dont know why this comes up all the time but for some reason people think they are 1.7 1.5 when it doesnt state that on their site and I honestly dont know where it comes from besides Bryan and his misinformation on his site .

Link to Intrax


You seriously cant tell a difference in those 2 pics?

You can see daylight between the tires and the fender well on the Eibach pics. The tires are actually tucked a little in the Intrax pics.

I can tell difference easily. In person its even more noticable. Let me put it this way. I could get 1 or 2 fingers between the fender and tire with the Eibachs. I cant even get one finger in there now because the tire is actually tucked a little (meaning up in the fenderwell) not much but it is. Its only half an inch but it is noticable.

anyway if you cant tell the difference then it shouldnt matter so just get the Eibach for handling reasons.

I replied...the answers are in my FAQs on page 9.

yeah, I have the Eibachs already on my car. So you're saying the Eibachs are better for handling? What about the quality of the springs themselves? I just have a hunch that the Eibachs are better in that regard. The reason I'm considering going to Intrax is for the look. But if the Intraxes are of less quality and if they handle worse, I won't do it

Michael

iTrader: (21)

Intrax is a high quality spring. They are just as good of quality as Eibach. They will handle really well too but since it is a lower ride then it will probably be a little stiffer. I loved the ride much better than I did my Eibachs but I cant compare the 2 because I had old worn out stock struts on the Eibachs and I put new struts on the Intrax...just not a fair comparrison doing it that way.

I know of 3 people (including me) that went from Eibach to Intrax and all of us liked the Intrax better as far as looks go.

Chris91SE is one of the others...




Check his site and look for the differences

it comes from their paper catalog.
BTW I changed that to 1.7 both on my site a while back.
and my name is with an "I" not a y!

Michael

iTrader: (21)

sorry I am used to spelling it with a Y because thats how my cousin spells his name.

I figured you had changed it by now but just had to mess with you a little. You know someone other than Shawn.

do 3rd gen maximas have mcpherson suspension? Cause I heard that cars with mcpherson suspension, if the control arms are below parallel, then the handling of the car worsens.
