Wow... and all this time, everyone's been saying that it wasn't "out there". Hey Maxininct, do you have a link or something we can refer to?

What ever happened to the theory that coilovers off a Nissan Stanza would work for a maxima?

Show me an application that fits the 3rd gen and I'll buy you dinner and all the booze you can drink in a night.
Hint.. 3rd gen Maxima is NOT the A31 as so many people like to think. the A31 is the old school Cefiro, A32 is the 4th gen Max and Cefiro.

lol who said anything about a A31? I would not post something about this if I hadnt seen it before, i seen the bid for it on ebay like 2 months ago? Of course i go on ebay now and there nowhere to be found. oh well. Call Tein and see if they have application for 89-94 maxima, if they dont then it must have been a misprinted bid listing.

Don't sweat it, bro... happens to the best of us (yeah, even YOU, Matt.. LOL)

Oh, and on a side note to Brian - I think he meant to say '...for a Sentra', because I remember that thread waaaay back in the day. And if I had $500-$700 of "blow money", I'd try that theory out... but I'm not "bling-blinging" like that...

Coil-overs are better, but most people here want it for the fact that it adjusts the height to their liking but fail to see that a coil-over system is not only about that, there is a lot more to it then dropping it all the way down, such as corner balancing and such for the real use at a road course or auto-x event.

It's Stanza. If it were Sentra, we'd be sporting COs left and right.

Yeah, this car is goin to be an everyday driver and come winter, I don't wanna be the neighborhood plow!! The CO's for the stanza where from a place that actally custome fit Co's for cars. (groundcontrol?) I think a few people on the site pushed and asked for a max aplication, but it fell through. And as Jeff brought out, noone had the balllz to put out that kinda money for not a sure thing with the stanza fittment. More talk+No action=Maxima.org, including me. LOL!!
