Suspension Product search

Alright, after some budget analyzing, and some pleading to the wife. I've got some extra money to spend. And I'm plan on using it to upgrade the suspension on my Max

1. Anyone have some good links for KONI struts?

2. Does anyone know if HR makes drop springs for our Gen? If not, is Eibach 1.2" drop springs a good combo with Koni?

3. A few months back, I ran across a site that had frame stiffners that ran under the car. Anyone else run across this and still have the site?

4. Anyone know of a place to buy a Urethane kit?

Thnx in advance for any info.

As for the struts go to shox.com, they are cheap and have a package deal with the konis and eibachs, I suggest going to tirerack.com and ordering new strut mounts too.

For the frame stiffener you should go here http://www.mattblehm.com
and click on suspension mods.Hes got lots of other goodies too. If in doubt you can also ask opinions at 4dsc.com

That is all I got, hope it helps.

I think he meant subframe connectors..

For what it's worth, they made my car more stable "only" at +100 speeds.

Both good links, found a couple of goodies and blehmco. And that's exactly what I was looking for Anax. Wolfpack also gave me a site for getting the struts and springs I want. So all I need now is a place that has a full Urethane Kit.

look for the stillen body kit. don't buy it from stillen though as they are usually the most expensive.

Sorry for the confusion. I don't mean the body kit, I mean the Polyurethane Bushing kit.

H&R hasn't made springs for this car in about 5 years. If you can find a set, they'll be used, but you should be pleased with them.

poly bushings.. call up courtesy nissan for them. 800-527-1909. ask for Kaleb. they stock them.

Koni shocks... tire rack, brian (internetautomart), and severla other places have them.

subframe connectors (and they work very well below 100mph too!) can be found at www.warpspeedperformance.com
lower tie bar is my design. www.mattblehm.com go to suspension page.

Sweet, I've been after the bushings the most. I'm getting my koni's from either brian or shox.com. I think I'm going to settle for Eibach's 1.2". I don't want the car slamed so far I've got to major changes to get the alignment to come out right.

Thanks for everything

You'll be happy with the eibachs. makes a good difference in the looks but doesn't run into the alignment problems. sportiest ride as well.

deal with brian. he'll be more accomodating than shox.com. plus, you'll be supporting a fellow org member.

you'll need the drop with 18's
eibach will be suitable for the rims. just keep your offset in between 38-42 and you shouldn't have any rubbing issues.
