Does anyone else feel like their Maxima rides too bumpy?
I got new struts last winter which made the problem worse.
Its like a truck, if I put a hundred pounds of "ballast" in the trunk it rides great. Does anyone else have this problem? btw, I got the Bilstein struts at a Goodyear Gemini center along with Regatta II tires. Maybe I should have went with genuine Nissan parts?

Mine rides slightly rougher than stock due to the Eibachs. However, it is nothing that I can't handle, especially when I blast those entrance and exit ramps!

Yeah thats one of the things that bugs me about my Maxima. I just borrowed my moms car for the past week to go to travel to school and she has a Subaru Outback. That thing rides so smooth, like you wouldn't believe! But then I came home and drove my Max and it felt like I could feel every little pebble that I drove over. But oh well, I still love the car, the power more than makes up for the bumpy ride.
