fake edit: 4th line of DanNY's sig

 

this is what they look like using ground control coil overs ( note: these would be the rear set)

 

We need a smiley where he jizzes all over the place.... find out price asap.

 

so what do u think about that ... you can get them in any color but those look phat cause they stand out like look at me i have coilovers on my max he you dont lol

 

Color isn't a problem.. I can paint whatever color I want. It's a matter of what I want my setup to consist of... Tein would be nice... but I like Koni as well.... OH the choices.

 

Anyone can do that much. those are Ground Control sleeve-overs on the OE rear strut assemblies. I did that years ago.

what shocks? what damping rates?
what spring rates?
what spring lengths?
how much adjustability?
how much suspension travel is left once they're on the car and set to a nice height?
what do the do to correct all of the other issues that come up on the front end when you try to make the car actually turn.

not to burst your bubble, but anyone can do that much. call up ground control, order some sleeves, and start cutting.
the fun part is getting the ride height, spring rates, shock damping rates, and THEN fixing all the other steering issues that come up with it.

been there, done that, blown several sets of Konis in the process. still not willing to release anything as a final product.

 

i was just saying for thoese who like that type of sh?t

 

talk is cheap

wheres the pics?









Just playin

 

hey he said it can be done right and its from a shop so it would be for them to figure it out not me im not doing the damn thing for this kind of reason.... i just posted what the shop told me and showed me i never said i was selling the kit... if i get them and some one thinks the price is right then ill get them a set thats all man ... sorry to but ur bubble



not trying to be a d?ck but thats what i have to say

 

so how much do they want?






IBlotsofinterestbutnomoney

 

in the 3rd gen forum..........naw

 

I never realized how much of a PITA it is until I started selling ubercool stuff




so hows the stillen swap kits coming? I haven't heard anything about them for a while.

 

as matt said, the onlypart that piqued my interest on that pic was the upper mounts.
everything else (springs, sleeves etc..) is already available

 

I'm just telling you how it is man.. if you want to sell them (or want them to sell them), you're gong to have to address ALL of these issues. and here's the kicker.. even for a cheapo ground control type setup with Konis under them, it's STILL goign to cost more than a set of JIC or Teins. do the math... Konis are about $600 a set. ground control parts are $400 a set. you still need OEM strut housings and new upper mounts. Add $300 for all that. now get someone to engineer the system, put it together, and actually make a small profit on it. you're at $1300 in PARTS. if they plan to make any money at all on the deal, they're going to have to sell it at $1600 absolute minimum. nobody in their right mind would buy a setup like that for $1600!

And that doesn't even begin to address all of the bumpsteer issues and other problems you see on the car once you've installed them.

 

i'm thinking that you THOUGHT you found something cool but it's pretty old news to the OGs here...but you think you're cool that you thought you "found" it. (i'm just kidding here)

like i said >>YOU<< get it put on your ride..then let me know how it is.

 

Those top plates are just generic top plates that will require modifying the strut mount to fit. They are more designed for a BMW than a maxima. Infact, they look very much like the same ones ground control offers for the E30 line.

 

[QUOTE=Matt93SE]... $1600![QUOTE]
That's how much I got my max for!!!

 

Most likely, that's what they are because everything else is ground control. the Z top mounts may be similar, but that's nothing that a few minutes with a drill can't fix.

 

[QUOTE=SeaMAX][QUOTE=Matt93SE]... $1600!that's 8x what i paid for my max and 6.4x what I paid for my 96 teg (not what I have into it though. I've only got about $25 into the car at the moment )

 

man ive sold like 20- 26 kits already to like the mexicans around here cause all of them own a maxima lol....but yeah the pics are on my not updated car domain site http://members.cardomain.com/z31max thats how i have to money to do the coilover set up .. im not trippin on price.. if i want it then i get it..

 

canucks.......

if youre talking about this kit......all i can say is wow this is the worst kit i have ever seen in my life for a maxima....WORST.



its like something you see on those make fun of ricers websites where they paint cardboard and put it on cars.....

 

Ever see Tim Meadows impersonate Tiger Woods in Sat Nite Live? The front bumper reminds me of his teeth in the skit.

 

realistically...if you're not trippin on price big daddy you wouldn't be rocking a car that's 13-14 yrs old.

 

.

 

thats not my car .. i drive the f150 in the front yard.... thats not the kit on my car thats the kit i sell... i drive the f150 in the grass right there yes the red one...the max is just a project to have fun with ...what else you driving besides that max homie... the white max is a girls car that got the kit and wanted me to shaveit in and the door handles.. know what ur talking about before you talk ur sh?t



triple g max

 

Am I understanding this correct? You rock the F150 in the front yard?

 

why do you rock a truck? id just drive it.....over that gay body kit.

 

well anyways this thread is for the coilovers not the kit... the guy said its 900 for the complete kit with ground control coilovers... anything else i have to ask ....the plates on top are the camber plates he said the clearence is good it wont rub and it take car height from stock to 4inch drop depending on coilovers u choose

 

why do you want coilovers then if you dont even have a maxima?

 

homie the first max that is shaved with the rims and painted front is mine... the white one in the street is some girls car and i drive the red truck

 

ok well as your question goes, i think matt answered what other questions youre gonna need to ask.

i see you have a max, my bad. but you have one of those kits on it though right?

 

nope its from a different car ... thats other kit is made for the max

 

900...with what struts?

 

Gabriels

 

I'm confused..... which maxima has the turbo in it?


Just to stay on topic, I'm also curious as to what struts will be used.... OEM?

 

i want monroes!

 

those would bump the price to $999 though

 

oem struts... i guess but ill ask to make sure...to the ??? which one has turbo ... the one on page one ... mine... but its getting bmw rear light shaved in, 5 speed convert.,rear disc brakes, and more engine work like turbo, injectors, ect....
