Well after a year and a half of having these parts, I got them installed. The setup is Intrax springs and Koni strut inserts. It was a pain in the *** to put in the Konis, but its done nicely and we fixed the back brakes as well because apparently they didn't work and haven't worked for a long time. Anyway, I was expecting the ride to be really uncomfortable, but it really isn't and I like it better than it was before. The car stays firmly planted on the ground and is very smooth. Now for the pics:

Now I'm really startin to like the no spoiler look

 

That looks clean. I have been strongly considering Intrax and Konis as well so I will be very interested in your long term impressions. Good job, nice car.

 

thats the hot sauce!! took you long enough, hehe

 

looks sweet, enjoy it

 

hey

the images don't show up for me,

is cardomain down,

 

WOW... Looks real tight. Sits soooo nice with those intrax.

Heh, good location for the sticker.

 

 

sweetness, thats one max i dig the no spoiler look on.

 

Really like the clean look.

 

would tokicos be ok with intrax or would they blow? also do you need any special camber kits or anyhting like that?

 

My 1st max was that color, it was such a great car. Love the color and rims!

Really nice looking car man.

BTW, whats the profile rating on those tires, they look pretty small.

 

Car looks nice and clean. I don't think I have seen those wheels before on a 3rd gen and they look really good. I like the no spoiler look on SEs and also any car with a kit.

Personally, I would ditch the Intrax sticker, but that's no biggie. It's not like you have a long list of stickers somewhere on it.

 

NICE!!! I really like the no-spoiler look. Rims look really good too..
btw..is your front bumper original?

 

to max723: I'm sure tokicos will hold up fine unless you're racing daily
to supercross: the tires are 225/40/18
to aminus21: the bumper itself is original...but I re-painted it with the plastikote spray-on primer/paint/clear.

thanks to all for the comments

 

ok thanks man looks great! waiting to lower my max- first one was eibach/tok. it was nice but was looking to go fo something lower.

 

Another good looking 3rd gen. I think your car would be awesome with some smoked corners and e36 lights, it would compliment that color very well.

 

lets see some pics of cars with smoked corners and E36 lights

 

true that. looks good.

 

that looks real nice. i got a question tho. my 1990 maxima se sits very strangely. the rear sits very low, while the front sits higher. the front looks like its supposed to look with stock suspension parts, however the rear looks like its been lowered. the car is stock, except for tires and rims, and it looked like this when i got the car. it was grandmothers, and it only has 67,000 miles on it, but she really didnt keep up with repairs, so it still has the original shocks and springs all around. would you suggest changing the shocks and springs, or do u think it could be a problem elsewhere in the suspension? thanks for ur help.

 

Get the bodies out of the trunk and it should return to normal height

 

Looks good, I like the wingless look.

 

Sweet looking ride. I have an 89 max the same color and am wanting to lowering it. My struts are blown and I have a set of KYB's to put on but I am trying to figure out what springs to get. I know alot of people reccommend the Eibachs or Intrax, but I ve also seen B + G and Springtech. Any advice from all you Maxperts out there??

 

im looking at dropping mine on b&g's. they are more of a drop than eibch and are still progressive wound. im not sure if kybs would hold up to more than eibachs though. i thought i read they would blow. im still tryin to figure out if tokicos would be ok with a 1.6 drop.

 

Hi Max723,

Where did you read that? I don't plan on driving my car that aggressively and want something thats still comfortable for day to day driving but I like the lowered look. I am currently running 18" wheels with 235/40 18's on them.

 

i read it here on the forums a while back before i lowered my first car. i went with eibach/tokicos on my first max. handled great but i wanted somethin a little lower for my 5 spd. with eibach your wheel gap is about 1 or 2 fingers. from what i understood kybs were more of an oe replacement than performance strut/shock. if found that most people with intrax, suspension tech, etc were using konis but i dont wanna go through the hassle of cutting my stock struts

 

Looks nice. Good work. I'm on the Eibach/KYB combo. A little more bounce/floatiness than I had anticipated, but a marked improvement over OEM.
