Where did the Maxima lose it's height?
Is there anything specific on those specs though? Like 92-94 SE? Or do those #'s correspond to all Maximas in those year brackets?

Probably the SE/GXE spring difference. The wifey's gxe seems to be a little taller then my SE was with stock springs. I know for sure the oem gxe springs are softer compared to oem se springs, her car is cloudy floaty compared to what mine was with the stock springs.

same holds true even on the 89-91 tho... dunno about ride height, but the springrates are pretty different between gxe and se... i swapped them to SE and it rides alot firmer now.

is this noticeable between when you sit down in your GXE vs sitting down in your SE? Like you fall down into the SE moreso than into the GXE?

This just doesn't make sense to me. It's wikipedia so not the most infallible source but regardless it's still a bit frustrating for those of us who have eibachs and kybs in our closets who don't know if they will get 1.2 inches of drop or what.

but then how do the Eibach springs lower 1.2 inches? You would think by now somebody would be on here complaining or bragging that his 91 GXE dropped 3 inchs or that his 93 SE gained an inch.

not really tho.....but i will have to say that, i have two buddies one is actually fat and he weight 240pounds and one is 6.5' and he weight about the same...and they both sit in my car (SE) my car looks lower compare to GXE ( when they both sitting in GXE too )....and i remember once someone was saying something to me about GXE AND SE that '' man GXEs are bigger than SEs and i said NO they r the same:S...but wen i bought GXE and found out that there is a height difference....then i understood wat he meant...GXE is a lil higher then SE (stock) thats why GXE looks bigger, thats about it.....but if u lower them both i think u have to lower GXE a bit more than SE to bring them to the same height....

Just out of curiousity...Has anyone ever seen or owned a Maxima with the "electronicly adjustable" suspension? I have been asked on several different occasions when buying parts if my vehicle was equipped with such. But I personally have never seen one or heard anything about that.
