haha.. ben dont lie. my max is fresh as hell! hahaha
nahh jk. i still cant belive you guys trip about a lip on a fender. anyways. thanks for the comments.
im glad my max is finally growing on you guys. its an acquired taste. haha.

the roof racks i got for free from a buddy of mine.. theyre ghetto rigged on. (im sure you guys dont expect anything better from me. haha)
i just put them on with double sided tape. theyre "highland" brand. its just autozone hella cheap racks. i doubt i would have bought them.. but since i got them for free. i had to put them on. haha

Get some wider tires....I like your NASCAR MAXIMA!!! I wonder what some fender flares (like a truck...Bushmaster IIRC) look like on that max......I always envisioned using those wheels on a Crown Victorian.....but I think it's alright you just need wider tires to look more aggressive......NICE!!!!!

Wheels don't look bad. See what you can do to adjust camber and when you drop it just run some more camber.

Yeah Just an opinion, I'm fckin with those wheels, with a smaller profile and some Ground Control coilovers on full slam would look old school.

maybe its part of that old school cellphone speaker you have?

looks like a washer fluid nozzle for a rear wiper which 3rd gens dont have, my buddy modded his Golf so that the nozzle shot backwards 10 feet and he would "pi55" on my 3rd gen in high school

It's not sarcasm! I've always been a fan of those wheels! But Bushmaster has some fender flares and I think it would gave you a more aggresive look along with wider tire......where's the sarcasm? You know NASCAR runs a wheel similar to that....That's why I call it the NASCAR MAXIMA......

Do it. Save up your money get some GC's and Koni yellows and slam it and get smaller tires and take it to an alignment rack and have them do -2.5* all around. STANCE.

Eibachs arent Chrome approved, Ksport are i thought Ksports are as low as you can go with a 3rd gen but i guess Intrax springs are lower which is scary

ive been rolling on my drop for over a month without a alignment or camber bolts, my tires have JDM uneven wear

you cant get Koni or Tokico struts for 3rd gens anymore, theyre discontinued. I called nearly every supplier in the US and Canada, my buddy checked everywhere, and a guy at Shox.com checked everywhere and all we could find are KYB GR2

Yeah actually Ksport springs would be a good way to go. But if you're way gangsta just go with Intrax springs.

its awesome being so low on smooth roads, but the residential roads here are HORRIBLE. i dont think theyve ever redone my neighborhoods roads, just half-**** fill in the deep potholes every couple years.

i want to see a 3rd gen on Intrax, on stock wheels my fronts are tucked and the rears are flush to the fender, anything lower would probably rub i think

I had intrax on my max with stock wheels before i sold it. It looked really nice and there was no rubbing or anything.

I dont think its possible to run flares on the 3rd gen because the rear door and the fender are to close but hey maybe it could be done lol

Chrome I wish you were my next door neighbor so we could drool over tow hooks and AE86's together!

you could just shave the rear door handles, and flare over the rear doors. you wouldnt be able to use the rear doors then though

AE86 FTW
