i just saw a youtude video of a guy making custom coilovers. has anyone try this method before? in the video he used ebay coilovers and grind down the factory structs where the factory springs seats on. it looks very easy to do and im tempted to try this. i have a local junkyard that has tons of 3rd gens.

 

link to video?

 

3rd gen suspension is too short to fully utilize coilovers, best to just get lowering springs

 

Here the video

 

i know 2 people for sure completed custom ones like that for 3rd gens, dont think the end result was worth it at all

 

since the set up of 2nd gen and 3rd gen are about the same, more then likely it would work out the same way it did for my 2nd gen. starts getting into it around post #31 http://forums.maxima.org/1st-2nd-gen...tention-2.html

This is how people do S13 coilovers on a Z31 in the front... except they cut the strut tube down all the way and weld a threaded tube onto it, then screw the threaded CO adapter into it, and then the S13 coilover threads into that. The Z31 front strut is similar to the Maxima's rear. The S13's front is similar to the maxima's front. Except both are shorter.
