you need to give me those high 16" wheels, and i'll give you my 15's with 50 series tires. . . then you'll be dropped at least 1.5"

Check out Ngthing's page for a comparison of spring drops. Not perfect comparisons, but it's something. http://www.annulardesign.com/maxima/

Thanks for the radio. The best set in which i'm looking into buying is the eibach springs. The other thing is that you should change the shocks since when they put in the springs they have to take the shocks out. Also the benefit to this is that the shock gets use to the new ride due to the springs and if you were to put the new springs on the same shocks it will put more strain on the shocks and kill their life and eventually you will need shocks, so you'll end up paying double for labor. The best place I can recommend, is custommaxim.com, he gives you a 5% discount for being an org. member. If you want real stiff handling you need the springs $220.00, shocks $300.00 and suspension techniques sway bars w/ polyurethane bushings, i believe these go for $180 or so. Hope this helps.

Peace,
D-sta
