In the December issue of SCC there was an add for "Ricky Racer". It's some company that makes a bunch of different spring applications and stuff. They have coilovers in the ad for 279 a pair and it says they have them for every car. I was just wondering if anybody else saw this and talked to them about it. Anybody ever even heard of this place?

Doubt it.......

Every other car than a 3rd Gen MAXIMA!!! the <b>rear suspension setup</b> in our gen Maxs prevents us from getting real coilovers made!! Maybe you could just have some custom made ones for the front, but not worth the trouble!!! Damn NISSAN!!!! :bawl:

There is an ad in the December issue of Sport Compact Car by a compnay by the name of Ricky Racer. The ad implies that they might make a coilover for our cars.

clearance is very close in the rears, but it's also the design of the struts themselves..
the whole spindle/axle assembly is attached tot he bottom of our rear struts, which is why you can't buy aftermarket struts for our car- you can only buy cartridge inserts.

about the only way to add coilovers to the car would be to take a set (or three) of rear struts to someone and have them custom done. I'm not expert on coilovers, but I know it wont' be an easy job.
