i ordered set of maxspeed springs through GD. and ive done some research about shox(struts) and i think i need to replace them at the sametime. i have 97 SE and about 91000 on them. which struts should i get? i think tokico is lil less expensive then kyb/agx struts are. and i know that kyb/agx struts are adjustable, is that mean i can raise my car up during winter and lower it during summer? if so would it be hard to adjust it? which one would you guys recommend? i live in chicago area and it's just horrible during the winter... please help me and let me know what you guys think.

thanks,
Tae

 

and how much for those struts and you guys got a website or anyplace i could order them from?

 

Wuzzup Tae.
Long time no see. I thought you sold your Maxima.
If you have 91000 miles, I'd recommend that you replace the struts when you replace the springs. I got my KYB AGX for $350 shipped. The Tokico & KYB GR2 are basically stock replacement. Will not hold the drop for long.

When they say that the struts are adjustable, they're talking about "stiffness" and not height. If you want adjustable height, go with a coilover kit. Cattman & Ground Control make coilovers for our Maxima.

Good Luck

 

sup Bobby.
yup yup long time no see.... nah i decide to keep it. too much of hassle partin out it. where did you get that kyb agx from? $350 shipped it pretty cheap aint it? let me know

 

hey Bobby,
your max is daily driven right? cause im kinda scared to drive during the winter after i drop it... hehe

 

Yes, mine is daily driven AND it is lowered 1.6" AND I have a front lip! It can be a challenge driving in the winter.

Just search the Classifieds section.

 

OT, but... hey, i remember you! I think I bought my stillen FSTB from you at the meet. didn't you want money to get new seats?

 

yup yup.... i sold you that stillen fstb. are you talkin about customleather? if so, yeah i got it couple months ago...

 

sweet. any plans for a pre-winter meet?

 

Yes, we are meeting August 24th @ Busse Woods in Arlington Heights
See the Midwest forums

 

I just bought my Maxspeed springs about 10 minutes ago, and now I am looking at struts. You say that the GR-2 struts will not hold the drop for very long. How come the AGX will make the car hold the drop any longer than the GR-2? The drop isn't controlled by the strut at all, is it? Help please!

 

that's what i heard. my maxspeed is coming in next week and my agx's are sitting in my room... i got agxs pretty cheap. at lease cheaper than shox.com i paid $350 shipped.

 

I don't think that's right... aren't there plenty of people on the org that have lowering springs along with GR2's? What do those people think about this? I am curious also, becuase I have heard that even on the softest setting, the AGX's are pretty firm.
