Looks good. Actually, looks the way the Maxima should have come. I hate how my car looks like it's got more ground clearance than many cross overs suv's, because of how damn high the car is stock.

looks super! When did you do the install? it should drop a bit lower within the next few weeks if it's been done recently. Get some large people to sit in the car!

Are you sure those are B&G's? They dropped pretty low when I had them. Ask Erica, her car is on B&G's and definately is lower then your ride.

I had just about a 2 finger gap all around on my car. Those springs dropped me almost 2 inches.

When people say that it still looks stock, please don't reply.

what struts/shocks you got in there? I have AGX. I had H&R's on before I got the B&G's....

B&G's are very thick, red springs...almost the exact color or the AGX, actually.

i have B&G's too wit AGX, put in about a month ago, didnt trim the bunpstops, car looks lowered to people who have a max or know how high the max is. the max unless u put on coilovers with a 2.5" inch drop or cut sum coils, is never gonna get that slammed look easily.
i had stock 16's when i installed the springs and now with 17's and a 45 profile tire, the gap seems a tiny bit more, also the back is slightly lower than the front even tho im an auto, but yea its a 3 finger gap all around pretty much

I have b&g's on stock struts and I have no sagging. I have maybe a 2 finger gap all around, the front sits a little lower then the rear. I guess I got lucky? I am 5spd.

I don't think pictures are a good way to tell. My car does not look lowered much in my pic or my profile. You have to see the car in person. My car looks 10 times better if you see the real thing, the camera does not do it justice.

I probably need a digital camera.

the car itself looks lower but the gap between the car and wheels still looks stock. You just need to get bigger rims....

I think the shadow present isnt helping the look of how low it is either. I will take some new ones in better light.

B&G springs are progressively wound; the coils are tighter and a slightly smaller diameter at the bottom of the spring; I wouldn't worry about lettering direction, check out the actual spring. And with B&G's you need to cut the bump stops for sure. Or use KYB boots.

I didn't cut my "bump stops", have a great sag-free drop, and have great handling. I am riding on stock struts, and the B&G's have been installed since last January. Surprisingly my struts are still alive and kicken.

i don't know what the heck everyone else is talking about... i can definetly tell that it has been lowered. i wish that mine was that low! it looks good, and i will agree on th fact that the back is alittle lower then the front, but it still looks good.
