You guys know much about MaxSpeed springs?
I can get a good deal on them, and I was thinking about buying them. I have a few questions though.
1. Anyone have these on their car?
2. Anyone have pics of the drop with these on their car?
3. Would it damage my struts or anything else on the car by just putting the springs on? (I plan on getting a camber kit)
Thanks for the info, and I wouldnt be asking, but the search function is disabled.

Hey
Hey, I have these springs and love them. I had a coil chopped from each spring before the install and I have had no problems. I am running them on stock struts. The drop is about 1.75 with the chopped coil, and the ride is not bouncy at all. I would definetly give them an A+ recommendation.
P.S- You can thank Luke for instant messaging me and bringing this thread to my attention.

- hydros would bend the maxima's chassis in no time.......air bags is the way to go. ANyways..... Maxspeed springs are comparable to H&R springs, most people like them as they claim to give an even drop with a fairly comfortable ride

NO after you get reinforcement it will be set. you just need to reinforce the max chassis. and i dont think is that bad. but anyway you should do hydros it will be well respected car after that.

there is no way in bloody hell Im gonna make my car look that ghetto.
Anyways, new question. After talking it over with someone, Ive decided to drop the car about 1.25 - 1.35 inches. All I've seen from Maxspeed is 2 inch drops. Anyone know a spring that will only give me that 1.25 - 1.35 drop?

whats wrong with making your car look like that. thats not ghetto, thats respect. and put some 19" rims on your car (chrome). you be in good shape. because with hydros you could adjust the hight of the car. so one day you could drop your car 2" another day 10" it depense how far down you want to go. you then automatically get chiks. good luck.

To get the drop you are looking for H&R's and Eibach's, maxspeeds are the area you are looking. It is always recomended in replacing your shocks/struts when upgrading suspension to help avoid early shock/strut failure. Maxspeeds don't give a 2" drop. The only spring that comes close to 2" are sprints.
Hydrolics..what the heck are you thinking. Now, thats not even a suspension, that would be 10X worse than riding a riced civic on bumpstops.

Yeah Im prolly going to go with Eibachs, not Maxspeeds. I was going to go for the full 2 inch drop, but decided not to.

why not 2 inch drop?
why eibachs?
I thought sprint gives 2 inch drop all four corners and is a little bit harsher than eibachs.
Eibachs do 1.2-1.3 inch drop, good for some other cars without 4x4 effect, but not very effective on maxima 4x4. I believe 2 inch drop is a must.

The ride on the Progress springs is supposed to be close to H&R, I'll let you know when I get my shocks in and get it all on. I am also putting Motivational rear mounts to restore some needed suspension travel in the back. Maybe you should post a new thread regarding Progress springs to get some feedback from others who actually have them on their cars. Or you could pm a moderator to search for you since us mere mortals cannot access it any longer.

Im probably going to stick with the Eibachs just for the amount that the drop is
