Well the day is finally here. The Chariot ( a 1997 Nissan Maxima SE ) is going in for a Springs and Shocks install. I have driven on the OEM shock and springs for 127,000 miles. The boots are rotten and the car is not handling well.

Im getting the Eibach Prokit Springs installed along with KYB AGX shocks and the KYB boots. Im hoping I will notice a serious improvement in the handling department.

Question: What can I expect ? I don't expect a noticable drop, but I do expect a better handling Maxima. If you have the time, what all can I expect? Is this going to be cool ?

Also any do's or dont's after this install ...?
Almost forgot -- what settings should I go with in front and back? Im looking for great handling, and im not as concerned with rough ride-N

 

Expect increased noise. That way if you get it, you won't be disappointed.

 

Be ready to be bounced around on bumpy roads and of course expect increased noise. But now you can have a lot more fun driving fast: high speeds, twisties, freeway entrances...the road is your playground..

 

youre definetely gonna get a rougher ride, but of course with that comes much better handling.. you'll be amazed how fast you can take turns now, the only real limit now is the traction of your tires..

i remember when i first installed my suspension, i was going on a twisty road that had 30 mph turn ahead signs, and i was taking them at like 60 without a problem there's gonna be a lot less body roll also, but you might also get clunking noises from the springs as well

 

handling will be night & day. you will notice the drop, as you also will feel it.

watch out for the big pot-holes.

it all depends if you drive on good or bad roads.

 

bump. what about the settings for front and back?

 

Clunking...ahh, i hated clunking from my last car, do most of you guys get clunking?! Im planning on B+G's...
