Does anyone else's buttt sag?
Hey Guys,

I have always noticed with my Eibach/tokico blue setup, the back sags. Now that I have a new system in the trunk, it sags more. The front is noticably higher than the back. Any solutions to make them even besides cutting a coil off the front springs? I also get clunking noises when I hit some bumps or uneven pavement. THis only happened before when I had more than 2 people in the back seat. I guess my system weighs a lot. Help... Do I need new rear springs or struts?

Yep, unless you have coilovers. That is just how the maxima suspension is.

Yeah, definately how the car naturally sits, you either have to get springs that dont drop as much or cut a coil. I just solved that problem and took the system out...Barely any sag with the B+Gs...

I know what you're talking about. I haven't gone to the gym in a while and I noticed that my butt is hanging a litte low.

I was thinking about getting those coil spring stabilizers, the rubber ones. I put them in the rear of a Transam Fireturd and they looked good, but don't remember how it handled. Koni's have some upper perch thing for the rear shocks for towing (so i've read), but know nothing about them. If you look at the fenders on our cars, you can see that the front fender is cut out higher than the rear. So finger gap isn't the way to see if a car sits level, though it looks unlevel.

Take out your spare and get a flat fix kit. This should help somewhat, and it will make your 1/4 improve by .001! Hehe...
