Who here has Eibach springs and Tokico shocks?

Which specific springs (Pro-kit,etc.) and shocks (Ilumina) do you have?

How do you like them?

How is the ride?

Any problems?

Do you notice any difference?

I'm thinking of upgrading the suspension on my GLE and wanted to get some opinions.

Thanks!

I have this setup on my 95 SE (Pro kit w/Tokico HP). Rides great on surface streets. You will feel the bumps and any large potholes. It's definitely tighter around corners. If you are going from a GLE, believe me, it will feel very different. No more cushy ride and going over speed bumps at 5mph.

Hmm...Different...What do you mean?

I just got 17 inch tires and the car feels "wobbly" at times, mostly through bumps...I'm hoping the springs and shocks will do the trick...

Am I going to have to stop completely at speed bumps now?

Thanks!

I had that setup once upon a time. The ride is OK, not as good as H&R or ST. The drop isn't low enough. Handling is ok, no roll, but the center of gravity is still high. I like my current setup, although the ride isn't as pleasant.

Anyways, Tokico only makes their HP Blue shock, not the Illumina.

Yes, definitely do the springs at least. I ran my 17's stock for 2 days, and the car was all over the place. I did my springs first. After my shocks wore out then I got Tokicos. Tokico and Eibachs (or H&R) is the best overall setup.

Pluses:
1. Lowering is not extreme, so driveways and speedbumps not a problem.

2. Better ride than Sprint(harsh), Intrax (bouncy), or coilovers (harsh).

3. Great for everyday driving.

JMAX95,

What model Maxima do you have (GXE, SE, GLE)?

Thanks for the info...
