Dropping the Max
I'm curious about a few things regarding dropping my Maxima.
1. Why do you drop the car? Is only handling improved or does the car accelerate better due to less wind resistance? 2. What's a good drop for a Maxima running fifteens? 3. What are coilovers and why would you chose them over aftermarket springs/shocks? 4. What would be the best combination of springs and shocks (or just coilovers) to achieve a 1.5-2" all-around drop? Comfort is important however, I'm no stranger to a sporty suspension. I've read the stuff at http://maxmods.dyndns.org/ but wanted real-person perspectives on these questions; if you have a particular set, please comment. ~THT |

1) I highly doubt it would do anything to wind resistence. Reduce wheel hop maybe though? 3) Coilovers let you adjust the ride height. |
1. dropping your car is for looks and handling. I doubt that you save all that much on wind resistance....not enough to matter.
2. What do you mean what is a good drop for a maxima running 15's? I mean, I am @ 15.1 right now, and I have not dropped mine yet. 3. coilovers are a spring shock setup that are integrated into each other. They are really stiff....I mean, really really stiff. I would not choose them over springs shocks/struts. 4. If you are wanting the ultimate comfort, you would probably need to stick to the H&R's with some Tokico Illuminas or something like that. It would drop it about 1.5", but would be very comfy. Handling would be better too. However, there are a lot of spring choices around that drop. I have heard that is makes more difference what struts you use rather than springs. |
Sorry, I meant 15" rims. Thanks Brudaddy.
