Pictures of my lowered Max!!!

After many months of driving a 4x4 Max I decided that ive had enough. So I went ahead and lowered it with the Tokico Illumina kit from custommaxima. The pictures are on my cardomain site here is the link http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/494785

Please let me know what you guys think

His page said that he put in voltmeter, air/fuel, and tranny temp guages.

Nice car bro. So because I don't feel like looking up the kit contents - what exactly is the setup? Illumina struts and what springs?

I think they are the new springs made by tokico. How is the ride quality on them?

liqidvenom- the gauges I used for my pod are the autometer autolite tranny temp, air/fuel ratio, and voltmeter gauges.

Shift_Power- I am riding on Tokico Illuminas with the Tokico performance springs. Its the kit they sell on custommaxima.com.

spiff56747- You are right they are! The ride quality really isnt that much different than stock. The Illuminas really help out alot. I have them set on the #3 setting and they are just awsome! Settings #1 and 2 are just too soft for me.

denami- I really didn't take any precise measurements of the drop. I probably should have. There is about a 2 and a half gap all around now. The thing I like about this kit is that it gives a nice even drop. It may not be the lowest kit out there but it was just what I needed because ive got plans for a bodykit in the future

Wisky97SE- Yea I used to visited Altimas.net alot when I used to drive my Altima. In fact, I still do on occasion. My Altima has 188,xxx miles and its still bangin

Thanks for all the replys! keep them comming guys!

Looks very good. You've got a nice ride for sure.
As an experiment, try setting the rears to '4' and leaving the fronts on '3.' Having the rears a bit more firm than the front makes the car feel more stable, and reduces understeer in the corners. I have the same kit and I leave mine on 3 front, and 4 rear all the time. I love it, it's like a whole new car, but still rides well.
Enjoy.

Crimson Blaze owns? Uhhh.....not really serious are you? I know you don't see alot of them, but thats probably for a good reason. There so bright. Your color is nice thou.

PS: However, I do like his drop. Good choice.
