I've got a Stillen short throw shifter, a Pace Racing CAI, a front tower brace, Stillen rear sway bar, Tokico shocks, Eibach springs, and 17 x 8" Borbet wheels on my 99 Max. Been loving this setup for 4 years now (about 100,000 miles). Only problem is when I've got a full car of people and cargo...the ride becomes too jarring and I hit the bump stops frequently.

I think I need more suspension travel. Will stock SE springs fix this? I don't want my ride to become floaty like the stock suspension, but I'm tired of scraping my car. Suggestions welcomed!

 

H&R Springs will help. Do you have Illuminas or BLues? After 4 years your struts are prob blown.

 

I guess I've got blues...it was what Stillen was selling several years ago to go with the Eibach springs. The Tokicos say they have a lifetime warrenty on them, so I figured they'd last a really long time. What's the diff. between the H&Rs and the Tokico's in your opinion?

 

H&R's are springs to replace your Eibach springs

I suppose you can use your warrenty and get new BLues. But if you have hte $, buy the illuminas

The shocks are definately gone. But also, there isn't much travel in the rear suspension stock. Running Eibachs personally, the only thing that fixed that problem for me was by going with motivational rear mounts and turning up my rear Koni shocks. But I also hear that motivational rear mounts aren't made anymore.

Warranty the blues is one option, but if you don't want it to happen again I'd opt for Illuminas on a decently high setting.

 

I think my shocks are fine, although I'd definately replace them if I were to get new springs. My problem is that I now use my car more for business and frequently have 2-3 people riding with me, which creates a choppy ride on the lowered suspension....always has. Nissan wants $364 for a set of new OEM springs. Know where I can get a better deal on them?
