rough ride and not much of a drop.

i had them paired up with gr-2's , its a inexpensive setup if you just want to loose the 4x4 look.

The ride at first seems harsh...but, not so harsh that I didn't get used to it.
BUT, I can't compare "harsh-ness" as I've only dropped with MaxSpeeds.

With any drop, the ride will suffer...I suggest finding someone local and deciding for yourself about the ride stiffness.

good luck!

the ride is alright. not too stiff, not soft. drop isnt much. im running on stock se shocks and i have no problems ...yet. mine squeak like no other on bad roads. its pretty annoying on freeways. i dont like mine as you can see. i suggest getting something better like progress and pair it up with good aftermarket shocks.

I think hes trying to find out if anyone had problems at all with them cause he is interested in purchasing some Maxspeed springs.

I was there for his install, he has maxspeeds with gr-2's.

not really any problems but a smooth ride, and a decent looking drop also.


but 1.5" and 1.3" should give a good looking drop. Maybe I'm too used to seeing pics with S-techs. . . .

you quoted me, and you weren't at my install -- I'm in Canada
anyhow, I suggest you try and arrange a ride in a lowered MAX, because, the ride will suffer from stock.

Sorry, I meant it to be for when Mdezzy said " I think hes trying to find out if anyone had problems at all with them cause he is interested in purchasing some Maxspeed springs."

that i was at JLiusifer's install, and that he already had the springs.
