I'm going to be lower my Maxima with Tein S-Techs and KYB AGX Struts. I have heard different arguments about IF and WHAT else is needed for this low drop. I've heard people go with and without camber kits for these springs, and I just want to know peoples experiences and opinions on safely dropping the max with these springs. Besides the springs and struts, what else do I NEED to safely lower my Max?

 

make sure the front end is good. S techs will need some type of camber correction. I really feel those who have camber way way off have weak front end parts. I have s techs and AGX and i am replacing my whole front end...Ill post the alignment specs when i am done.

 

It's fine without camber bolts.. S-tech's on illuminas here. Performance shop would have recommended bolts if I needed them.. but they didn't..

 

dont forget dustboots and bumpstops and all of that common sense ish.

 

bumpstops? doesnt that come with the struts? what about stock ones?

 

the kyb dustboots have built in bumpstops. just get those if your old dustboots are shredded.

 

well i got my struts used so i dont know, if you want to use your stock stuff i guess it could work but that stuff is worn away and id sleep better knowing i had all new stuff. im going to go ahead and do so for my rear shocks and im going to have to change my strut bearings on my front right strut.

 

you should be fine without a camber kit. Most of the time it is your "Toe" that's being fixed more than the camber. But if you do find yourself needing camber kits... it shouldn't be off by a lot.

what struts you getting and what springs magikone? btw you put the cf hood on as yet?

thanks for the info ansap

 

i already have the struts and springs installed (about 2 months now) i replaced the boots and bumpstops in the front, my friend had a hook up but when i went to pick them up he said he didnt have rears so i had no choice but to use the stock boots for the rear which were ripped to hell. everything went okay for about 2 weeks, then i had a screwed up strut bearing from what gtr_rider told me cause i was getting a poping noise, (i did go pretty hard on a turn so that might account for it). you may want to look into strut bearing replacements also jus incase. i have agx and intrax, pics on my cardomain.

as far as my cf hood goes, yea i put it on and i think it looks awsome, i have a few pics on the cardomain but they arent that good, doesnt show the detail of the weave which looks great.

 

Thanks guys. One of you said the KYB Dustboots come with bumpstops (I need new dustboots anyways.) Where can I find these for the cheapest? Also someone said the common sense ish, thats what I'm talking about, what common sense ish do you recommend. Thanks again everyone.
