Ok guys all the parts to drop the Maxima are ordered. I got Tokico Illuminas and Tein S Techs shipped for $540. Should look nice with the Murano's I picked up.

Quick question. Is there anything else I should look at replacing while the car is apart, that usually gets done during lowering on these cars? Anything to check now that could be worn so I can have it fr when I got the car tore apart?

Thanks,
J

 

Good question! I would like to know too!

I'm jealous!

 

New rear shock mounts for more suspension travel

 

Other than the obvious stuff, like the strut mounts and whatnot - it is a pretty straightforward install - so there really isn't anything you can do that you couldn't do without the wheels off. Maybe your CV joints - as you'd be pretty much there for replacing those.

Good time to install SS brake lines or any kind of brake stuff since you'll be in there.

BTW, getting the front spring/strut assbly out is much easier if you don't have the fender, bumper, fender lining, or hood on the car...

 

where'd you get that deal? J/W

 

You have any of the top mounts stocked? That doesn't change ride height at all does it?

Should I change the front strut mount as well? If so anyone got a part #? Wheres the cheapest place online to get OEM Nissan parts?

Also, I pieced the setup together via Adventon, Parts Peddler, and Ebay.

 

Even though people complain about the ride on ground controls, I was able to get NEW GC coilovers and Tokico Illuminas for $500 I had issues with the company that sold me the coilovers, so I ended up getting them for free. And my uncle is a dealer for Stillen so I got the illuminas at wholesale price. Worked out good, 1/2 off what I should have paid for everything.
