hey guys, i have a 98 max SE and for some reason, my rear rides lower than my front, i was wondering why that would be. could my struts or shocks be bad? let me know. thanks

that just the way the 4th gen maximas are. the rear does ride a little lower than the front. thats why if you wanna drop your car, the springs that give your car the most even drop would be the tein s-techs, dropping 2.2" in the front and 1.8" in the rear. thats what i have and my maxima is dead even..

 

There are several springs which drop your car evenly. Stock springs however are not even. Compare different springs and see which ones are even for what you want out of your suspension. http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaSprings

BTW Sprints are uneven. If you want a really low drop and an even ride then S techs are an option but coilovers are a much better option. S techs tend to be too soft for how low they are.

 

are you on a hill? jk. do you have a system? oh, and this is a question to anyone who knows, does a blown strut/shock cause a change in ride height?

 

Progress springs seem to have a pretty even drop on them too. I dont own them, but since I am considering them for my car I have seen some nice images of them in action.

 

The stock springs are not even. Most people don't notice since they are so 4x4 to begin with. A blown strut/shock might cause sagging on some suspension setups but I doubt on ours. It would be uneven from side to side too.

 

Actually, it is not the car that is lower. It is just the way the fenders are shaped that make it look that way.

 

The Q45 has that to an extreme, I always think the Q45s look like they have a trunk full of sand...

BMW's as well.

 

ill tell you how they look in 3 days

 

I have Eibach with AGX struts. I don't have any particular problems as far as I know. But my car seems to sit noticeably lower in the back, and I don't have any big stereos or stuff like that. Even when I judge by the lower frame of the car, the rear looks to sit lower on my car by about a half inch.

I think it might be spring sag. I have an extra pair of H&R springs that I may switch to.

 

i have a few friend with lowered BMWs, and the rear tire is tucked under the fender while the fronts are low, but not inside the fender...

 

Cars need a taller opening n the front consdering u have to be able to turn. My max is uneven due to my system.

 

all i have is one 12" and a 600 watt amp so it should not do that. i have POS Dropzone springs thinking it would work but it didnt so i have to wait for the cash to get coilovers. anyone know of some coilovers cheap?

My max is lower in the bacck as well. I think it's the stockc suspension. I plan on lowering the car soon so hopefully it will even out.
