actually, the front will be lower than the rear, with the stillen lip on a maxima w/ s-techs, it will guarantee to have some rashes or cracking due to the lip being maybe 3-4 inches off the ground.

i meant the front being lower, not the whole car in general, the s-techs will be an even and low drop, but the front bumper will always be lower than the rear. when i first got my springs and illuminas, i left it on 3 and havent touched it till this day..it will settle in in about a week or so...

I have S-Techs with a Stillen Lip Kit.. I love this set up..
I went with Teins cause they are the only ones who drop 2.2 in the front
and 1.8 in the rear, witch make the car sit evenly instead of lower in the
back than the front like Eibach, Sprint, Intrax, and H&R springs do..
TEin are the only ones who realized that maximas have a bigger fender well
gap in the fron than the back and correctly drop the Maxima to look even,
intsead of like a row boat.. I love my Stechs but Im gonna upgrade to Basics
or Ksports soon.. Im more then likely goin with Basics cause TEin has an established
name in suspension industry. Heres a recent pic. Ill have to take a better
strait angle shot, I dont have any of those yet.

Just get the bolts and have them ready at the alignment shop. If they're not needed just refund them. Every car will have different alignment specs so the answers will vary.

well i have camber bolts from H&R but the funny thing is when i was doing my alligment at my auto tech school on their allignment rack, the readings had to be adjusted for camber back to factory specs reading. s-techs and illuminas are cool but i may be moving on up to d2 coilovers soon.
