YAY my picture shows up woohoooooo look at that stock MAX!!!! YES!! :-)

 

It has clear turns and aftermarket rims, so technically it isn't stock, but good to see a sig picture.

 

Those wheels look a whole lot better on the car than I thought they would. Looks great, now drop some $ for the tint.

 

another 4x4! but looks good... get that thing tinted and lowered ASAP!

 

I know i got to lower my $hit, for the tint i dont know what i wanna do i want to go dark in Mass where u can only go 35% but it doesn't look dark enough to me i wanna go darker need to find inspection station that will approve hehe :-) And for lowering to i need to buy anything else besides springs? Im getting H&R do i need tokico shocks right away?

 

Get the struts while you are at it. I'm making the assumption that you are still on the stock suspension. Your OEM struts won't tolerate lowering springs for a really long time. I'm getting lowered next week, and am changing the springs AND struts.

 

How much did it run u medic? for all the stuf springs,struts,shocks?

 

Don't know, my brother bought them for me because he destroyed 2 of my AE rims (I have the SEs now) and took the other two off my hands. He got H&Rs and Konis. I could ask him. Should bee more than 500 though. BTW, struts and shocks are used interchangibly, but cars come with one or the other. We have struts.

 

So all i need H&R springs and tokico struts thats it?

 

I would replace the strut bearings too. They make noise if they are worn significantly.

 

if I was you guys, I would go with sprint springs unless you are going to put a body kit on. the H&R is not low enough. I have a friend who has sprint/koni and his car is the perfect height and I don't think he scrapes anywhere...

 

I am going to get the stillen body kit do u suggest i put it on first then lower the car and how much should i lower the car?

 

I was going to get the Stillen kit in the group deal, so the H&Rs would have been right for me.

 

i have the body kit and I'm not lowered. You're car will look 10 times better with the kit alone.. I'm kind of thinking that I would go with the H&R because that way you'll still be able to drive it in the winter and without scraping... but I still kind of like the lower 2" drop that you get with sprints..

 

The cost for labor is the same for replacing just the springs or both springs and shocks (since all need to be disassembled in the process), so I would get it all done at once.

 

What part of MASS are you from?
Your car looks sweet, I like the rims.

 

It's a tradeoff between comfort and the look. I couldn't live with a car that rode as stiff as people say the Sprint/Koni setup rides. It seems to me to be more of an all-out performance setup. My car's a daily driver and veteran of many long highway trips, and it's got a lot more long trips to go. The H&R's give a good look and (relatively speaking) comfortable ride, and that's why I'm going to go with them when I scrape together the funds.

 

Im from Western Mass Greater Springfield Area i live in a hick town called "Belchertown" go figure..But i go to college in Smithfield Ri, Bryant College about 10 mins away from Providence so I am 50% home and 50% there thnx for the comment on the rims! ur car looks tight with all matching clears and all blacked out. I wish i had a sunroof :-( oh well can't complain :-)

 

I know what hick town you are talking about. I went to UMass Amherst, so it's kinda close.
BTW, are you going to NJ meet June 3? About 6-7 people from MA are going so let me know if you are interested. We are trying to set up a caravan.

 

What time, where do u want to meet and when will we be leaving thats all i need to know and i can tell ya thnx!

 

Me and a couple of other guys will be leaving Boston at 8:30am. We are meeting some people on MassPike, not sure where exactly, but will find out.

 

Best to meet me at Exit 5 Chicopee, u guys have cellys right? would be the easiet way doing 70-75 it will probably take u 1 hour to get to the exit and id be there, Im definetly up for the trip All i need to know is when do u plan to leave the meet, i might have something to do at night work etc..but just get that info to me thnx

P.S. what would i have to bring?

 

You go to school right across the street from Fidelity down there. Here is the deal with the caravan, if you are coming from Springfield, it is better for you to wait for us at the RT 84 toll booth. Just go thru the booth and pull to the right where the truckers park. We'll confirm the 8:30 departure from one of the Mobil stations on the Pike for guys East of 84. You should probably meet get to the booths down there at 9:00 to be sure you don't miss us. Let me know what you think.

 

So u guys are going down through CT yes?? Yeah sounds good i can just wait at the Springfield Exit on the Right hand side and ill see u guys when u come through. K thnx.

 

Cool man, I'm gonna send you a private message with my celly #. I think there'll be around 70 cars at the meet. Now if I can only make Steve(dmbmaxima88) go with us, he lives in Palmer, exit 8 on MassPike.

 

Whooah!!!! Don't do that, you'll miss us. You should drive to Sturbridge to RT 84 and meet us at that booth on the right side. Will that be cool for you?

 

Hey ILoveMyMax, I like the color of your car......I was hoping to find one that color but I didn't. Anyhow, thanxs for posting the pic of the 4X4 Max with rims now I know what mine will look like with rims and not lowered. Ya know I have a choice to either lower it and keep stock wheels or get wheels and not lower it. I think I'll choose to get the rims........:

 

Wrong choice Sarah. We all know that GXE rims are the best

 

Alright i know what your talking about deezo on the right where the truckers r, yeah i will definitely be there, just looked at the calender June 3 is sunday so i got nothing to do, So ill just call i think its Andy that sent me the celly ## and ill be on the right see u guys there peace

 

thnx sarah, i didnt like the color at first but it has grown on me :-) i was hoping for silver or black but beggars cant be chosers :-)
