I was looking at http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaShockMounts about shock mounts and it said that the front strut housing can be modified for increased travel. However, when I click on the hyperlink in the text, it takes me to some strange site. I'm just confused, I guess. Is there anything that can actually be done to the front mounts/housing to increase travel, whether it be a quick mod or actually buying something?

thanks for anyone who can clear this up for me.

What Motivational is doing is modifying the struts cartridges to handle shorter piston rods. Nothing is being changed on the mounts like is possible on the rears. For the $$ it's usually better getting shortened coilovers.

A 6th gen owner modified his lower mounts on his front struts by drilling new holes in them, dropping it down about an 1.5" as I remember. There was a bit more to it than that, but you get the idea.

3rd gen koni reds are shorter than 4th gen konis. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....t=front+travel
i never got around to doing it. since the reds are not externally adjustable, i was just thinking of using the 4th gen yellows and cutting off the threads on the bottom and securing them differently.

is it at all possible or even beneficial to add MZMTG's rear mounts to the front?

The 4th gen Koni's can have the bottom of the insert "removed" (shortened) then welded into a cut strut housing. That's what I have.

FYI, rear mounts are very different from Front ones (front's must turn with steering)

ok, i figured that they couldn't be used but i'm just lookin for any option to increase front travel.

I don't remember what stock looks like off hand, but maybe you could trim the bumpstops to provide another 1/2 to 3/4"?
