what size wheel and tire are you riding on? hows the ride? what shocks are you running with them?

i have tein super streets on my 240 and they are great so i stuck with the brand and got stechs for my max. they should be coming in this week. just wondering how they were and what size wheel and tire i can go with them.

 

i got 18's with 225/45...had them for about 8 months. The ride is def rougher than stock but I don't mind it. I've got them coupled with GR-2's

 

How much rougher would you say they are? Are these linear or progressive rate?

 

not sure on the rate, but you can feel the bumps in the road for sure. I kinda like that though, feels like I have more control of the car.

 

Have 18' wheels on tein s tech

 

well they just came in. were they a little or alot rougher than stock. lets say on a scale from 1 to 10.... 10 being very rough

 

stechs spring rates are 201/280 lbf/in or 3.5/5 kg/mm

 

i haven't been in many other cars with upgraded suspension or anything like that, so it's hard for me to compare, but i'm pretty satisfied with my S-Techs. There are some times when I wish I had stock springs in, but usually I find that it's really nice to have the Teins in.

I would say if 1 is stock ride, and 10 is unbearable, there are around a 3 to 4. maybe a 5.

 

S techs are a great ride. I have the illumina's with them and it is just right

 

alo tof it really depends on your struts.....i had s-techs on agx and i was not to impressed with the ride....coupled with goood struts.....they can be decent riding....they were deff better than my sprints

 

so what struts would give me the closest to stock ride? probably something damper adjustable?

 

When I had my Maxima, I had the S-Techs on Illumina Struts, and had 235/40ZR18 tires and with the setting on 3 front and back, it rode very firm, but I like firm because it makes you feel planted to the road, just like my 4Runner.

 

19's with Illuminas. I find them on the soft side. Should be stiffer.

 

I have s-techs and GR2's with 18's. They run smoother than the eibachs I think

 

S-techs with Illuminas set to 5-5 summer 3-3 winter.running 225/50R16s Much stiffer than stock but for my taste they could go a little stiffer esp in the rears. My other choice was eibach but I wanted the lower ride.
