Finally installed coilovers - pics
 
Tein basic dampers that were sitting under my bed for a year which I bought for my old max. Finally installed them on my new 99 SE-L. Right now they are set @ about 3/4 the way down.

sdoherty_tjm 05-02-2006 09:41 AM

damn thats a big drop

Mxrider52 05-02-2006 09:52 AM

Looks good give us some measures on the amount of drop.

The Wizard 05-02-2006 09:56 AM

I like it. Nice... Is your max a stick? black leather interior? ABS? heated seats? If so, you have the ultimate car!!

What's next?

Capital15 05-02-2006 10:02 AM

Looks good! Crazy low. Rides rough??

wetzelman1 05-02-2006 10:06 AM

want some rims with that drop?

lookin hot

maximaintheface 05-02-2006 10:06 AM

my brother has some teins on his 01 eclipse and it rides like poop. even after a new alighnment and everything adjusted, even when they are as high as they go . how does your car ride?

Dexter 05-02-2006 10:10 AM

are those 15" or 16"? How do the MAX fare against speedbumps now? a front lip and some sideskirts would look sick on that max with that drop :hs:

ALSOUSA99MAXIMA 05-02-2006 10:11 AM

LOOKS GOOD!!!, but i am probably going to get flamed for this but i think its a bit to low.

They are 16". Being that low, it would be extreeeeemly difficult to drive with a front lip and sideskirts. It would look good though.

maximabebe 05-02-2006 10:54 AM

16" stock titanium SE-L rims.
I already have a lip & sideskirts, but I'm gonna have to raise it a bit to put them on. Won't matter though b/c when I install the bodykit, I'll slap on my 19's anyways, so it will still look badass.
Yes, 5 spd SE-L, rare color, black leather, ABS. (no heat in seating). I wish I had TCS.
Ride is a touch bouncy, NOT at all bumpy. Very tolerable considering the amount of the drop. Overall, I'm very pleased.

2 Da Max 05-02-2006 10:56 AM

damm now thats a drop.. good work

NCSU_MAX 05-02-2006 11:14 AM

looks great!!! i had mine that low for awhile and my friends made me raise it some bc they said it looked like a sled on the 5 spokers, haha.

ImmaSquashYou 05-02-2006 11:24 AM

looking good, hopefully u'll be luckier than me with the axles n crap. But nah, no way its too low. But i love when people are driving with body kits and lowered through the city, its like, scrape scrape CRACK!!!!!

ewuzh 05-02-2006 12:16 PM

+1 for Tein coilovers. I love mine. Drop is lookin good on the sweetest stock color evarr :)

HallKemar 05-02-2006 01:04 PM

get some bigger rims and your car will looking better.

90stanza 05-02-2006 01:15 PM

Drop looks great man.................................. What happened with your old max?

lilaclucymaxima 05-02-2006 01:18 PM

Too low 3/4 down for my taste, but congrats on the upgrade. How do the teins ride btw?

ThurzNite 05-02-2006 01:20 PM

Cool. Are those touring tires? Maybe upgrade tires to maximize your coilovers. :)

Does your mudflap or anything else scrape?

MaxxedOut624 05-02-2006 01:26 PM

I envy you on both of your cars...past and present. Looks great, cant wait to see what it will look like with your kit and rims on.

darklegend06 05-02-2006 01:26 PM

wow nice car and nice drop on it. How much did you get the coilovers for?

aapp81 05-02-2006 01:40 PM

Love the way it looks :thumbsup: but a bit too low for me. Maybe w/ bigger wheels... :doublethu

Lumberg™ 05-02-2006 02:11 PM

wow that looks awesome...lucky guy having such a rare car like that

maximabebe 05-02-2006 02:13 PM

I picked em up for $800 shipped through Southwest Autoworks a while back. Soon I'll have the 19's on and it should look kinda sick. Mudflaps scrape on occasion leaving parking lots. My old max in my sig pic got totalled by some young kid driving a SUV. I wasn't at fault. I'll put it this way, I pickup up the 99 SE-L just with insurance money from my totalled 95 SE. No money outta pocket.

DrTySOUFMaX23 05-02-2006 02:34 PM

niceeeeeeee...that's a big drop!! how much lower do u think u can go with out messing anything up? just curious..

JSutter 05-02-2006 03:55 PM

Meh, I know you wont keep it that low, but its way to low. Have fun ruining tie rods, steering rack, and axles for the time being. Lower is not better.

maximabebe 05-02-2006 04:08 PM

Just installed them, Definitely not keeping the car that low.

azn_s3nsation87 05-02-2006 04:47 PM

I got my front dropped lower than yurrs but my rear is high though, cuz i like the slanted look. I think yur car look good, just raise the back up around an inch, then it would look HELLA nice. Just drive slower when you drop it.

Damn, Thats whats up though

20" Max 05-03-2006 01:40 AM

What's up I'm new to the game but i think tha tyour ma looks wicked with that drop you put on it. I want to drop mine but difficult with 20" rims.

easter9053 05-03-2006 05:38 AM

Looks good man. That drop is hittin'. A little too much for my taste with the 16 in stockers on there. I know you are having some difficulty driving withe undercarriage hitting stuff. With the 19 in's you should be fine with that drop. Overall, it looks real good. But I think I have the real drop. All I needed was to put some fat girls in the back seat and I got a rear end drop. Yes, that note on the window is a for sale sign. I am selling the Max with the fat girls in it.

gtr_rider 05-03-2006 08:04 AM

wow, that is serious..

mendon99 05-03-2006 08:11 AM

too low, to the fact it looks worse imo. but coilovers rule, id like to get some.

thomas.989 05-03-2006 08:43 AM

That Drop is sick. The Car looks good. Don't rush your projects. You would get bored and want to do stupid things that makes your car look ugly.
