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.






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?

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?
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.Originally Posted by Dexter
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
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.

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!!!!!
Cool. Are those touring tires? Maybe upgrade tires to maximize your coilovers. 
Does your mudflap or anything else scrape?

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.
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.
I'm nutty for Nissans
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.

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.

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.
Member
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.

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.
