Ever get the urge to take a sledge hammer and smash the crap out of you beloved maxima?
Well I did today.

For the last few months I've viewed my max as "transportation" and been out of the .org community.
Today as i was replacing my rear pads I snapped the guide pin bolt. That was just the start.
I need new rotors, calipers (rear ones are most likely seized) and springs (2 are had snapped and I didn't even notice) and shocks/struts(almost rusted right through).

For suspension I'm looking for a coilover system, not too harsh with adjustable bound/rebound. Im looking at the Ksport or the Tein Basic. Any other options? or would a non coilover setup be a better bet? (bad roads)

For brakes im interested in a bit more stopping power that will fit under stock 16"s. Ive heard talk of J30/Q45 calipers working with out much modification? Any suggestions for a mini bbk setup that would fit the 16s?

current setup 98 SE / ES bushings/ slotted rotors/ SS lines/ stock springs struts shocks

Thank you for taking the time to help out a frustrated maxima owner.
please give me all the .02$ you got

 

I think the J30 setup is a pretty attractive option for you right now.

I would try to find Maximas in your area on coilovers so you can ride and make the call on your own roads.

 

Thank you for your input
I think im just going to replace what is needed to be safe and sell.
Only reason I am thinking of going this route is because my maxima was neglected by the previous owners and has a very very very bad rust problem. Every time i try and fix somthing a bolt snaps or somthing is fused together.
Time to sell
