Lowering a MAX
#3
Definatley going to need new shocks. The stock ones will last about 3000 miles until you will probably blow them out. I suggest the Koni AGX's b/c they are externaly adjustable and provide a pretty stiff ride. That is all you need though - you have the springs and need the shocks.

Lower a Maxima.
I know what you're going for. The Maxima does have HUGE wheel wells, so lots of aftermarker wheels don't look good (like my Racing Harts). I am ordering a Weapon-R Circuit Pro Coil-over set, which are really nice because they are adjustable (1"-3"). I'll try them (I have all stock component currently) and tell you how they work out without shocks and struts. I don't think they'll blow out, but this is a little more than a normal spring (these have strenuous installation instructions). They are on sale for $250 from their site's (www.weapon-r.com) direct "sale" link. However, installation will cost you this amount as well. Good luck on your quest.

The deal is on custommaxima.com. We still need one more buyer to my knowledge. Check it out. The sooner we get the last buyeer the sooner we get our springs.

hey guys I was planning on buying the h&r springs 1.25 and keeping my factory struts because I hate the stiff ride is it posible to use my factory struts without been bounce around or having them go after a certain amount of miles or are there struts out there thats not as stiff as the regular ones and gives you a smooth ride.

Koni's are adjustable, but you need to modify the stock strut housing to install them.
KYB AGX's are adjustable and they are a drop-in replacement.

KYB AGX shocks
I just went to www.tirerack.com and ordered mine for all 4 wheels. I had to special order each one of them. The grand total was $339.30. I dont know when they will be shipped(hopefully really soon). I'll post when I have them installed. I guess they are kind of available, although they are not instock anywhere in the US.

Whereas the KYB AGX's you remove the stock strut and put in the AGX adjustable strut.

Did you remember to order TWO rear shocks? I'm pretty sure that the $87 is per shock. You might want to double check.
Cause 2*$113 + 2*$87 = $400 + whatever shipping is

If you want the Koni adjustables, the rears are a direct replacement. But the fronts are a different story. You have to cut the front stock strut cause the koni's are only a cartriage that must replace the stock cartriage in the strut. So you have to cut the stock strut, remove the stock cartriage and then put in the koni adjustable cartriage.
Whereas the KYB AGX's you remove the stock strut and put in the AGX adjustable strut.
