Drop question

Im currently on stock suspension and ride on 20s, and would like to drop Max about 1" all around to wipe out gap without spending alot of cash.Im looking at getting the Tokico HP strut and spring set.Would that be a good choice to go with?

Seriously, Tein H-Tech springs with the Tokico HP struts. Best option for you.

I lot of guys run 20s and a drop, provided that they have the correct offset and a mild drop.

if youre talking about the package deal with the tokico HPs and red springs that come with them good luck. when i replaced my struts a few months ago i tryed for so long to get that package. i ordered it from at least 3 different stores, and waited...and waited...and waited. never came from any of them. each time i had to cancel my order and finally got fed up and just baught other struts.

my opinion would be to buy the HPs seperate and get some tien s-tech's or h-tech's.

H > S

Unless you really like a rough ride, the S on 20s will kill you, plus there is NO warranty on the HPs with S-techs. Also, you have to really mind the rim offset to keep from rubbing if you drop that low.

Really?! I thought the agx's and s-techs were one of the lower drop options.

They are. S-techs and sprints are as low as you can go w/o coilovers.

Yeah i have the agx s-tech combo, and i like it. On 20's thats pushing the limits. With my tire and wheel combo, its probably around 20 inchs and its about a 2 finger gap.

I also have a drop question.
I just put it 4 dropzone coils, and 4 KYB gr2's. all brand new.
The rear dropped 2" as it was supposed to, but the front only dropped .4" Does anybody know what would be the ideal springs to drop the front of a 95 maxima 2.00+ inches?

s-techs. dropzone sucks, period. and gr-2s arent really supposed to run with anything but stock springs or they could go prematurely. im sure youre used to that though...
