Hi, I'm new to this forum, wondering what are some good online sites for aftermarket parts, such as springs, shocks/struts, brakes, etc. Also, does anyone have a driver side corner lights (the ones next to the headlight)? Thanx for everyone's help.

You can get a few links from this site too. I'm sure you'll find it informative.

Thanx for the help, everyone. I'm not real big into the soop up scene, but just got some 17" wheels from a fried of mine, improved handling drastically. Still looking to get shocks/struts, and springs. I've noticed eibach pro springs are pretty popular with the maximas. Anyone know of any springs that lower the car an inch or less?

Why do you want only an inch or less? It wont even look lowered. The performance will increase but not by a whole lot. Im confused.

Unless I'm wrong, the lowering doesn't necessarily help performance that much. I'm not looking for that ultra-low look. I'm kind of a subtle type person, so I don't want a really suped up look. The Maxima does have a huge gap in the wheel wells, so I do want it lowered somewhat, just not that much. I still want to keep it somewhat stock looking. Actually, I originally wanted to just get upgraded shocks/struts, but after I put the wheels on, it did look a bit funny. What's are good springs that have minimal lowering and are not too stiff? I'm looking to retain decent ride quality. With the stock springs and shocks/struts with the upgraded wheels/tires, ride did suffer just a tad, and I don't want it to decrease too much more with upgrades.

P.S. My wheels and tires are from my friend's old Nissan 240sx (he's got that suckered really suped up, with a turbo charger and all), and the sizes are a bit different from the traditional 'plus one' or 'plus two' sizes. The fronts are 235 45ZR17 and the rears are 255 40ZR17. Any adverse performance affects from the large rear wheels and difference sizes?
