Hi:

The other day my dad was driving my Maxima and I was driving his car, and I noticed that the rear of the car sags allot.

I really don't want to buy lowering springs to lower my car because the roads are horrible where I live, but I am willing to lower my front end a little to compensate for the sag in the rear.

I was wondering what kind of drop I would get if I cut a half a coil from the stock springs. Has anybody else done this?

I'm not worried about the shocks because I'm planning on getting some AGX's.

Oh, I almost forgot, does any one know why 4th gens sag so much in the rear?

Thanks!

 

Ya need to get one of those stickers that says ' No Fat B!tches'
you'll find that after a while it'll come true.


But on a serious note prob from towing of carrying heavy loads.

 

you cut your springs and your car will ride worse than if you dropped it with some springs..

get some H&R's they ride more comfortablebly than stock and the give a nice 1.5 drop..

 

My car does too, but I think mine is becuase of my speaker box weight.

 

i agree with SprintMax don't cut your springs, go with h&r.

 

H&Rs sag too.






...well they do...

 

It's looks like most stock maxima's seem to have a saggin ***. Mine has a sagging one too. I measure the clearance in the front(front the fender to the top of the front tires) and the back and noticed that the font has a bigger gap. I guess it comes with age...just like body parts...hehe. Will H&R's with KYB fix the sag?

 

mines sags with the slightest increase weight in back seat or trunk.

 

mine doesnt sag when i take my spare out...maybe get a little donut tire instead of your fullsize spare...

 

my 99 gxe didn't come with a full size spare, did yours?

 

It seems like that a little more because our rear fenderwell is cut lower than the front one, so the rear gets closer to the tire faster than the front under loading.

 

Yep, my SE came with a fullsize spare mag.

 

I think US spec Maximas have the donut spare, and Canadian Maximas have the full size spare, presumably for all the snow they encounter.

 

The front has a bigger gap because it's designed that way. About 1/2". No voodoo here.
