suspension

I just got a new 97 Max GXE on sat. it vary nice but i wanted to improve its handling a little bit. I was wondering what are some good shocks i could get for the car at a reasonable price (I'm only 16 and dont have too much money). Also my dad has a 99 3.2 TL and i think it would be a good race...but i dont know if the TL would win in a 0-80 race...its acceleration in 3rd gear sucks, but the TL will hang in there w/ a Integra GS-R. I'll find out about the Max this weekend...hehe

If you want to improve its handling you will need springs and shocks. Do a search and you will come up with tons and tons of info others have posted over time.

Is your car 5 speed or auto, if its 5 speed and you are a decent driver, you will run his TL

Well...

Yes, springs (Eibach, H&R, B&R, Intrax, Sprint) and stuts (Tokicko, KYB GR-2, KYB AGX, Koni) will kelp your handling, but if you want the most drastic bang for the buck go with struts bars (FSTB and RSB). Check out www.CustomMaxima.com - Greg (the owner) has some great deals. I know the Maxima's stock suspension sucks but you can make it handle like a pro
