I remember your sig pics with that big *** wheel gap.

 

Its all fixed now.

 

This is lowered 2.5 inches with the fenders rolled, and 245/45/18 R-compounds on Infinity wheels. This set up is on K-Sport Coilovers.



I rode on a set of Intrax springs with factory struts for 5 years with a 2 inch drop for about $200.
No mater what, set aside $80 for a new front end alignment. Otherwise your tires would last 6 months.

 

This was my previous Maxima. I had TEIN S-TECHs with KYB AGXs. I cut 1 coil out of each spring. My ride was decent for a dropped car. HEATING SPRINGS IS DANGEROUS! You can cut springs but up to 1 coil. Anything more than that is crazy. At the time when I had this car I worked in upstate New York. My commute to work was about 70 miles one way. This setup was my best spring setup on my Maxima.

This is my current Maxima with coilovers. I don't know the exact drop number but my cross member hates me lol. Right now I'm fabricating a skid plate to replace the plastic shrouds for the engine and trans.

^^^^ Good grief already. Every time you post pics of your car, you post a gazillion, and most of them are pretty much the same as your other pics. Relax a little....two or 3 pics tops (from very different angles) would have got your point across.

 

Sorry I apologize. I don't have too many other pics of my ride.

 

wow. someone actually took criticism well on the org!? kudos to you my friend.

 

lmfao kudos...haven't herd that in a while...nice max nyc vq30de-kt......o yea btw coilovers are the safest way to go and you can do w/e u want with them.

 

hey im still a bit new here and i completely understand gettin coilovers instead of well pretty much everythin else, but i was just wonderin wat u guys would recommend for coilovers, c im a college student so money is kinda tight, but i def want quality, so if u guys could help me out that would b great

 

LOL. Every man's dream. Quality coilovers for peanuts. Keep dreaming my friend.

 

I rigged a set of Weapon R to fit, but with three people in the back seat, and the trunk full of luggage, the springs were completely compressed and blew my struts. I mean NO suspension travel what so ever. If you don't plan on carrying anyone in the back seat, and no luggage or sub box in the trunk, I highly recommend them.

 

There are other problems that can happen by going the cheap route. I've seen members here with broken springs. Spend the money and go for quality. I've been on H&R's for the last 4 years. They're not the lowest but you still get a decent drop and a nice look with 17" wheels.

Go too low and you'll be swapping out axles very often.

 

Let the air out of your tires

 

not to thread jack, but what if I want to lower my max like...one inch. Cheap ways of doing that? I put on some 16 inch rims...just a bit high off the ground compared to the stock rims.

 

Yeah don’t cut your springs but just go ahead and buy $200 coil overs😂😂 absolute retard
you are better off just buying lowering springs at that point
DO NOT BUY $200 COIL OVERS for coils never go below $600 unless they have life time warranty and you are fine with changing your struts every month
