and the whole "hot rod" stance is a thing of the past. the max looks a little more even now and im very pleased with it. i cut 3/4 a coil off, i didnt go a full coil cuz i was worried about the rear sagging. ill post pics sometime this week.

also concerning the ride..its exactly the same. it didnt get any harsher, after 350 miles with the rears being cut.

i was thinking of doing this too or just getting the gc coilovers.did you take it somewhere or did you cut them yourself?please keep me posted.

buss95max

it was a do-it-yourself operation. i to had thoughts of switching to GC, but didnt want to bother. we used a circular saw with a metal cutter blade. the whole thing took like 45 minutes, it was pretty easy. only thing that sort of a drawback is that i have to guide my springs in when im lowering the rear. its no big deal though, piece of cake

Great job guy join the cut spring club I did it to my front intrax and I did it already to another Maxima with sprints on it as well. So now the car is nicely dropped. Yippy slammed Maximas rule. Post some pics. Anyone else needs guidance on how to cut these rear sprints and make them sit nice and even.

If you know what you are doing you ll be alright we did not slam the car coilover style, we just closed the gap to a 2 finger fenderwell gap in the rear only. The sprints the coils touch each other on the rear cut only two complete coils and your good. If you cut one is not going to do much, two worked fine. As far as ride quality I rode in the car down a bumpy street it rides just fine. He does have Konis to back up a 2inch drop.

i cut 3/4s a coil. i didnt want to sagg when if get weight in the back. i have a 2 1/2 finger gap in the rear now. also i have konis in the rear.

sp6040

thanks fellas all i have to do know is build up the guts to cut them oh well if i ruin them they are only about 150$or so ill just get or new pair or just get the gc. later..i have the konis so i know it will hanlde the drop.

Buss in the rear Koni shock on what clip did you place your rear shock on the bottom one or the top?, the little clip thats on the shock and then comes the cup on top, that clip? I put his on the top and didnt work, he then place it on the bottom and it dropped an even 3 fingers. I have thick fingers for a short guy, well I guess your fingers are thicker than mine a 2inch=2 fingers for me. We cut 2 complete coils with the clip on the bottom. Looks Niceeeeee and even no saggy rear here and rides niceee too. But ask Cumalot instead since he rides in it everyday. I got a set of coilovers today and will probably put them on this summer and test them out for everyone the Weapon Rs on Konis I dont know if anyone has this setup yet.
