dude, you have got to read! and SEARCH!!! there are at least 30 different options to lower your car... There are a million threads on said "lowering kits"... Something like the "official drop thread" would probably be helpful... Or, just go on ebay, search for lowing springs, maxima, and there ya go!

Cant stress that enough. There are like 2 threads that list the drop and spring rate of every spring for our car if you search for them. Theres also a drop thread in the members ride sections.

As for my advice... I run KYB AGX Struts and Progress Springs. The springs are extremely nice. After they settled it was a near 2 inch drop. The struts are fine for my liking but others will tell you they are too stiff and not adjustable enough. It just comes down to personal preference.

Really, when you get down to it, virtually everything's already been covered. Might as well eliminate the Maxima.org forum discussion part and just post the stickies and search tool.

I agree. What will happen to the org when every single thing that has to do with maxima's has been discussed? You find guy just re-wording a thread that's been discussed a hundred times before

Agreed. However, there are certain things that just do not need new threads. Like intakes, and suspension for instance. As for other actual problems, if there hasn't been a new thread for several years, there most certainly can be some new information on the topic. Just my opinion.

The OP of this thread has already been banned after only 7 posts. So, this thread is pretty much a done deal.

And yeah, the gates of hell have been opened. The mods are gonna be working overtime cleaning up the place now.
