ok i have been looking around and im trying to find a good pair of springs and shocks, and struts forsale but all im seeing is ones that are over 800 bucks. i thought i could lower my car for less then that. can you all help me please. thank you

 

do it right the first time, save up for coils (wish I wouldve done this instead)

 

Yeah dont make the mistake I made. Im buying my coils back from my friend tomorrow. If you really want a cheaper set you can take mine for 550 shipped. They are H&R springs and illumina struts. They do come preassembled. They have about 5k miles on them.

Ill even throw in some camber bolts

 

Cut springs. It's free

 

Yeah then have the ride of your life ahahaha

 

I bought lowering springs off eBay for $73 and will be putting them on stock shocks this weekend I'll let you know how it turns out...

 

It'd be fun lol

 

Uhuh for a while ahaha

 

THIS. After 10 years and owning 9 A32's with different lowering springs, I finally saved up and got some coilovers. Best mod/use of money PERIOD. I will never go back.

 

Coilovers or bust.

 

A lot of people don't know about Maximas. Only those that have owned them know what they truly are. With that being said, not everyone sees them as a "go-fast" car. So aftermarket support is low.

Low demand = low supply = expensive

High demand = high supply = cheap

Civics are a good example of this, you can find stuff for them left and right

 

This

 

Wait..... coilovers and every other weekend to change axles.

 

Dont get tein coilovers.

 

Usually depends on how low you go on your car, right?? What's the height of your car from ground to fender in the front?

For the tein coilover for the 4th gen aren't as great since they don't have the SS series for the 4th gen.

 

i really thank everyone for your input on it. i guess i will just start saving up the grand for the coilovers.

 

What setup do you have?

 

yeah but coilovers have a min drop of 1.7"F.

What if u dont want to go that low? Then u get springs and struts

 

I regret buying lowering springs. Listen to everyone here and save up for Coilovers and do it right the first time.

 

Im on S.techs with OE relacement struts.....lets just say I feel everything on the road

 

you got monroes with s-techs, smh lol worst setup ever

i haven't even got my suspension on and i'm already wishing i saved for c/o's lol BUT i don't really care since my suspension is 17 y/o and super ****ty so anything will be better now plus i'm on a budget all the time

 

Worst setup for comfort......definitely. They are old though, had the setup since 05 on my old car.

Im right there with you on a budget, because of my medical situation I'm jobless. So my mods at this time are few and far between (expensive mods atleast).

 

what do ppl regret? da ride? da drop? combination of both?

 

Both for me.

 

+1

 

i spent $250 for a fairly decent ride and drop.... i know that you get what you pay for but for the money i spent, I'm very happy.
$180 for shocks and $70 for springs.
Would i rather have coilovers? YES.

 

Same. And they're not even that stiff. Yes, there is significantly less body roll then when it was stock, but there is still a fair amount of it. Kind of disappointing.

 

thats cuz your slammed foo raise your car up and than see how long your axles last lol and same with the teins if you had raised them up instead of slamming them/ bottoming out im sure the ride would have been more enjoyable.

 

go coilovers or go home

 

+1

 

He means the Tein basics suck compared to the other CO that we have available to us

 

I agree with Alex.

 

Save for coilovers bro

 

or buy my spring/strut combo with free camber bolts . LOL

 

so, which coilovers offer the best ride?

 

im sitting on stock right now and i only want to drop it like 1.5 in the front and 1.3 in the back.

 

Probably the Teins They sound perfect for you now.

 

That's pretty close to what H-Techs offer.

 

theres almost always a pair of used coils in the classifieds going for much less than a thousand

 

Comfortable ride? Stick to stock. Thats the most comfortable ride.



I will post a pic of how low it is. I have 18s and the fender is maybe an inch from the rim.
