good suspension for Max
Once I get my Max back (in awhile......
) I am planning on throwing in new suspension. I am not lowering or raising, just looking to improve the performance. I am looking for handling more than soft/stiff ride, and am planning to put 16" on once I sell my 15's. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!

I have a 99 SE-L. Here's my experiences.
I put H&R's in it. Took them out 3 months later because I could not get the springs to quiet down. Way to much crunch crunch noise and the ride on stock struts was starting to suffer.
Next step. I put the stock springs back in, all new spring isolators and seats. I also replaced the struts/shocks as well with the KYB AGX's. Replaced the front sway bar bushings with new ones from Courtsey Nissan. I have a FSTB and RSB.
The car rides amazing setup like this. AGX's are set on 2 both front and rear. The car is so smooth and sooo quiet yet very firm with almost no body roll at all. I had 17" wheels and tires on it, just changed back to the stock 16" wheels. (winter in NJ) It got even better as far as ride goes after I went back to 16's. A little more cushion in the sidewalls on 16" tires. Overall I highly reccomend this setup. Handling is excellent!

How much did that setup cost? FYI...I already have a FSTB and RSB. Sounds like what I'm looking for. Decent somewhat soft ride with no body roll.
