Why dont you need them?? cmon think about it... bigger struts fatter pistons...better ride...outstanding warranty and custom spring rates?? thats a steal!!!! like i said..880 shipped right now... BUT the more people we get the lower it could go... if you got a facebook post up on tdmimports page about want for the A chassis...we will start a list there..and here

Bump steer kit replaces the tie rod ends... its basically a performance tie rod end for our cars.. helps keep the suspension geometry how it should be once the car is lowered ...let me grab more info on it for you

Just curious which brand are you comparing to with the smaller piston size.

Would it really matter?? Tein...ksport...d2...bc... megans...all have smaller pistons and housings... bigger pistons make for a more comfortable ride.. it makes it absorb more or the bump... these are made by fortune auto.. and if you look them up all their coils are used in rally racing etc... the valving spring rates etc all much better... these arent your typical 850 dollar megan or d2 coils...

A bumpsteer kit for B14/B15 won't 100% fit on the A32/A33. The tapers are the same for the steering knuckles but the inner tie rod on the Maxima is bigger. M12 x 1.5 for Sentras and M14 x 1.5 on the Maximas IIRC. So that blue part will have to be a different part or you will have to drill and tap a bigger hole if these are to work on a Maxima.

I've had a custom bumpsteer kit installed for a while now. Originally designed for a Sentra but with a different coupler to work with the Maxima inner tie rods. I checked the bumpsteer with the stock tie rods and will have to check the bump with the custom bumpsteer kit this Spring. It is a pain in the *** to check bump properly so it has been something I have been putting off for a while. 2JR installed the bumpsteer kit along with a bunch of other stuff. I don't have any data but I felt the bumpsteer kit worked a little better as it lowered the steering arm a few mm vs the OEM style tie rods, so the car felt a little less twitchy over bumps as the car is lowered about an 1" from stock ride height.

im here....i am steven lol feel free to ask. We made couple models along with Honda... we only have a32/a33 bump steer kit post on facebook. The one on our major forum, b15u, it is not for a32/a33. The one we currently shown is a PROTOTYPE....please read carefully our threads before jump into conclusion so fast.

Regarding to the coilover, bigger pistons does provide better ride. Our larger tubing can easily more oil fluids 250 C.C. There are couple inner important piece are made in Japan.

I'll be honest...yeah I'm "scared" I'll admit it. 800 bucks is no chump change for me, but I do know that I need a suspension overhaul within a year. I have been researching and pricing out H&R/Illumina setups, and can come in around 600 or 700 bucks with everything. These are almost in the same price range, but the lack of initial users has me a bit ...I can't afford to have my car be down (daily driver, as well as with new daughter, this car is the main transport with me and my wife...her Outback is not long for this world, y'know?)

Haha I feel you bro, but I'm excited because its something new for our cars. Steven Huang aka b15azn has a very strong rep and the interest seem lacking here but add us on facebook and you'll see someone of the advid maxima enthusiast are very interested. The list for the bump steer kit is nearly full I think two spots left. Make sure you redo the entire suspension, did mine entirely. End links, tie rods, bearings hubs all that, but yea man inbox me if you have facebook and I will show you. I'm fully confident enough to drop even more on his inverted design!

For those who are still unsure of what the bump steer kit does, here is another source to help you further understand, unfortunately the first 20 have been officially claimed, some of the guys here on the org jumped on the list, you can still be added for the next batch if you want.

this. i already have H&Rs and Illuminas, but i'm deeply considering these. one thing to note however is for the money (so close to BC territory), i would really expect camber plates, which i do not see in the pics. i know it was mentioned earlier in the thread but i'm not seeing them in the pics that were posted. a confirmation of pillow-ball mounts would be nice as well.

thanks!

They do have pillow ball mounts and I thought maxima coilovers didn't have camber plates? As far as the bump steer kit there are like 3 left, when I get em I will make a thread about the install and overall feel.
