[QUOTE=JLA117;9042392]Wow that's a big drop. Bet it looks cool. No alignment issues? Issues like they couldn't do it and send you to another shop that does the caster camber thing the best way they can?[/QUOTE

I did it myself no problems so far its been a couple months since i lowered it the only problem was the CV axle popped out but that was already about to happen lowering it just made it break all the way. Replacing that took about an hour now it drives fine, pretty hard but fine haha

Just got it all done. Rides very good. Before I used to have to put the steering wheel a little left to drive straight and fixing all struts made steering wheel more dead even in the middle making it appear straight. The car doesn't seem it needs alignment. Should I still get it?

I wouldn't recommend AGX's for a nice ride. I had them and they were stiff as hell. Not to mention, they don't last very long on a DD car.

I recommend Tokico Blue or Illuminas. I'm running Blues up front and Illuminas in the rear with H&R springs. Very nice ride for a lowered setup.

I have ebay lowering springs 2.25 in the front and 2.0 in the back im pretty sure, I started with illimina blue struts that blew after a few years, It rode very sporty and handled good, but rough like any other lower maxima. After my struts blew i went to cheap ebay struts and they have been great and plenty sporty. Any way you lower your car, it will ride rough. But it is a great mod

Yeah mine is 2.25 front. Any problems When you make left turns? Mine does a knocking sound but it rides very good.
