Another Satisfied H&R KYB driver!

just got my car lowered today and oh my lord, it rides smooth no clunking, looks 100x better, all around amazing, I wish i have done this sooner! No regrets lowering it or spending the amount for it! they did a really good job on it, took them all day to do it.


Before Drop, man that thing sat too high, and how our stock suspension sucks !

Thanks man, the instant i saw it parked outside the shop i was in shock how much different it looks, I loved it! felt in love with my car all again.
The driving experience Was just.. so many words, it felt like this is where the 4th gen maxima should of been at, but I guess this mod makes it more unique, some people look at the side of the car and they're like wtf kinda car is that? looks badass.. is that a honda? nope.. something they never think of. Maxima!

I did see pictures on here on the drop, but in picture wise, its so hard to describe in person how it was before and after.. Now I have experienced that.. Now I know the true feeling of it and it is exciting! now i get more turn heads at stop lights lol, don't know if thats a bad thing or not

The Gap is so small now..which i really liked, they say a 1.4 inch drop on the H & R, to me it looks like 1.6-1.7 drop, I can't even fit a shoe in between the gap no more lol. Before the drop I could just lay a shoe on top of the tire.

I can personally attest to these as well. I had the same setup on my 99' and was very satisfied with the ride quality as well as the modest drop. I never ran any other setup (other than bc coilovers on my 96' which arnt really comparable) so i cant say for sure if its the "best" setup. But what i can say is that you will not be disapointed.

Gratz on getting these installed though, looks good! Certainly a night and day difference as far as looks go for sure lol.

I'm dropped 1.5" I get people commenting "nice car, should get it lowered" When I say it is, they don't believe me.

haha, show them a picture before, they will be in shock how high our stock suspension is. But I love the H & R , KYB drop, its perfect for this car, not too low or too high.. it sits perfectly in my eyes. I love it alot! I can't seem to keep thinking that my car is lowered and how it looks cause I was so used to seeing the stock suspension look for 2years.

I love the way it rides and the way it looks.

It truly looks like where the 4th gen maxima should be.

Your car looks really good. Some newer cars have a lower suspension from the factory (for mileage, looks, whatever). Compare a newer car to a stock Maxima and it looks like it has a lift kit.

I've had mine dropped about a year, and no issues bottoming out, just some scraping from the front lip. But thats my fault. I can't stand how high the front sits it stock form. I dropped it 1.5" and added a 2" lip to get it where I want it. Whoever designed the suspension must have driven on gravel roads
