i need ideas for new coilovers to lower my maxima. Not exactly sure what to buy, and I'm brand new here.

I currently have vision cross wheels matte black, size 15s on some firestone tires, not low profile which I would like a recommendation for the best low profile tires as well.

my suspension is still great after 217k miles but I'm looking to finally make it look good aesthetically. - thanks.

 

 

I wouldn't suggest coilovers since the axles start having issues when you go past the point a set of lowering springs can take you to. I have Megan Coilovers, and love the ride quality. But it was a waste of my money seeing as I couldn't go as low as I originally wanted, and I got a rougher ride due to the solid top vs the factory tophats with the rubber insulation.

 

I've got a set of Ground Control coilovers for sale ...

Is there any other options to go with for lowering the 4th gen?

 

They still make lowering springs for the car. You aren't located in SoCA, are you?

 

Double Post. My browser is doing some weird stuff on forums on reply.

 

sadly no, I'm from Missouri 😫 - idk I'm getting the windows tinted today on the car, just wish I could find some affordable body work to get done on the car. Everyone around here has quoted me in the thousands for the quarter panel and back door damage... :/

 

You can easily get a door from a salvage yard. It doesn't look like the b-pillar is bent. Do you just need the dog leg under the c-pillar straightened?

 

Not sure, take a look?

 

Do you know the exact quotes? Since the rust is on the quarter panel..

 

I got quoted out by my local body shop place like $4k for everything...

 

I've used Sprint spring since 98 on my Maxima with no issues. They offer. 2" drop in the front and rear is about 1.75 if I'm not mistaken.

There may be better options now for lowering springs for our car but I'm my opinion these were good for me and offered the lowest drop at the time without compromising lower control arms etc.

Go with a good set of shocks with these. I'm using KYB AGX which are adjustable.

 

could you link me to these on a site to buy? Shocks and springs? Thanks!

Here are some pictures of my lowered 4th gens with 17" and 18" wheels to give an idea of the look.

Lowered 98 model GLE with 17" 2016 Juke Wheels.





Lowered 99 model SE with 18" 2007 Maxima wheels.



Painted the 2007 Maxima wheels with Duplicolor Wheel Paint in gunmetal metallic with clear.




Here's an old picture of the 99 SE with 15" Fittipaldi wheels. The wheels were originally gold before being painted black.

 

Gah the 15 inch with stock height looks horrible lol.

 

I'll go against the grain here and say coilovers or don't waste your time. Get some Teins, they are quit comfortable and you can get the proper drop.
