Lowering My Max Question...

will this improve my handling and cornering, because i hate how the car leans to one side when i make a turn fast. So would new coilovers or springs help me out? Also i looked around a bit for some good lowering srings for a really good price and i founfd sprint springs. Are they good or worth the buy? Thanx.

Sprints give the lower drop of 2 inches all around~~

The ride is pretty harsh........ and go ahead and buy performance struts while ur at it since you'll probably blow ur stock ones pretty quickly. Check the GD forums... there's 350 shipped for kyb's..

Springs will help quite a bit but you should also consider adding a rear sway bar while you're at it. They help stop body roll more than the stiffer springs alone. You can chose either the Stillen or Addco. Both are adjustable and work great but most people (including me) have the Addco because it's so much less expensive and does the same job.

Struts are (almost) a must with new springs

Just installed

Just installed KYB AGX and Maxspeed drop springs. Made a huge difference over my stock GLE suspension.
I have the fronts on 3 and the backs on 5!!

Ride kicks a$$!

your ride wont feel like an infiniti, even on the softest settings of the AGX's... thats the price you pay for getting better handling.. at least your car wont sag in the back, since you have an auto
