recently bought a 98 max se

I recently bought a 98 Max SE. I've already got clear corners and the front lighting done. I swapped a set of 18 in Konigs Rated R's w/ my stock with another Max. I dunno what mod should I do next. I want to lower my car since I got rims, the car looks funny w/ stock height. Or I was thinking of a pacesetter shifter and popcharger. Any ideas??? Thanx

well i got a black max so it looks hot on it in my opinion...dunno what color your car is but if it is a dark color then you should definately get those than the red clears....but i got the last pair from custommaxima, though he should have more in stock soon.

OK, if i was to lower the car, how much difference would it make if I was to to only getting springs than to get the combo. I know its a dumb question but I'm not really going to autocross the car so I figure if spring would get me by with of course the additions of strut bars and sway bars, I may as well do it that way. But thats just an idea, I may just do the combo and the bars also.

Also! Just bought a MOMO Alcantara shift **** on ebay for $69.95 and a Pacesetter shifter for $68 on Custommax.com Hopefully get those install soon. Can't wait.

skip the visual mods coughricecough, and go for performance heh.

If you're upset with the way the car looks, why did you buy it? Seriously though, for a great performance spring, the H&R's are decently priced. They lower the car only 1.5 inches though, the maximum amount that is allowed for aftermarket shocks and struts such as KYB AGX, Tokico Blues, and Koni adjustables.

I didn't say that I didn't like the look of my Max. I like lots but I just think its funny how there a big gap between my wheel well and my tires.
