OBX coilover/KYB AGX review
After about a week of this new setup, I am think I am ready to review them. I bought the coilovers from SHmotorsports.com for $215 + shipping and the AGX's from Nick Bauer in the FS forum for $350 shipped. I did all the installation myself which proves that any moron can install them. The only problem was that the KYB's had to be grinded a little so that the sleeve of the coilover can fit over. I believe that all coilovers require this though.
I am very impressed with this setup, it is a huge improvement in handling over stock. The ride is stiffer but bearable and I am getting very very little noise from the new setup. I used the wire wrap from Radioshack and it seems to have helped a lot. The look is also very good, the lower stance makes the Maxima look very clean and fast. I have them set almost all the way down, maybe 1/2 an inch left to go down. I still have a three finger gap in the front and back at that setting on stock 15 inch rims. These are not the coilovers you want if you want to "slam" your car, try WeaponR's for that setup.
The one comlplaint that I do have is a lack of instructions or other documentation that came with the coilovers. I had to ask a fellow member on how to install them so I wouldn't screw up. Other than that I am happy to finally have gotten rid of the 4x4 look.

They sell them saying 0-4" drop, that is BS. The only way that you can get below about 2.5" is to have the spring perches relocated on your strut. Otherwise you can only drop as far down as that perch.
