Actually the wheels are on my Lincoln LS and I got those for $5300 for 20x8.5's in the front and 20x9.5's in the rear. Since my maxima is the 4th gen model and is a smaller car, I went with 18x8.5 Giovanna Geneva for a more conservative stance.

I agree with kloogy, I believe you don't give up much horsepower as long as the wheels are light and you keep the total height of the wheel and tire closer to stock.

PS
Kloogy your ride looks awesome. . .nice wheels!!!!!!!!

I think you are right. If you slide the picture down to where the body kit does not show then it looks like they are the same height. But once you can see the bottoms of both cars, kloogy's looks much higher.

Irvine sliced one of the dead coils on his springs. When it sits, it looks better. My concern is that at times, I have more than 2 people in the car, and even Irvine will tell you, that it will rub for sure. I might slice one coil off the front just to get a better drop there. I was just very concerened with rubbing, and I have none whatsoever .

I didn't mean it like that but from the rear it looks to be a foot taller. You are at the same height as my car so I am happy with my drop but I want the kit to make it seem a little lower. Plus my APC wing to spruce things up in the rear

I would like to lower it more, but Coilovers will be my only option, since i want to be able to adjust the height.

if adjusting the height of your car is your priority, then just go with Ground Control and shocks(KYG, KONI or Tokico)...

if you want a 'real' performance coilovers, then go with JICs..
