I have the 2k2 se and I feel that the suspension is to floaty to begin with. what is the difference between the SE suspension and the other models? Is it actually stiffer/sportier?

thanks.

 

It's just in the stabilizer bar. Same springs and struts, I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

where is the stabilizer bar?

 

What stableizer bar? I know there is one one but get real. I just put my RSB in on Sunday and can't believe it didn't come that way from factory

 

its that bar that connects the rear two struts together, it really sucks big time


about suspension differences..... the SE model has a slighly firmer strut (they are tokicos)

 

Are you sure? Can anyone else confirm this??

 

Im not sure that they are tokicos, but i know for a fact that the suspension on the SE is alot stiffer. The stabilizer bars are thicker too. My friend has a GLE and that thing floats compared to the SE. Now I think the guy asking has prelude, the maxima is a HUGE car by comparison. So, it will feel floatier. Go drive a camry and then go back to ur max. U will see the difference.

 

SE's MUST be stiffer than GLX/GXE...It's what I paid for!!!...

Is it me or are SE's a bit lower than GXE/GLE's

 

Yep they are tokicos , just not the Tok Blues u see at stillen. Its basically and OEM strut built by Tokico with a slightly higher dampening force then the GLE/GXE. Btw I ordered my springs 2day/progress but im not too sure if I want to go with KYB struts. I want to try Tok Blue's but all ive seen are mixed reactions about them on here.

 

Yeah, I knew they were Tokicos but I thought that the GXEs and GLEs had them too.

Get the KYBs. Now that you fixed mine, I love em.

 

Yeah atleat 90% of that anoying clunking noise is gone, if only I could see what was makin that little clunk in the front .
Well then looks like instead of getting the struts this time, im gonna have to just hold off and stick with the springs, get a RSB and the 19's which I still cant decide on. Either way all this is gonna costin me an arm and a leg, oh and thanks 4 the ronal wheel thing.lol btw what do u think Se7en or phantom? Im stumed. Ull probably say se7en.

 

Se7ens. Definitely. I already voted. I hate chrome on white cars.

I just got the exhaust fixed. Rear clunk is gone. Also, I am working on buying a body kit right now. How hard was the install?

 

Just ge it painted, ill tell u were to drill the holes 4 the rivets. I already know what to and not to do with the body kit. Check ur pms in a few min. Btw the se7ens were gonna be chrome too.

 

 

Sorry dude, what can I say I like chrome. Ok the PM is sent.

 

i always though chrome looked good on either white or black, but nothing in between

 

Same here, but the thing with mine is, its an auto and I already got a body kit on it. Its more of a show car then anything. If I had a 5spd and a **** load of bolt-ons. Hands down Id go with silver racing type rims like the se7en but id go with 18's. 19's is more of a show thing.

 

Yeah I noticed this too...I've got a GXE that I've put all SE stuff on, including the SE rims, and my friend has the same exact year but in SE with the rims standard, and his sits a little lower than mine. Not too noticeable though.

 

My understanding when I purchased the 2k max was the spring rate and sway bars. Spring rates are higher in the SE and the front sway is thicker and the back is worthless. Just a metal bar that acts like a torsion bar. Got the stillen SB and it makes a nice difference. The car still leans a good deal but that can be fixed with a change out of the springs.
