Hey guys,
Just woundering if anyone noticed that the front space in the front fender to the wheel is greater than in the rear. Its almost an inch or more. Or is my car just messed up. If I get the Eibachis will it correct the problem or make it more noticeable? And will i need to get new struts or shocks?
Thanks for your help

that is the body style and springs will decrease the gap but will problably have a little more in the front than the back. It is not a big deal and once you put the springs in it problably will not bother you anymore.

I had the same problem as you're having. Eibachs wont correct the problem. It just wont be as noticeable as before once you lower your car.
If you want to fix this problem completely, you should get coilovers instead of the Eibachs. They're height adjustable and much better than the Eibachs. One downside is the high price.

well, the thing is...the front will always 'look' higher than the rear because of the way maximas are designed...i know i know...can't do much about it till you get the coilovers or fat-*** wheels..
if you are considering about getting the coilovers for your car, i strongly suggest you to talk to people who already has a coliover.
i know a friend who does, and he did say that it's not really ideal for everyday drive...if you want to road-race alot, GET IT...but if not...stay with Eibachs....
