Suspension Setup Questions for 2K2

Unfortunately, I can not search yet, so I need some help with setting up my suspension:


1. How does the Maxima ride with GR2 struts and OEM springs, does the ride firm up or does it stay "floaty".

2. I could install used H&R springs with GR2 struts, do I need to be concerned about installing the used springs? Do the "wear out" or will the spring rate remain constant over time?

Thanks in advance!

Used H&R springs should be fine. Just make sure they aren't cut, unless you want cut springs. Right now I have a 2k2 with Tokico blues and H&R springs and it is a nice ride. It rides nice and def. improved the handling a ton.

Is there an easy way to tell if the springs were cut? They are mounted with Tokico blues now and the front sits noticably lower than the rear. Is that normal?

No. Not at all.

Sounds like mine might be cut.

I noticed on your home page that you are running KYB shocks. Are they the AGX or GR2 and do you have experience with the GR2 as they compare to the Tokico blues?
