I have a few questions. With over a 2" drop, will I still be able to change my own oil and oil filter? While still having the Maxima level? Will the car be dropped too low to get underneath the car to reach the oil filter and plug?

Here's my stats: 2003 Maxima SE (Titanium Ed.), I will be running my stock 17" wheels.

I'm still thinking of getting Eibachs (with either Tokicos or GR2's) due to the fact that it still drops the car and reduces that ugly fender gap, however not too low to where I can still change my own oil and such. You guys with Eibachs can still get underneath the car right? I would think so.

I have Eibachs and Tokico Blues on my Z32, so I'm comfortable with that setup, however I know Teins are good stuff too, but its the low drop that concerns me Feedback please, thanks guys!

u should be able to

 

I think it depends on how fat/skinny you are.

 

6" ft in height, and average weight (197 ibs), so I don't think being overweight and not fitting underneath the car will be a problem, but I'm no "string-bean".

Damn, this thread is starting to sound like a dating service..LOL

 

I have the eibachs tokico blues. its a little tight under there, so I just jack the car up.

 

Its definitely gonna be tough with no jack and tein springs. I have sprints and I can't change the oil without jacking it up. I'm not big by any means either.

 

What about Eibachs? Can you change the oil without a jack? Theres gotta be more room to spare under there than the teins offer.

I really don't want to use a jack.

dont get Eibachs... a waste of money... why not keep it stock if you're going to go with Eibachs... Eibach drop to me looks like stock from the front..

Oil change... come on now, just get the TEINS and love the drop and jack the car up if you need to change the oil... no problem...

 

HEy im a big guy and i jacked the car just a lil bit to change the oil.. Get the TEins u wont regret it.
