So two of NYC's Finest 3.5 crew members met up last night for a little photo shoot of our whips with the drops...

92SER and myself were the two cars present.

92 SER has the Tein drop and I with the Maxspeeds....in all seriousness the drops in person are very very close....there is no HUGE difference like people say:

here are two pix... I have plenty more:






any opinions/comments appreciated

 

i've been thinking about this. i have 235 50 17's on my car, which does a pretty good job of filling out the wheel wells. i'm not sure i would want to drop any further than the maxspeeds.

235 + maxspeeds = a "tein-like" drop.

 

the actual difference is maybe .5" in front and .25" in back...nothing HUGELY noticable...altho I think 235/50 would rub on teins in back....

 

yeah, i don't think i would want to go w/ anything but maxspeeds with my 235's. i think you're right about the teins rubbing.

 

any pics with cars facing each other?

 

I just put maxspeeds and Tokicos on my car. I wanted something that would get rid of the wheel well gap, but yet would not look "lowered" to the everyday joe. (also, my wife would pi$$ and moan if it had the lowrider look)

The handling is awesome, the ride is just a touch more firm than stock, and my car looks 10 X better. I'll take new pics once she's clean.

Have you ridden in your buddy's car? If so, how do the Tein's ride?

 

no...I didn't get a chance to ride in them...he did ride in mine tho....and he claims the ride is equivalent....

 

That's the same way I felt when I went with the H&R. I just wanted to get rid of most of the wheel gap, but I don't like the lowrider look. So the Teins would be a no go for me. Unlike most I like the drop of Maxspeeds, H&Rs, and Eibach way more than the Tein look.

 

ive got the same tire size with the maxspeeds and it looks perfect to me. im thinking of going to a 235/45/17 when i replace the michelins to find some comparbale less expensive tires.

 

I was surprised as well. The maxspeeds in person dont look 1/2 bad! The tein drop in the front was where the big difference was. Thats why the tein drop is more "even" like people say..

where did you get your maxspeeds? i got KYB AGX in my house waiting for springs... also did you pickup your bulbs? or they were shipped?

 

 

Jairo...got them from ebay $125 shipped from Cali..... bulbs were shipped from SI..

also dude... the name is Heath...we're both local..we can use names instead of SN's...

 

you will need 4th gen springs for your agx's.

 

You know i was thinking calling you by first name but some people dont like that.. but i guess you dont mind Heath! Gracias!!

 

de nada homie....yo son when we gonna meet up so u can get a ride in the drop too?

 

let me know, i want to see those HIDs do you live close to Marco?

i go to queens like every 2 or 3 days to check out those mamis..!!

 

hehe...w/o traffic I think I could get to East Meadow faster....

come through dude.....I'll call you later..

 

I need to get the Teins. My wheel gap sucks with my Maxspeeds

 

I am switching from H&R's tomorrow

 

If it makes you feel better, I think your car looks bangin'

 

thank you

 

yeah.....the stock grill looks much better than the billet thing.

 

what does this have to do with the price of tea in China???

I don't get how this relates to our drops..

 

what i meant to say was the black car, although less modified (appearance wise) looks better...just my opinion....but i do like the silver color. just not a fan of the big truck series type grills.

 

newb....there was no black car or silver car....

92SER's is gray lustre and mine is sterling mist...

but thanx for your opinions even tho they had nothing to do with my thread...

 

Sweet pics. Both cars look sweet.

 

both of the rides look impressive with the springs, my question is how are the progressive springs they sell at custommaxima do they compare to the ride of the teins or maxspeed, i have a 2k1 with the 16's stock, whats the best springs to eliminate the ride height as well as comfort and best appearance??

 

Hey maximadave...what kind of springs are on your old maxima that's on your website?

 

Eibach's with Tokicos.

I think I have too much wheel gap with my Maxspeeds/GR2 setup...what do you think? I either want to cut my Maxspeeds or get the Teins.

 

looks nice to me...do you think you were lower with the eibachs and toks???

 

after looking at both cars in these photos and seeing Teins and Maxspeeds and Eibachs in person, Im going to swap out of my Maxspeeds for some Teins - it just looks too good in person; makes the stance look a lot more aggressive.

I think so.....but on my 2K I had the stock 17"s compared to my 2K2 which has 18"s

 

both of those drops are tight but i dont think u can compare them cuz they are for 2 diff type of people the tien is more of the racer lowrider look which is nice of course but not everybody likes it but the maxspeed drop is more of jus trying to fill the wheel gap and get some better handling which is also nice so its up to the individual

but my props to both and 92se-r to bad we dont ahve sigs anymore cuz damn!! your sig pic was hott

 

Dont cut. Get the Teins. I think someone said you cant cut maxspeeds, i dont know what the reason was though...
