H&R Sports...

Eibach with da blues

Eibach/Illuminas

Same as Shaggy, but im switching to Teins in a few days......I think Maxspeeds are great, but I wnated to go lower.......Eventually , I will be on coilovers.

anybody got Sprint installed with pictures...post it please i got the springs in my car...one problem tho, they are in the trunk

ur ish on 19's looks damn low already....but no potholes in cali so.....IMO i'd just wait for coilovers...why keep reinventing the wheel?

i just ordered some H-techs from the SWA group deal and i already have some H&R. i will be putting the h-tech on the front and H&R on the rear to give me an even drop rather than having one end higher or lower.

Tein S Tech's finally got them after 2 months of frustration through UPS and the guy who sold them to me on a GD on Maximaforums.

I will put them on Sunday.

Hey all, I have checked the pics of everyone who posted of having Maxspeed springs. I want more pics of drop with them and some feedback if possible, considering getting them because I want lower drop and improved handling but want to keep the ride comfort near to stock.

Thanks in advance.

Progressive...my favorite mod yet!!!

riding on progress springs with stock struts.. I think my struts blew im not sure or something is loose coming from the back left side trunk area. I'm wondering if i put on the tokico illuminas would they blow? I'm not too familiar with struts. I' guessing if i put on tokicos probably over time 20-30 they'll blow, so my question is will the Illuminas last longer 30-40k? 60k and up? What do you guys think.. (my bad for whoring this thread.)

Ground Controll 500lbs springs front and 400lbs springs rear on Koni Yellows, absolutely worst ride ever, I hate driving the car. Makes my 11 year old G20 stock suspension feel like a race car- Skyline derrived suspension after all

Maxspeeds in the rear on 4th gen modded KYB AGX,
stock 4th gen springs in front on 5th gen struts




I was on Ground Controls and blew one strut.. just got a new AGX in the mail and will install Maxspeeds all around on AGXs saturday..

if they aren't low enough, ( they seem to be quite high right now.. ) i will get H-Techs

i couldn't agree more

i suggest you take those things out ASAP before you blow your struts.. i already killed one

terrible design, almost unsafe and harmful to the car..

H&R Springs combined with KYB GR2s. Recently installed. Ride is awesome. Not too harsh and not too floaty. I'm Happy!

I blew out 6 sets of front shocks due to poor Koni design- the strut insert body rusts out in the housing of the OE shock that U gut out to install the insert. Then it starts to leak out fluid, and shock is blown ASAP. My ear ones are on their last legs, I don't know if I wanna warranty the shocks last time and sell them as new, for cheaper price. I'm switching to JIC Magic.

check post 51 on this thread..yes im whoring this thread

How's the ride on those teins compared to other springs.

I am thinking about getting the tein s-techs with the illuminas. So if the ride was too bone jarring then I could soften up the shocks some, right? Any longer term problems with the s-techs? What about the handling?

I'm also lookin at getting the illuminas but not sure weather to go with H or S-tech...only time will tell

I have Tein S-Tech and im thinking of Illuminas for shocks and struts

check my homepage. http://members.cardomain.com/phat2kmax

this is my 2k with maxspeeds and stock struts. i think i am going to do them again on my 2k2. i ordered the illuminas thursday!!!!

Still stock here. Gonna lower my 3rd gen first.

everytime i visit LA i think the roads in NYC are perfect to the roads in LA. you dont know how bad they have it. NYC is tolerable on a lowered car, not in LA though

Tein with Illuminas!

Currently running Maxspeeds with stock struts.

Teins and GR2's. I wish i would of got AGX ajustables but oh well, Anybody blow out there GR2's yet?

H.Tech's with Illuminas

sprint springs and tokico blues. ride can be rough at time but i love the drop. Might switch to illluminas when i get some more $$$

__________________________________________

i have eibach but im not likeing them much i still think my front end is way way to high and sometimes not always but sometimes i think it would look better little lower in the back also not sure ill be posting pics soon of my car i want some feed back from ppl for what to do next after i take care of my 200 miles to a tank problem... Over all on the springs the ride is nice but just my personal opionion the front is still too high!!

I've got stock right now, but plan on upgrading to illuminas and not sure which springs. I'm looking for above all, handling improvement. Some drop would be nice, but that will happen with all aftermarket springs. Ride comfort is secondary to handling performance though. Any suggestions with reasons would be welcome. Just PM me. Thanks.

happy with maxspeeds. my first switch

fyi: the maxspeeds w/ the factory struts seemed to be considerably lower on my 2k than on my 2k2 with the illuminas. the maxspeeds dropped me 2k 1.75 front and 1.6 rear, and on my 2k2 w/ illuminas, i am lucky if there is an inch...some places only .5 drop. check my cardomain page and look at page one of the 2k after the springs were on, and then look at pg 3+4 of my 2k2 with measurments at the fender...26 is the lowest point. the weird thing is that the drop wasn't the same on lf and rf and rr and lr. ride was very stock with the ms and factory, but if you are looking for handling improvement and comfort, the illuminas are the way to go. i would personally choose other springs for these struts...maybe tein s tech. my .02

ok which eibach kit are u ppl useing i have sport line, and i think i wanna go with pro not sure

Huh? They don't make the Sportline springs for Maximas. Just the Pro-Kit.

Whats the spring rate on Progress springs?

TK

TEIN H TECH with TOKICO ILLUMINAS on MILLE MIGLIA MM11-3 17inch rims.

I'm getting my maxspeeds installed as I type. Its at the shop. I'm going to ride the stock struts and shocks for a while until I decide what to go with. A lot of people seem to be happy with the maxspeeds so that's my first choice.
What struts/shocks should I go with next?

I have a question, with my 4th gen max people were saying you shouldn't pair certain springs like eibach's with struts like the blues or the kr-2's cause they are stiff and will break the struts. Is this true? If so what combos should i stay away from?

Thanks

Anybody?

Thanks
