anybody got KYB GR-2/Maxspeed setup? if you do, how is it?

 

After more than 2 years with Maxspeeds, I am looking for something else. The ride is ok, but I would like to be lower and slightly smoother than what I have now. Riders in the back cause the rear of the Maxima to jump up and down over bumps. The Maxspeeds are starting to sag in the rear as well. You get what you pay for.

I like the look of the Tein H techs. Slightly lower than the Maxspeeds and better ride quality than the Tein S techs. It is also a higher quality progressive spring. Should last much longer than the Maxspeeds.

 

those with h&r and tein h/s weigh in here:

My ride is stock. Looking to lower my ride while keeping the stock ride quality. Any suggestions?

 

Tein H-Techs, very happy with them.

 

Just placed an order for those and the EDFC! to ME!!!!!

 

Maxspeeds with stock shocks for now.

 

hows the ride with them? I'm lookin to do the same setup as well.

 

eibach pro-kit and tokico blues

 

I've got Eibach and GR2 setup with Progress RSB. I love the ride!

 

The ride is fine. The only problem I am having is a little rubbing at the rear due to the G35C stock sized tires (245/45-18). I will be changing the tires to 235/40-18 real soon.

 

I have the maxspeeds now, and also run the 350z 245/45-18's in the rear and never have had an issue with rubbing. maybe the offset of the wheel that is causing the rub on your car? the 235/40 is a little smaller than stock. the best size to run is the 245/40's if the rim will hold them...you should have an 8in rim for the 245's.


an afterthought...i have not seen anything on b&g springs...they are top of the line like eibach and h&r. every spring co i have spoken to references them, yet i don't know of anyone on the org with them...

I thought running the 245's would be too wide for the front of the car. The offset for the G35C rims is 30. I am now running the stock G35C 225's up front and they seem to be almost flush.

 

tokico blues and progress springs with 2k5 SE wheels so far no rubbing issues

 

are speed bumps an issue with s tech drops? like do you have to go diagonally? i grew out of that ricer habit i dont wanna have to start it again lol

 

Eibach And Koni Yellows

 

Good choice...

Do ya have pics of your Max with the 05 rims? Just curious to see how it'd look with that suspension set-up...

 

Not on yet, but just bought Tein-H and Tokico Blues. Can't wait!

Thanks Housecor for the excellent write-up on your site, it really helped with the decision.

 

honestly it's alot lower than I imagined due to the wheel size bigger than OEM..Ill post pics later tonite

 

Gotta love both looks, stock or dropped...sems like its personal prefrence..anyways im a new Maxima owner...got a 2001 SE AE ...just love the car and im going to have plenty of fun with it....

 

 

nesman, congrats on your first post! welcome to the club! i am sure you will find lots of great info here...don't forget to check out the Group Deal section and the parts for sale section when you are looking for something. contribute as soon as possible so you can use the search function...it is invaluable.

 

I'm in the same boat, I love the look when then tire looks tucked under the fender, Like the BMWs but confort is an issue so I'm torn between the S teins or the progress

 

Tein-S techs + KYBGr2's

 

2002 Nissan Maxima w/ Tein S Tech and Tokico Illumia....not bad...kind of bumpy...want to get better springs

 

I'm using H&R sports

 

here's another pic

 

Looks good... thanks...

 

Hey SoonerMaxima...this is the setup I'm possibly looking into buying. Have you tried changing to a softer setting on the Illimina's ? How's the camber and tire wear??? Thanks in advance!

 

H & R's on my 2K

 

Progress springs and Illuminas going on as soon as its nice outside to work on the car.

 

For those who have been running on Tien S and Illuminas for a while...on a 2k...

Can you tell me if the camber is bad and tire wear is uneven? I want this setup but not if its going to result in an uneven tire wear...

Thanks!

 

Stock springs, stock struts.

The roads here in Louisiana are HORRIBLE. They have ruined my rear springs - especially the right rear spring. I had to put spring blocks in the rear to keep the car from sagging long enough to research what spring/strut package to put on it.

I want to put a package on WITHOUT lowering the car... any ideas?

 

I have a 2001 maxima gle with 18" giovanna black ararats on 225/40/18 I want to drop it to get that clean look like a 1inch or 1 1/4 what springs would you recommend and would I need to get struts everyone says that u should get struts if ur getting springs but I dont think a 1 - 1 1/4 I would need new struts would I?

 

also I want a nice ride I dont want any hard **** I want a near stock ride as possible.

 

ok, i'm offically sick of my teins s-tech and gr-2 combo. the s-techs are banging soo hard on any little bump. I need to get the h-techs.

 

tokico and vogland springs

well it handles great like a race car but I was on the long island expressway and that is pretty rough and it got a little annoying.

 

rough or bouncy?
how is the drop?

 

I too am interesred in the ride with these Vogtland Springs as I am getting ready to purchase my new suspension and as of right now I am looking at Tokico HP Blues and either Maxspeeds or the Vogtland. I know not many Orger's have these from what I have seen but I am giving it serious thought. Any input is appreciated as usual.

 

what size rims are those..
