Tein S and rough ride
Well, guys, I finally removed the Tein springs from my 2002 Maxima. With the 19s on the car, the ride is bouncy and rough to say the least on anything but smooth road. I decided to remove them and go back to stock, as I only use it for school right now and don't really have much else to do besides homework, but I took it apart in pieces. For those of you with Tein springs and you think the ride is a little on the rough side, try removing your rear springs and going back to the stock springs. Even though it raises the rear, .5 inch in my case, the ride is dramatically different. It is still stiff over really rough stuff, but the general ride dramatically improves IMO. I had the GR2 shocks on the car and they are wonderful with the stock springs, but I miss that low front end all ready. Anyway, I just thought I would share that incase any of you have issues with the Tein ride.

Yes, part of the improvement in lateral G's has everything to do with the fact the combo feels much more predictable and controlled over the last combo. This is, in fact, what counts for anyone who drives, as feeling confident with the setup allows some piece of mind. The additional bounce and pitching of the Tein setup does not provide this comfort.

when is some company gonna get smart and make just a front replacement spring set for the max, with a 1/2-3/4" drop and same spring rate as stock springs. THEY WOULD MAKE A KILLING with those of us who don't want to drop the whole car (I think my back sits low enough as it is - only a 1 1/2 finger gap - but would love to drop the front 1/2 to 3/4 fo an inch...)
