You guys have never heard of D2 Racing before? Tisk tisk...

I was not aware they had products for the 5th Gen Maxima, but they make good stuff from what I gather...

Do these retain suspension travel, regardless of how low the car is set to?

I don't know if I like the all purple though. It would look like my HPI Super Nitro RS4 with all the purple aluminium parts through the wheels.

This is looking interesting. Plus the option of choosing different spring rates, and pillow ball mounts. The mounts would add $100 to the price, the springs $80 per pair, front or rear, $160 per set-this according to additional EBay auctions they have going. Would also need to know if struts are rebuildable, how does warranty service work, how to adjust, ...... Really need to get some comfort on reliability compared to JIC or TEIN too.

hmm.. their main office looks to be in taiwan. I should just have my father swing by to take a look.

it seems to have the monotube design like the JIC's and TEINS. Pillow ball mount option is also a plus
