I REALLy need to drop my 5.5 gen maxima i bought the pro kit eibach springs i heard they gave a good drop plus there smooth but now i need to know what struts/shoock are the SMOOTHEST and absorb the bumps the smoothest so i can buy them and combine em with my eibach .... HELP i really want to buy THE SMOOTHEST struts and shocks out there! I dont mind if there expensive as long as i get a smooth ride and it absorbs all those killer bumps in NYC. thanks

 

illuminas with H&R springs

 

The H&Rs sag in the rear. I have Maxspeeds with Tokico Illuminas. You can adjust the ride to your liking.

 

Macalert, i just install my maxspeed with kyb gr2's today....how long did your spring take to settle in because from your pic my is a little higher than yours...

 

Progress Springs with Illumina's...should drop another 1/4 - 1/2 inch from pics

 

these maxspeed springs give the 5.5 max what kinda of drop how many inchs in front and rear ?

 

Come on guys he wants to know about the SMOOTHEST drop out there and in my opinion it would rule out Progress, Tein, and Eibach springs. From what I've heard Eibach springs are pretty stiff and bouncy. Maxspeed and H&Rs are the softest springs out there right now. As for struts I would choose the Illuminus simply because you can adjust them. Hope this helps.

 

H&R + Illumina's....soft

 

Well said.

 

Thanks man... hey I try

 

Tein H-Techs and gr-2's.

 

I dont know about the smoothest ride. But I will tell you I have Illuminas & Tein H Tech springs I love the drop & ride. Best of all Combined with Stillen FSTB & Stillen rear sway bar doing 85 mph on the parkway during a commute feels like 45 mph smooth as could be. Sometimes I find myself not realizing how fast I am really going. Its kind of weird you cant explain to someone how a suspension feels unless that someone has a modded suspension because it is truly night & day. Before I got my suspension done I would have told you that the Y-Pipe or an Intake should be the first mod done but after doing the suspension its no contest. Suspension is where you really feel the difference hey any max hear on the Org can go a 130 mph some get there faster than others but the difference in spirited driving is truly the way your car manuevers. Sorry to ramble but I love my suspension & would recommend it to any one.

 

It took about a month for the car to fully settle.

 

1.4" Front, 1.3" Rear.

 

He already purchased the springs. Way do you tards insist on telling him to buy something else?

Keep your Eibachs and buy the KYB GR2s. If you don't mind spending the extra money for adjustibility get the Illuminas. Both sets will work fine with the Eibach springs.

 

He asked for something smooth. And how is that saving money, are you going to sponser him?

 

What kind of drop do you have? The drop looks nice in your sig.

 

Yeah I know he already purchased the springs, but they're not the smoothest.

Definitily keep the Eibachs and just do what SR20DEN said. I don't think you'll be unhappy with your ride at all.

 

i dont mind selling my springs and getting those h&rs but i dont want a real low drop the eibach gives me 1.3 in front and 1.0 in rear, what do the H&R going to give me ? if i haveto buy the H&R i will money isnt the issue.

 

Maxspeeds and Illuminas. Better than stock!

 

baller!! lol jp here go here for what the drop looks like, and for smooth ride, i hear h&R's...

hey UCI maxima Thanks alot for the web sit it helped out alot i think the H&R's with the illumina would be the best for me thanks alot guys !

 

ok well since now want to buy the H&R i need to sell my eibach i bought them in a rush for like 270ish there basically brand new any offers ?

 

Maxspeeds are like $110 shipped to your door and are awesome. Just keep that in mind when you're shelling out $250 for H&Rs. There are tons and tons or org members who have these.

 

Progress with KYB. Honestly feels like stock.

 

Illuminas w/H&R's will give you the smoothest ride. Or you can go with JIC.

 

the maxspeeds and H&R feel the same ?

 

Close enough for you not to know the difference.

 

The Maxspeeds with Tokico Blues is a little softer than the H&Rs with Tokico Blues. They are also a little lower. I am happy with my Maxspeed/Tok combo.

 

H&R have progressive spring rates which translates better when absorbing rough pavement. I dont think the maxspeeds are progressive.

 

ok so H&R + illumina adjustable = most soft/smooth ride . . . ok anyone want to my eibach springs?
