Ah why not...I have posted pics in a while. Here is my S. Tech drop. I'm very happy with it as I'm sure you will be. It could use to be a bit more stiff but oh well its a Maxima how stiff do you want it...

I think the main difference between my car and wildmanuals is the fact mine looked like it does 6 months before his...oh and the custom powdercoated 3 piece wheels. Actually I would like to meet up with him at some point and take pics...I think they would turn out great.

Hamy, I love the way your car looks....

How high is that lip with those S-Techs? I'm curious because i might want to buy one
Can you take a picture with a tape measure, measuring how high it is?

Why does the back of yours look higher? Seems weird...it's still up.

maxpol, I love how you painted your rims, looks like they were painted straight from the factory.. My question is what type of paint did you use and did you spray anything on top of the paint to keep is from fading or pealing off in the heat... Oh, and how did you paint it on sooo smooth?

It's not really smooth....you can't see the streaks.... but i'm going to repaint them and this time actually wait until the wheels dry....

I used regular old all purpose paint....and some clear coat...

Maxpol, why didnt you paint them chrome and make it look like the 03 Titanium Edition? Chrome would look sweet on that beautiful color..

The rear seems higher in that one pic because of how the car is sitting. That road dips in the middle and is higher on the sides. Its an even drop....anyhow about the MT lip, I'll get back to you on that. I just can't get over skandalouz's car!! 20s with S. Techs thats a must do for me now. Whats the offset?

Is the S-tech the lowest you can go with aftermarket springs on the max? besides coilovers of course.
