Rear Shock Mounts for Lowered Maxima's
 
Check out this link, its from VQPOWER. I was reading up on it as I have some serious bump issues with my Tein Springs and Tokico Blue Shocks. I have been looking all over for something that would make the rear alot smoother without losing the lowering. I believe this is it. Take a look at this webpage, its the first article in the middle. Let me know what everyone thinks?

Looks good to me. I'd like more info on these myself.

It looks like it would work but mostly for those with coilovers because as far as I can tell raising the shock mount can increase travel but using a normal lowering spring will make the rear drop lower. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, because I am no expert.

i would think the same thing...if the shock is put up an inch or so then i would think the rear tire would come up with it about an inch or so

I emailed the guy and asked him about these. If it makes my rear a little lower without the harsh bumping, then I think its a good deal.

Those are my mounts that I'm currently selling in the GD forum.

Right now I only have them for 4th Gens.

I do plan to get them worked out for 5th Gens as soon as I can. I have contacted wildmanal to get together and measure his car.

Just to clarify, these do not change the ride height of the car at all. They increase rear suspension travel for a smoother ride and handling.

Hopefully I can get something together for 5th Gens within the next month or two. :thumbsup:



On another note, my power at home is out from Hurricane Ivan. I have no idea when it will be back on. I can access the ORG from work, but not my personal hotmail Email. You can contact me either way, but it may be a day or two before I can reply, especially over weekends. I am still taking orders for 4th gen mounts and if anyone closer to me than Bham, AL wants to volunteer to be the 5th Gen guinea pig, hit me up.

I'm free when ever you need me. You have my cell so just call whenever. About half of B-ham lost power. I personally didn't lose power, but lost cable. So I'm at my sister's apt browsing the org.
