i like mine but just found out that one of my CV boots is busted and to replace my axle will be around $600-$700. Not too happy about this, and have a feeling this wouldn't have happened if my car was still on stock suspension

depends an axle will end up costing more than 200 dollars in itself, whoever said that probably just had a boot replaced. price also depends on where you get the axle and who installs it for you but i would say that im pretty sure its gonna run you more than 200 dollars for a new axle installed.

not to hi-jack but how high r ur guys wheel wells from the ground, i thought i was rahter low, but it sounds like some of u are way lower than me, mine are 24 inches front and rear form the ground to the middle of the bottom of the well, and im runnin the stock 17s with 45 series rubber
yes i know that means my rear is set higher than the front, thats how i like it!

I' ve been running on D2 for the last 2 months, the car is litterally on rails. I had to re-thigh the colar few time but other than that the car is very stable in every condition. The only drawback are the flimsy rubber that come with the D2, and few rattles that appear because the ride is much stiffer than stock. When I compare to a stock Maxima side to side with mine I'm like 5-6 inches lower. From the front subframe there is about only 3-4 inches of ground clearance.

that's crazy how you guys get so low. for some reason i thought going any lower than 25 wasn't possible with most coilovers (besides d2's) since they claim to only lower up to 3", and i thought our front ends sit higher than 28" stock.. i thought i was stretching my imagination when i was hoping for 25" all around w/o setting it at the lowest setting...
#27
actually i voted unhappy but now that i have all my little quirks worked out with the D2's I love them. Sure they a re a little uncomfortable, but the look and handling more than make up for the rough ride over bumps!! I think this would be one of the best mods out there...
