6th gen suspension is totally different. I doubt you guys even need something like this.

Anyways, PM Matt93SE. He is the one who makes them.

Update:

Today I also noticed that the ride became slightly better, especially over speedbumps.

Do people who don't Auto X do this to their street car? just curious.

Arggg... your query upsets the searching, and thread hijacking gods.. but because I am guilty of the same offenses on many ocassions I will say the answers are on the board if you look for them. I have posted a lot about SFCs so search for SFC and my screen name. Do the ghetto google search if you havent donated.

Well that's slightly more complicated than that... but the chassis does have to be as stiff as possible.

Cars that are driven on the street will benefit from this as well because stiffer chassis results in a better ride.

I don't autocross or even drive that aggressively on the street, but a solid feeling car is something that is difficult to live without once you know what a car "can" feel like. The unibody Max has a somewhat flexible chassis, its like a warm tortilla when compared to a late model european brand. I read that Nissan has done quite a bit in the chassis stiffening dept. with the latest 07' Altima.

I can't afford an 330i or an S4 and their reliability isn't that great either. With the Maxima you get good power and reliability and with the right chassis, suspension, and hp mods its about the best you can do for <$20k. Just get some SFC's, Illuminas with some good springs, ~100lbs of dynamat, and headers to counteract that weight, 06' brakes and that is about as close as you can get to a front wheel drive near luxury sports sedan. I really like the way the car feels now, its much quieter with dramatically impoved ride quality and squeaks and rattles are almost nonexistent.
