hehehhe anyone used them on the 2k yet? can they answer this question? we found out today and the answer is NO. Cattman Coilovers dont fit the 5th gen....YET hahah Anyways, according to brian Catts, the measurements were done on the fronts and the fronts will fit but the rears wont. sucks

 

i'd figured they won't...because of the placement of the rear trailing arms...on 4th gen, they are in front of the beam(as in towards the front of the car..) and on 5th gen, they are behind the beam..oh~ wellz...

 

its actually the top mount thats bigger on the 5th gen. The Cattman unit is smaller.

 

ahhh....ic....

 

for the rear... top hat, spacer and the oem rubber mounts (assuming it's the same on the fifth gen) until he can fit the new rear mount?

BTW, my old parts are sitting in a box if Brian thinks it will work but doesn't have the parts in stock. Will trade for one leather parking brake cover

The new coils are nice and quiet with the same handling,,, yummy.

 

Cattman products

 

Um ok...so whats the deal then? If you talked to him what did he say he was gonna do for those that he already sold them to?

 

Is Brian on vacation?


When is Jeff coming back up?

 

Brain came back last friday and started responding to email on sunday. Hopefully he will respond to my email about this soon.

 

well, i guess whoever has Cattman coils for the 5th gen is currently A SSED out? Brian is working on a solution but until he gets them made, i guess you guys gotta be patient... I know patience first hand, i been waiting/workin on the motor for 11 1/2 months!

 

So i'm just suposed to wait? Theres no way to make them fit?..For now.

 

HOw can you make the coil-over fit on cars that aren't designed for in the first place?

If you want to do that, you should have gotten other coil-over systems which have been available for 4th gen max long time ago, for cheaper price &better quality, and make it fit (probably easier,too) why waited for Cattman to make something that "Sort of" fit----

Cattman products = trying to make it fit but not really

 

This is all good info! I was ready to order this mod! Good thing I waited. I will get them when he fixes them though...then he can finally get busy on a Cattman Catback for our cars!!! Why should MrBurner be the only one who profits from the Cattman Catback?!? I hear the Greddy one is HELLA Loud! So I'm still in search of a catback!

Deac :vampire:

 

I agree with MaxTuner, what ever happened to research & development on these parts, only the fronts were measured? And since they are not cheap the application should have been simple and easy....I'm glad I waited on some feed back before I ordered mine.

 

I sent Brain an email asking about this and I am waiting to see what he has to say... I think we all should give him a chance to respond and fix the problem...If he does then great. Theres not many company's that make parts for the max I for one think it's nice that he is even trying to develpe anything for the cars. From what ive seen on here alot of people are mad at stillen... and if you mad now at cattman then what the hell are you gonna mod with...somtimes sh*t happens it sucks i know cuz I was ready to put them on monday...But again if he fixes it then no harm no foul. This is the only complete coilover for the cars anyway.

 

.......I know that Brian will help correct the problem for those who have the coilovers already and will find and correct the install problem. So I will still continue to buy his products, because they seem to me, to be the best out there for the Maxima and I thank him for taking the time, money and effort to do so. I just thought that after the fronts and rears were measured a prototype set would have been put on a 5th-gen to check the spring rates and the damping force. Then the problem with installing them would have been discovered.

 

Qustion? Has anybody told Brain other than my email that there is a problem? What is the exact problem...That the top mounts don't fit? If so can the stock mounts be used or the gen 1 mounts in the meantime? As far as testing goes I thought he did test them...Im not gonna search for the post but his post went somthing like "they do fit on the 2000 and up maxima's after checking them" or somthing to that affect.

 

The only complete coilover????

Try again, where have you been?

 

What other complete coilover is there then...GC is not a complete coilover.

 

ummm, from what i hear They only measured the fronts and those fit. Im sure they''ll have this prob solved but what kinda isnt good is that people are spending $1600 for coilovers and they never even been tried on their 5th gen.

What other coilover kits are avalible? We always hear rumors that certain Japanese coilovers will fit but i duno anyone thats tried it yet.

 

Doh!

 

That's why I asked you where you have been????

JIC is one of them and has been always available for 4th gen max a long time. Time to check out some JDM shops!
