that's so true. i had a set of s-techs on stock struts for a short period of time. i had 17" wheels and i couldn't stand the ride. the car constantly CRUSHED over all bumps and joints on the road. really bad combination.
! Quit being a
sidekick and imput something usefull. owned
you think that terrible springs, stock struts, and 20s ride great. you are clearly very wrong.
josh is explaining it just fine. i just refuse to waste my time on you.

i said you were wrong. i dont think that you deserve an explanation since with your current setup, you have no idea what you are talking about. im not going to waste my time on someone who has proven he doesnt actually care about handling.

Ya, I said it rides great all right
So you can see it I never recommended using S-tech springs. I said H&R would be the way to go.
By making this post your wasting time on me
arguing with josh when you have a proven ignorance of suspension and handling
me and josh would run circles around you and your set-up

Said rides good not great and pointed it out a couple times.
Good luck keeping up in a straight line.
Still wasting time on me

why is there even a discussion/debate about this nonsense? Once you lower your car man, the handling that you once had will be slightly worse. IMO, the tires that you get to wrap your rims in will play massively into how your vehicle handles..Just take this information and run with it: the car wont be the same on 20's no matter what you do...its not really a sacrifice, but at the same time, dont look to be a "performer", and dont think everything will be like it once was.
It still boils down to what you prefer man.
As far as the whole 'angle' ordeal...OP, you were wrong on that issue. Its nothing to be ashamed of. No one knows everything! Just take the info and keep it as common knowledge to you!

once again, all of this boils down to is a matter of opinion...You asked for advice bro and you got it from all directions...For me, I personally love the LOOK of the 20's on my car. its probably the best looking maxima IMO around the state (so ive been told as well). But besides that, if ur not into performance too much, going with 20" rims are not that great of an idea...However, if you are looking to have your car stand out from all the rest of the maximas and still have a descent ride, then 20s are not a bad idea. As aforementioned, i am running h-techs and tokico blues and have no real true issues other than the fact that when i have more than 3 people in the car, the rear right side always rubs but only on heavy bumps and such. Other than that everything is peachy! Enjoy your 20's when u get them bro. Haters will hate.

Secondly, to the dude talking about
But for real....To the Original Poster....Lower your maxima on 20s...the only person that the ride and handling matters to is YOU...
i got 20s with tein coilovers and a otto front strut bar and it handles damn good better once i get another sway bar, but no not as good as a car running a smaller diameter wheel and tire. but it still handles better than expected. i mean if i was looking for all out handling i would at getting rid of this and getting something all wheel drive. im happy with my set up looks awesome and still handles really well. and the ride aint bad at all.

im on the market for new springs and struts and ive reading a lot lately and i guess man nobody here can come to a conclusion on which struts or which springs are good. so i think its a waste of time even to ask people here. some say h&r are crap and some eibach are crap.
After reading everything People went illuminas and H&R or Eibachs thats what everybody seems to be happy with.
