Ive got a few questions for fellow maxima owners........

One has to do with lighting, is there a good back up light bulb i can upgrade to? are there any good upgrade bulbs for the side markers (do not have clear side markers)? my other question has to do with springs/struts....i have around 19700 miles on my car, would it be best to get aftermarket struts with aftermarket springs all at once, or should i be ok for a while with my stock struts? i am leaning towards the eibach springs, because i dont want TOO much drop. anyway, thats about all i can think of to ask right now. so tell me what you know.

it is worth it to do springs and struts at once. Why do the labor twice?

h & r offers a smoother ride with not too much of a drop, you can still clear speedbumps going straight and driveways.. as for reverse bulbs they do offer those halogen replacements.. it's 50watts or so.. nopi, or summit racing might have those. struts, try kyb agx, or koni adjustables. i don't recomend tokico blue's i've heard bad things abotu them.. they dont' last long although they do have a life time warranty on them.

i heard you can purchase helper springs from GC superately.. try those, it'll save you from snapping or bending a strut rod, shock body. prolly go with koni.

i want to go with Koni struts, but how hard it is to install the Konis, they are strut inserts for the front and direct bolt ons for the back right? and im not sure of anywhere around here that would install them for me........thats y i was gonna go with tokico, even though i HAVE heard bad things about them . HELP!!

If you wait a little bit, I will hopefully get the KYB AGX I have on order from Cattman soon. I'll let you know how those go.
