no problem! I mean before you spend $1200 on coilovers you should atleast know how they feel...let me know

neither lol. But I may be going to canada the end of this year. If I do ill coordinate something so that I could meet you on the way there

 

If you make the effort to hop off the interstate on your way past town, I'll happily take you out for dinner.

 

glad i have a maxima now and saw this thread, i have owned vws for the past 10 years and the theory that they have over there is get coilovers and SLAM it on the ground. not what they are ment for.

thanks for the info for the lurkers

 

I keep thinking, why is lowering the car so appealing to so many people? Maybe it's a west-coast thing that over the decades just became ingrained in the aftermarket culture. I don't know, and I don't get it. It's just not on my radar.

In this regard, I feel kind of like a minority member.

 

Well im just gunna buy the Megan Racing Coilovers just bacause i can get a good deal on them and there local.
Thanks everyone for all the help!

 

i just want it lower a little bit as long as it handles like its on rails is what i am worried about. my old car was slammed 2.5 inches further down and it sucked. i hated driving it 10 miles to work let alone on longer trips

 

When you install it, tell us how the ride is, I'm most probably going to get these too, but i dont want a hard ride.

 

alright

 

okay guys my buddy who owns a performance shop, i asked him if he would recommend coilovers for my car, he said yeah they look good and everything but in about 2-3 months i would need to change all of the lower control arm. Is this True? cause he said its $150 each. and i really don't want to spend more money.


Thanks

 

<~~~ Regrets not getting coilovers.

Ride, is ok, but it gets brutal with my 18's.

Also not looking forward for the snow, I will be plowing my own way.

 

I wonder if The oem Mounts can be swapped out for the d2 top mounts. Any Suggestions?

Sorry OP- for the off topic question.

But I have been riding on nex GTs for a year 28000 miles and they rode like stock, ( I bought them used with 15000 miles!!!!!!!!!!!) But this past weekend I was driving a bit aggressive and hit a large dip. Kaput! my front is now leaking. It still rides fine but The only problem I see is that you cannot rebuilt them.

NEX GT review
Rode like stock
Ability to bring it so low that the oil pan literally touches the ground (never did that)
Not one noise evaaarr
Great Price

Cons.
Not a race inspired suspension
no camber adjustment.

So I am opting for the D2's due to the price and Florida's flat roads

 

tein not good for confort sorry more for speed and handling

 

Thanks for the insight. I'm sure this was invaluable to the Max community.

 

I bought D2s.

I found some reviews here.

I'll make sure I tell you this at Maxus

 

ahahaha

 

So basically They are a good coilover setup, but they act like a two year old. need lots of attention.

 

Rochester, I was in the same boat as you. I never really like my car to be low (coming from a SUV driver). When I got my maxima, I never thought I will lower it. But after seeing other members rides and some peer pressure... I decided to upgrade my stock suspension to tokico blues and HR springs... Looking forward to the setup for sure.

 

i wasnt a fan of lowering a car either until i did my 4th gen which was a eibach drop (i loved it) and no its not a west coast thing, maybe its cause you never really tried it before... i love messing with suspension, just like i do with exhausts, just give it a try, i promise you will get addicted

 

I have the Progress gen2 coilovers. There great for performance, but the ride sucks. I am running 18's on it. Here's a pic of the coilover and another to see how low my car sits, right now it's sits perfect for track use.


Check out my brake upgrade, you can see how much bigger my disc is from stock.

 

On my 200 SX i have the TEIN SS the ride is great and the car have great handling. Am getting the basic one for the max next year since i don't push the car as mush in curver as i do with my 200 SX

 

If you're interested.....motorstar sells their BC Coilovers for 900 shipped.

1-603-281-5114 ask for Eugene Bova Jr let him know you was referred by a NYCMaxima member.

 

I put Tein SSs on my car last week, I'm very happy with them.
