my wifes 02 se
Just a couple pics of the 02. Im looking for info on drop and any performance. Its a 02 se 3.5 auto loaded out and we have had it since new. It has 90k on it now and it has a short ram intake and 18" wheels and 235/40/18 eagle gt's.

Its time for struts I think ( not sure how to tell) so I will be looking for some of these options. I do know I only want to lower the front to level. She babies the car so speed is not a big deal and it makes good power as is with the intake and vq. I will get more pics when it clears up. My future plans are tint all lens and put 6k highs,lows,fogs from ddm tuning. Im new to the maxima forum world but any info on how to make this car better would be awesome.

What does that mean? How is the car not parallel to the ground unless you replaced front or rear springs?
New to the forum advice... the best way to get answers is to start or participate in focused threads. You're unlikely to get an engaged conversation with short, unrelated questions all within the same thread. Most of the responses will be the same; (case in point, "looks nice", "love the blue", "more pics".) More likely the thread will get wildly out of control.
Comprende? Good luck. Nice car.

There are a lot of ways to make the Maxima better but it depends on what you want out of it.
Basic drop spring/strut setups are in the stickies too. "5th Gen Suspension Thread" should be your first stop.

Nope.
Your struts are worn out if you go over a bump and your car bounces more than once.

Popular performance mods are intake, headers, exhaust, VIAS block off plate, intake manifold spacers and different tuning equipment. Look at the stickies for some beginner information.

Boy your pretty courageous thinking about doing all those mods to your wifes car! I was very subtle when I did anything to my wifes car. Now that it's my daughters DD, I'm thinking about getting a little more aggressive.
I replaced bulbs with some LED's and just ordered a front lip spoiler for it........
