I've decided to go with Tokico Illuminas and H&R springs. I will be getting new rims next. Does anyone have 5.5gen with a drop on 17s? I was thinking of keeping it OEM sized but lightweight.

Photos?

 

I'm on S-techs with TE rims

 

see sig....... coilovers

 

I has, with chunky tires. 235/45-17 to be exact.

 

facepalm

 

Personally, I don't like H&Rs. They don't offer an even drop (the front will still be higher than the back) unless you only do H&Rs on the front with stock springs on the back like Housecor did.

Anyway, my car is dropped on BC Racing coilovers (stock 17's). 2nd pic and sig pic are of stock wheels plasti dipped black

 

^^Damn that looks good jowo!

See sig, dropped on G35 sedan 17's. With even chunkier tires, 225/55/17, fffuuuuuuuuuuuu....I need some new tread.

 

Dropzone springs (2" drop) w/ illuminas:



drop on BC coilovers:

 

Wheel arches are larger in the front.

 

nobody sees 'wheel arches are larger in the front' all they see is the front sits higher

 

Here's mine... my fronts were definitely lower in this picture. Tein SS coilovers.

Murdered OEM rims, red calipers, and a clownish drop? Aw man, Joel. You went from tastefully modded Maxims, to full-on Teen Racer.

What's next, a roof spoiler and a twin-loop muffler? Might as well paint flames down the side, and call it a day.

 

14.3#'s / wheel, 38.5 #'s / corner.

I personally do not like the look anymore. But they are lightweight. I may be in the market for a different set of lightweights soon.





I like the look of OEM TE's better but they're as heavy as my MMEV5's.

 

ill sell my purple rims to complete the ricer look

 

What size tire are you running on the 17s.....

 

is that also a sticker to the right of where the mudflap should be?

OP see my sig

 

Pretty sure that's the Cattman decal, in black. Is that right, jowo9?

One, low-key decal representing for Catts... can't fault the man for that one, Hotshot.

 

Thanks for all of the pics.

I think that with a drop 18s or 19s look more fitting.

 

only reason i switched back to 18s (aside from being a wheel *****) was because of how low i was, the vibration i was getting...

18s



19s

 

17x8 +45 (hate the offset, but they're light) on 245-45 17's.

 

It doesn't matter what you say John, I think stance matters. The stock suspension leaves the front sitting noticeably higher than the back and it's just ugly. My car really isn't THAT low (25" all around). That picture was taken at ~6'4" high so it makes it look lower than it is. If you look at my sig pic, you should notice that it's actually at a pretty nice height. Also, there are a whole lot of newer vehicles with stock black wheels. You might not agree with some of my mods, but not every maxima has to look completely stock with a bunch of titanium in the engine bay to be "tasteful". You do your thing, I'll do mine

 

Keep in mind that every picture posted is a more aggressive drop than the H&Rs.

 

Yes. Stance matters. That's why I'll never drop my Maxima.

 

I'm just gonna stop right here. Everyone who knows you at all knows you'll have the last word

 

That's not true.

 

If I had CO's, I'd probably do that too.. I dunno.

 

everyone in this thread thats on coilovers is a ricer

 

how many people laugh at your car on a daily basis? just curious

 

And if I had CO's, I'd probably come down an inch, so that the gap were more uniform between the tire and the lip. I regret not getting Tein SS last year when I bought the Blues... but that ship has sailed.

There. I said it. Clearly that's not as fun as razzing jowo9.

Look, I'm not blind... I see the gap. What I don't see is why it matters so much to (young) people today. I see it, and just don't care.

You can use a cordless drill to remove lug nuts?

 

No a chordless impact wrench.

 

<<<< HUGE ricer.
