You really don't want to be cutting coils if you're worried about suspension performance. Eibach didn't make the rear too low, Nissan did. Our maxes are "blessed" with higher arches on the front wheel wells. If you adjust it to look balanced, it will actually throw off the balance of the car.

I'm glad I did not order mine yet. Let me know what you end up doing to remedy the problem. Good Luck. Put my stepmother up front and you should be fine.

Dude.. simple physics. The springs were enginered to hold a certain weight. You cut the springs and you change their properties. The same weight has to be held by less spring. There is no way a car with cut springs will handle the same as a car with regular springs. Your car may not explode or fall apart on the very first corner but it will handle differently than the engineers who designed the springs intended it to.

The easiest way to raise your cars a$$ is to use spring spacers. They are rubber inserts that go between the dead coils. They are good for raising the car just a tad. They're cheap too.
Oh and Hoon, how's your first day of school? School

it just lowers little bit more...quite honestly, my car handles much better with cut springs than before-cut...from my track experience..
