Tokico/Shox.com/Maxspeed/etc.
Well, after bugging everyone about it for about a month, I finally did it. I ordered Toks for my bouncy GXE/Maxspeed setup. The initial quote from Shox.com was $328. I asked about a Maxima.org discount and he sold them to me for $310 (membership has it's privs?). Anyway, shipped it was $338.
It took me so long to get them cuz (duh) there's no simple answer for aftermarket shocks for 5th gens, and this was the best I could do. And I ordered them after a mere 64% flawless rate on my poll:
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ght=after+year
So, I am a bit nervous I guess, but somehow I think it'll be fine.
They should be here next week and I'll get them on soon after. I think I may be one of the first to go w/ the Maxspeed/Tokico combo, no?
Jeez, I hope I did the right thing! I am really ready to settle down with my car and just make car payments. Hope this cures the bug.

Damn Circo, those Moda R6's look Niiiiiiice... Just when I was thinking I was happy with my stock SE wheels for a while, you go and make me think otherwise... I was having trouble deciding what my favorite 18" were, Mille Miglia Evo5 or Moda R6, and I think after seeing them on yours (mine is black too) I think the R6's have the trophy... Props to you.

What happens if you don't trim??? I just bought the Maxspeeds on the group deal that just ended yesterday, but now I want to know if I can run them with my stock struts. Please tell me if that would be ok or not, also please explain the trimming thing.
Thanks

so as a result i thought about the softness of the Tokicos, especially compared the stock SE. so when you hit a dip... but yeah i guess you wouldn't bounce twice eh?
