well since the springs are way smaller than stock, it rebounds way quicker.. giving a somewhat of a bouncy ride with the coils set at soft...
I haven't tried hard yet to give you a complete answer to your question... I'll keep updating..

ok finally finished the rear and posted pics... now that I have all corners in is not bouncy at all, but nice and firm the way I like it... I had to hurry and I left the rear alittle too low and when it hits a nice size bump it rubs alittle, but some more adjustments to the coil would take care of that..
when infact I fix the adjustments it won't rub anymore for you guys interested on coils.. it rides firm when set two turns away fron being full hard...
so far so good with them, I will finish tomorrow and once again update...

thanx PAL.....
as for TV's..... right now I'm focused on painting my engine covers and the lower grille the same color as the car and getting the engine bay to look good...
I'm working on the EYE LIDS for the car and hopefully have them this saturday...
little mods to get out the way first, then I will hit the audio/video hard... so far I did do the BIG 3 getting it set up for my system...
thanx to all for your support and comments.....

I'm not really feeling the rims too much. I'm not hating or anything, but I just think 22" rims are toooooo big. I just think if you're gonna buy a maxima, whats the point of putting 22's on it? I'm sure you're just doing it for the attention, but what about the ride quality. I'm sure you won't be using all 265 horses now that you went up to 22's. Sure it probably looks good but now you can't even put those horses to use. Just my opinion.

I was going to go performance wize. but due to lack of mods available to really pump up the hp, I desided to go for the look instead..
ride. the ride is firm now that installed the K sport coils and I have not one complain about them yet.. I took the car down some roads and the ride was better than it was stock.. not stiff but firm..
I don't think I can explain it I think you have to try it for yourself to really know.. but I won't be doing it if it wasn't all cracked up to be... I love how it is. I thought I was going to loose so much more than how it was stock, but no, that wasn't the case.
it goes good, it rides awsome...... can't complain..

rear: this is not an issue, I left it too low when I installed the coils cause it was getting late.. once up again it won't rub at all, just like it was when on stock springs and struts..

That looks much better tek, loweing the front made all the difference in the world to me. Some side skirts might create an even better look to make the car wrap around the rims even more...but dropping it fixed the problem where it looked like the car was sitting too high on those big wheels.

Oh I think big rotors with big calipers painted red would look nice on it too. Also a car wash.

So as of the moment, you have no problems with the 22's on the max and dropped like that? I mean not even with turning? How about w/ 4 grown adults ridin, does it scub then? It is truely a beautiful site, but scary at the same time... lol!!
