Need Feedback on suspension setup!!!
My dad isn't very happy with the ride and handling quality of his 04' max he's had from brand new. After having the dealer R&R blown front struts that only had 6000 miles on them he still isn't happy. He came to me with this, so I did some research and came up with the following solution.
Front shortened Koni's - only found them on activetuning.com
Rear AGX's shocks
Rear Progress swaybar - got one on my sentra, so I figured it's gotta be good for the max.
Front Stillen strut bar - only decent one I could find made for 6th gens.
Better tires, those stock RSA's suck ***** - I recommended the following: BF Goodrich G-sport; Kumho ASX's; Kumho SPT KU31 and TOYO Proxes4.
Please feel free to criticize or make better suggestions to this setup. All this would be done on the stock springs. It's an 04 Max SE with chrome factory 18's.

Cattman
Uhmmmm.......
Skip the gadgets, get Cattman RSB and Spring kit, all made by Progress.
We have DEUSexMaxima who rips around tracks in his setup and he seems pretty happy.
I went from sloppy stock to Cattman awesomeness and couldnt be happier. Highways, offramps, onramps, city, country all roads are just awesome with this setup!
If your going for a total setup, get the TEIN, its a full setup already predesigned for the maxima and ready to be installed, plus its adjustable.
Get rid of the stock springs, the car looks stupid with them on it.

I don't know what his issue is with the stock setup, except maybe that it's a little firm for some street driving. I personally think it's spot on for street.
But if you go with any of the track-oriented stuff he isn't going to be happy, since it'll tighten up the bump response more than stock ...
