Is this ok w/ the 6th gen maxima's?

 

I may be wrong on this, but I believe I've read that they don't go well when coupled together.

 

I have had this set-up on my car for a long time and have had no problems.

 

what setup...stock struts and eibachs?

 

no gr2's and konis....

jesus welcome to the site

 

thanks....

 

Yeah you have no worries. I still have the OEM struts and the car is doing just fine. But I have heard if you throw some 22's on the max then your in a world of hurt down the road.

 

Thank you for your reply.

I was planning on 20's. Think that will be a problem?

 

Not at all homie. I have 20's on her rightnow. The drop is perfect and the struts are holding like they were new. You should be good. Just makesure your tires fit. If you want a perfect fit to fill majority of the wheel well after the Eibachs are on, get the Toyo Proxes 4. They make the Max look so damn low. I have had those for about 3 months now and I still make my girlfriend drive the car so I can cheese at the Max. lolololol Holla

 

I was looking at the Nitto 555's but I'll look at the Toyo's. Are you running 245/35/20?

 

BTW this is the kit I need right?

Says 2.0"/1.8" MAXIMA and thats throwing me off a little. I thought the rear is supposed to drop only .8"

 

There has been Max's that have gone both ways. I had mine on this setup for over a year and a half with no problems. Other guys on the site had their's blow just 3 days after lowering. Just depends I suppose. But if you are looking for performance and longevity, the best would be to upgrade from stock of course.
I do agree with GrimMax that Toyo is a great tire (on my 2nd set) but it's the tire size not the brand that will fill the wheel well or not, 245/35/20 with a 35mm offset is where I am sitting (now on coilovers and before on Eibach's) with no problems...

 

i got eibachs with oem struts....and im doing just fine...the car feels much better now.

 

I highly recommend getting new struts, because you increase the chance of blowing the stocker by lowering. Somehow they lose oil/gas and blow out because lowering expedites their death.

I think OEM is Monroe, and for how cheap they are, you can atleast go with those.

 

Yes Sir. The Toyo's are all seasons. Thats why they fit so perfect. Let me know what you choose.

 

some early runs like 04 blow easy and are upgraded under warranty. you may risk blowing your struts like others after lowering and risk warranty replacement.

 

I just had both struts replaced by Nissan last week under warranty. My right strut was making noise and they said the new struts they installed (both sides) are improved. I have an 05' SL

 

BTW,

Has anyone use Eibachs only in the front and left the rear OEM springs on?

Is this ok to do?

I don't like the rear to be lower then the front as it looks w/ alot of the Eibach pics I see.
