Sounds like you got a "pogo" effect with the suspension. Was a nice looking Maxima. I want to replace the stock struts with some AGX adjustable struts. The rear shocks "squat" while accelerating, like that from the factory. Lowering on stock setup only makes the rear squat worse like a pogo stick.

Sh*t man thats insane, good to know you made it out in one piece though, thats the main thing at the end of the day.
I was also thinking "yeah, the after pic will be the same car all souped up", then I got a shock, haha

woah... glad your okay man... almost the same thing happened to me 1 month ago. I got me another 6th gen... i am really happy with the saftey and comfort our cars have. Ive seen a lot of accidents that involve our 6th gens and the driver always comes out with only a few scratches.... since my accident i was really happy that my maxima kept me from harm..

Awwwwww man 
I'm so sorry to see that. I've always appreciated your input on our cars and liked your ride. I see you mention coilovers specifically in your post, do you think they had something to do with it? This is definitely in the top two wrecked Maxima's I've seen 
On the upside, I'm glad to hear that you are going to be okay. It's really amazing that you come away with minor injuries. Is the insurance going to take care of you?

Glad your alright, sad to see you crashed your car.
This and many other threads of 6th Gen Maxima owners crashing their cars, with no one else involved is slightly disturbing, my car is essentially sort of stock with the suspension setup, and never once have I not felt stable and secure behind the wheel, even on wet roads, I'm kinda perplexed to see owners who have improved their cars suspension/rims,tires and drive them daily to get into such accidents

The coils were adjustable. It;s the dips and bumps that get you on the road. I hit a dip right where the highway meet the overpass.
TS ECU will be for sale along with a few other items after the insurance stuff is taken care of.

I'm like the others I was looking for something new to have been done to the car too. I'm glad you came out with just a few cuts and by the looks of the car it looks like the structure around the passenger compartment held up pretty good for flipping twice and landing upside down. Hope you have a speedy recovery and good luck with dealing with those insurance people they can be a PITA sometimes.
