As promised fellas.
Before
After
Front Left Panel After. Original Measurement was 29.5"
Rear Left Panel After. Original Measurement was 29"
Springs and shocks hasn't settle yet. I'll wait a week and get the final measurements. First impression is that steering has vastly improved. It's more precise, tighter, less body roll. Yeah you gonna feel the bumps a little bit more, one of the negatives of dropping your car. One thing that surprised me is that I didn't think that I would get 1.75" of drop on the rear. I'm still rollin' on 18's.
Overall I'm lovin' this set up. Some may say that my car has an aggressive
stance, Tein's doen't get the same love as Progressive, Eibach, or H&R. But judging by the pic, the car is well balanced, and I truly believe that the KYB's has something to do with that balance.

The KYB's are a lot beefier than stock. I think it does a great job with the new Tein's or whatever springs you haveOriginally Posted by ILL-Maxima

need some bigger tires

Springs was $229 shipped. I'm in the North side of Houston. The shop that did the installation is called asaa racing. These guys know their shiite. They are a tuner shop so 90% of their business is nothing but mods. The shop is like a candy store for modders. I sat in the waiting room for over 2hrs. looking at all of cool stuff I could do for my carOriginally Posted by 6thGenSmoke
the car looks good. if you dont mind how much did you pay for the springs? what part of houston are you from?
Check em' out http://asaaracing.com/ Thanks for the positive response fellas. I try to do it tastefully and correct.

nice man, but it doesnt look as low compared to Progressive or Eibach springs. But like you said, it may need to settle a bit. Also, what size are your tires?
Looks great, will look even better once the springs settle in!!!

That drop looks great!!! How better does she handle? I did all my suspension mods at once- never got to see how springs solely effected it...
Gollum, looks good and the handling is well worth it, now you need to *** an FSTB & RSB to complete the package...
I am on K-Sports as well, and went a bit lower. I think I am at about 3 in the front and 2.5 in the back...if your gonna go low, go low!!!

Damn Holmes, couldn't you chop it down a little bit lower esse'?
That's a hot set up. The Ksports in the back is just teasing ya. No center caps on the rims?

If you do decide to get a FSTB and RSB I would also replace the front and rear endlinks and your ride will almost feel like it's on rails!!! Taz (Racingline) is having a group deal on the fronts and rears and you will LOVE the feel of your Max around corners and turns!!!Originally Posted by jsmithsole

LOL, no not a cent, but I do endorse products I have on my own Max which improved my handling. Not to mention Taz (Racingline) is great to work with...Originally Posted by chernmax

Clean look. Could you PM me the website and exact model number for the struts your purchased please?
I got a 2.0" front & .08" rear when I droped mine using Eibach springs only, however I am still on OE struts and want aftermarket struts and all I keep hearing about is the awesome reviews of the kyb gr2 (?). Hook me up brother.
