Hey guys,

So I've been loking at new springs for the Max (Eibach, Progress, Tein).

A few of my buddies have Nissans (Skylines, 240SX's and a 300ZX) and they have told me to stick to Progress instead of Eibach or Tein.

Any recommendations ?

 

I had Eibach for 3 years+ with zero issues and it's a slightly lower drop. 2" F/ .08" R

Progress is good also but in no way is it better than an Eibach. They are close to equal in performance with EiBach IMO being slightly better.

 

did you have to do any mods to the suspension or were the springs direct replacements - I read that some of the guys running with the Eibachs had clanking issues...

 

Progress.

 

Most were due to bad installs where the spring was turned the wrong way or driving on sh*ty roads and blowing there struts (which can happen with Progress also). Bottom line Progress are not better than Eibach IMO (pretty equal with Eibach have a better overall world wide reputation) and no one can produce any data that disputes that!!!

PS, Progress are cheaper in price though...

 

ur friend has a skyline...

lmao j/k.

i have tein s-tech on my 08 and i love them havent had a problem with them yet and i love the drop on mine

 

on eibach here. I cant speak for progress, but the ride comfort of the

eibachs are great. From what i've read on these boards progress is a bit stiff and makes the max ride like a "go cart". I also read that progress is linear and the eibachs are progressive. I have zero issues with them. ZERO. Install is key with the spring plates. If you dont know what you are doing, do not attempt.

 

I wish i could comment but my damn progress springs are still on back order from tire trends in BC. let me know if you go progress springs and you find another dealer in canada. I woulld go to cattman, but duty will kill me.

 

i have order da eibach gonna get em next week they are takin forever its hard to get eibach but i heard dey are gud ya da price is more but u will be happy wht u paid for

 

Tien.

 

it's nothing special bro - 92 - he has been attempting to install the damn new turbos for the last 4 months - his cheap@ss plus laziness make for a bad combo...

im going to see him tomorrow - i'll snap a few pics and send them over to you if you like...

 

i hear you buddy - duty is a biatch for us here... i'll make sure to let you know if i go with progress and locate anyone else

 

oh nice ha has a r32 then. love that year of skyline its my favorite one made. and naw its cool i was just messing around about the pics. lol

u planning on installing the springs urself when u get them?

 

Read this thread: http://forums.maxima.org/6th-generat...s-vs-tein.html

 

nah - i'll get my car guy to get them installed (he is amazing - I bring the Corona and he does the work)

 

lmao sounds like a good car guy. lol

 

for sure bud - if you are ever around TO and need anything done for give me a shout

 

so have you decided on which springs?
I just cancelled my order for Progress springs with TireTrends as they said it is still on back order.

 

hey bro - leaning toward the Eibachs since like you I will get the Progress when hell freezes over (I got my car guy looking for a dist. that can get me a set, so we shall see how that turns out man) - worst case scenario, we can go with Cattman and save on the shipping and duties at least)

I love the Progress but not sure now...

what are you planning to do ?

BTW -> Thanks to all that helped out! Appreciate it (Corona @ my house to whoever can make it)

 

cool thanks man if im ever there ill give u a shout. lol. but while im in FL me and a friend do the work on my max for the same price ur car guy gives u. lol

mmmmmmmmmmm corona sounds pretty good right now. lol

 

well since i cancelled the springs...i decided that the money i saved will go towards the purchasing fog lights. i have an 04 but did the 07 bumper swap, so i figure might as well fill up those holes i got on my bumper!

but yeah maybe we can broker a deal from the states and we can split cost for shipping/duty for the springs and meet up
