I'm puting lowering spring on 2004 maxima but don't know which one should I choose.

$240=Eibach spring
$200=Progress spring

 

There are plenty of threads on this topic. Progress have a better drop but many have said it has a rough ride while Eibachs have a nice stance as well but some experience knocking noises probably from improperly installing the springs. I personally went with Teins but wont install them until this weekend

 

They are both well known but from the reviews I've read, eibach is what I will go with.

 

i'm on progress and loving it.

 

Nyana, I was wondering when you were going to install them. I knew you'd like them on the smooth roads of Texas. The pics look good.

 

progress.

ride is firmer than stock, but not harsh by any means...

 

My car handles so nice on Progress that people who ride in it never say anything about harshness. unless you are the Princess and the pea, you aint gonna feel much difference with any lowering springs. Love my stance and have got many comments from other that were all positive. Good luck with your purchase.

Here is how she sits:

 

Wow that nice looking car!

 

Nice!

 

I'm gonna do this spring with Kyb gr2. So that why I need more feedback on spring.

 

i have that same exact combo...it rides great!

 

i went with progress with the stock struts. just got them installed and loving them.

been in ascendantmax's ride and it feels really good with the kyb's

 

I decided ill go with progress spring with Kyb gr2. Will do I need progress camber aligment kit n rear progress anti-body roll kit? I may be buying everything from progress site if there give me good deal on everything that made for our car.

 

yeah i had installed them awhile back, and loving it ever since. ride isn't as rough as i had imagined it to be. thanks once again Gary.

 

I havent heard of many ppl buyin the camber kit b/c it doesnt lower the car that much. I have the combo that ppl are talkin bout (progress w/ kyb)

 

You're welcome. I'm glad that the springs are being put to good use. I loved the way the Max handles with them but these Cleveland streets are brutal. Highway driving was great but the secondary roads sucked. Your white Max looks great.

 

Im sorry to thread-jack but my account got screwed up somehow and it shows I only have a couple of posts so I cant make a for sale thread.

If anyone is interested Im selling some Eibach's and KYB GR-2's for the front.Email me if interested. Again sorry for the intrusion!!

nismoman@ymail.com

 

thanks! did you get the front springs installed yet?

yeah i love how the car feels now. i must admit though that the ride can be a bit harsh on bad roads. but on freeway and general driving around town, the car feels great.

 

I talked to bc racing coilover tech n they tld me they can give me custom spring rate. What spring rate should I get for 04 maxima SL?

This what I got back from email:

yup got them done on friday. how much lower does it get after the springs start settling in?

 

Before:


After:

 

$1050?? Thats a lot of money for springs. You can buy coilovers that are adjustable to give you a custom spring rate.

 

i dont know people. i really cant rate the progress spring right now because i think i need struts and shocks but when i put the 22's on i rubbed everywhere now that im stock with the progress springs it feels worse than when i had the 22's on. right now they suck if the gr2's still make the car ride the same im gonna go with teins so i dont rub and for a better comfort

 

That the price they gave me for coilover kit. I wanna know what spring rate should i get for front/rear so i can tell them before they send it to me.

 

maybe a couple of cm or so, nothing too drastic.

 

I just got Progress springs installed with the KYB GR2's all around - definitely a noticeably firmer ride, but not too harsh. Here in CO there are alot of crappy roads, so prob a little different that other states. I will say IMO the ride height is just perfect - no more monster front gap and tightened up the rear just right...

ok i added the kyb gr2's to the progress springs and its a very great ride.

 

If I'm drving my car everyday 100 mile per day then should I get coilover kit or Kyb with progress spring?

 

+1 PROGRESS!!!

 

i wanna drop my car also, does any one have tein springs with Monroe shocks and struts or should i just go with the kyb.
i live in Brooklyn,NY and here there's more spot hole then smooth streets,whats you guy recommend for me to get,whats a good combination for a drop but smooth ride

 

I ordered eibachs and kybs then changed my mind and read the forums to try and find the smoothest drop. I went with teins and monroes, and its still a little harsh at times. I think my wheels are not correctly balanced cause it feels wobbly at slow speeds and has vibration at higher speeds. If balancing doesn't work im gonna have my alignment checked again.Then I don't know if I should try and return the monroes (they have 90-day satisfaction guarantee) and ride on my OEM shocks/struts they have 70k on them so i don't know how long they will last. I just need them to last for about 2 years or 30k miles. I like the drop otherwise, cornering is smooth and flat, and have no problems with big speed bumps, and like the less wheel gap.

 

Sitting on eibachs and got no conplaints

 

Keep it stock for better

 

The only person who said stay stock. I gots progress springs with monroe shocks & struts and I'm Very happy. I don't know why it took me this long to drop my car.

 

ill go with Eibanch spring

 

I got Eibach and KYB, rides great, takes few weeks for the entire suspension to settle but once it does, it looks great and rides superb.

 

I would go with the Eibach springs but probably better with stock rims progess would be good they drop a little more lower than the Eibach
