Ordered some new suspension parts for the maxima!

I just ordered some Eibach springs, KYB GR2 struts, and shocks.
I also ordered some drilled/slotted front and rear rotors and some Hawk HPS brake pads.

Hopefully the car is a whole different animal when I install everything on the car!

I will definitely look better...

Add the FSTB and sway bars and really feel a difference.

and endlinks. If your not a DIY guy and your gonna pay someone to do it its good to finish it in one shot. It took me almost a year to get everything together and at the end I put springs, struts+shocks, ftsb, rsb, f+r endlinks and one more thing I cant seem to remember, the best part is I really felt the difference and if you do it in one shot you don't need to keep opening things up

Just did springs this weekend. Not to bad if you have a strut compressor, and all the other things all you need is commen hand tools so that is easy also. You could do all this stuff in the drive way. Why go pay someone $400 buck to put all this stuff in..? just my 2 cents on it.

Nice Rotors! What brand are you guys getting? I know theres a million and one brand out there but whats a good one? I have eibach and to be honest the car almost feel like stock, my wife and a buddy of mine couldnt tell the difference in the ride until I pointed it out. Only conplain is that I wish the front was a little lower
