So where are those pics? Also, does anyone have any problems with 20's with the Eibach springs? Any rubbing?

 

Anyone think that there is going to be an issue with the struts at some point or will they hold up?

 

I forget which post, but I asked the same question before I bought mine. Someone (I wana say 6th gen?) said that they had the springs on the life of the car and never had a problem with the stock struts. I'm hoping the 7th gen will be the same way.

 

Sorry for the delay, I'll take some pictures this weekend after the Max gets a bath.

Incidentally, anyone need a set of stock 2009 18" Maxima wheels w/tires and TPMS installed? Less than 2,000 miles on 'em!!

Cheers.

 

Looks like everyone's been pleased with these springs. Can't wait until mine arrive. I got them for a decent price; $244 shipped. I'll do the install myself since it seems pretty straight forward.

 

Where did you get yours from?

 

I got them from LPI Racing. Look's like they were actually $244.95 shipped . Here's the link.

 

Awsome thank you for that link.

 

I finally had my Eibach springs installed yesterday. It ended up costing $215 for the install and took about 3 hours. I have the premium SV and the ride quality is way better now. The cornering and handeling is awesome. Here are some finished photos of the car after the springs were installed:

 

I just installed Eibachs on my SV premium this weekend. The ride is nice and smooth around town and firms up when pushed in the corners. The drop also gives the car a more aggressive look. So far I'm pleased with them.

I used an install guide that I found on an Altima forum. Surprisingly the suspension setups are nearly identical right down to the bolt sizes so it worked perfectly. The only difference is you don't need to trim the bump stops for the Max. The rear springs were a breeze to install. Getting the front springs to compress at the right angle to get them on the struts was a PITA! I finally just pulled both strut assembles, headed down to a local suspension shop and paid a guy $20 to install both front springs. Then I just reinstalled the strut assembles.

Stock front spring vs Eibach


Stock rear spring vs Eibach


Just snapped a few quick pics of the finished product

 

nice drop you got there. i see you have the E&G front and lower grille. looks sick

 

Lets see the front of your car, What type of grill do you have?

 

Thanks for the pics! I am still on the fence about purchasing a set......the saga continues!!!

 

It's the E&G Classics "Q" Style Grill. Not the best pic but here's one I snapped with my blackberry after I installed it. Sorry to thread jack...

 

So Glenn after over 6 months tell us what you think about the springs? Have they settled any lower and how is the handling and speed bumps, etc? I'm about to have a set installed.

Hope all is well,

Mike

 

Both very clean... and well done... NICE !!!

 

Looks great! I think I will get it done as well.

 

very sexy,this is my fave on here keep up the good work

 

dayum my max looks nyce... hehhehhee

 

madstylez yo man. so was that install pretty easy. i have the eibach sitting in my garage and im still debating if i should just do the install myself. from your post it seems pretty simple well except for the front suspension. so is the front suspension that much of a pain in the a**? if it is i'll just do what you did and take the front struts along with the front springs to a shop to do it for me. i just wanna fork up all that cash to have a shop do the entire install.

 

cars are lookingg good

 

anyoneee in here in brooklyn im on x and ocean parkway?

 

I put Eibach Springs on went from 4 finger from frame to wheel measurement to a 2.25 finger. Perfect drop looks great respond great as well.

 

if you just put them on... it probably has not even settled in yet.. so wait for the drop to increase a bit more!!

 

has anyone dropped these on 22s yet id like to know if there was any tire rub in the back.

 

How much are you guys being charged to install these? Also does anyone know what this Million Mile Warranty consists of? I have been unable to find exactly what it is... Thanx

 

well my man said he do it for 150 for me so hopefully next month i will have them on

 

Looks great hope to get a set on my Max soon.

 

hey do u mind me asking where in ny ur getting them done?

 

Brooklyn on Utica ave
i know him for a long time so he charging me that

 

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but maybe you guys can help.

After you installed the springs were there any problems getting the camber back to stock specs? I wouldn't think so with 1.4" drop but I'm pretty much a noob with this car.


This product "Eibach Recommend Align Kit" is what brought this question up for me.

I really appreciate some help I wrenched and raced my evo for 5 years... now I'm a little older and wanted something nice... I know very little about the Maxima but am learning

 

I got mine aligned without any kit and they got it "in the green" with no issues.

 

^this is what i wanted to know also.^. so no kit needed?

 

Is it just me or does the front look lower...Has your ride settled more since these photos.

 

Has the drop settled any since the pics...It seems the rear is a little higher. Show us some pics please!!! I'm looking to get the same springs!

 

These Eibach kits make a world of difference! I want to get em bad. How is the installation tho? I usually do most of my own work....but what am I looking at work wise?

 

How is the alignment and camber after the springs are installed? Are all the alignment specs adjustable on the Maxima. I remember on my G35 some of the alignment specs were not adjustable on the stock suspension.

 

nice!!!
