And with that extension moving the wheels further from the hub what do you get?
Is it a cosmetic thing? Or do you need it help with clearance issues once you drop the maxima? When ordering the Eibach kit does it come with the spacers too, or is that an extra purchase?
Last question: My 2010 max is the SV-SPORT. Does being a "Sport" make a bigger difference when installing the Eibach kit? Thanks ahead of time for the responses...I'll be anxiously awaiting answers.

when ordering the eibach springs.. it does not come with wheel spacers that is a separate purchase....
spacers are normally used just for cosmetic reasons but are also used for wheel fitments issues... but if you are lowering on stock wheels and you apply the spacers you should not run into any issues.. ive also have the sport and im lowered n eibach and have wheel spacers all around... and im a daily driver... i luvem
i think with the sport suspension i think it helps... how much i dont know... .. you might not even notice a big difference as far as ride quality... with the addition of far less body roll and making sharper turns at high speeds.. but for me its a comfy ride ....
do it.. you wont regret it!!!

I have the Sport as well and went with the Eibach Pro Kit. Best thing I have done to the car. The stance is so much better looking and handles better with the the same ride quality as stock. IMO you can't go wrong.

Whoa, those spacers are more expensive than I thought. $270 to go all the way around huh?
Thanks for the great pics you posted showing your before and after "D-Street". You can definitely see the difference.

not necessary. after installing any springs its recommended that you get a wheel alignment after.. but to be honest it was atleast a yr after the installation of my springs that i got one!!!
