I just lowered my maxima on eibach's and the install was a breeze and the drop isnt dramatic, but definately an improvement.

m45 19" offset is +50 yikes on a 6th gen, lol

well imo the front 20 looks great but the 25 rear is too much

my car is not lowered so maybe thats why it looks so stuck out

anyone have the same thoughts?

If you not lowered, you do not want to install spacers.

Spacers on a stock suspension will make it look more 4x4.

If anything try the 20mm on the rear and leave the front stock, or lower it.

I was thinking same thing I gotta lower it

Maybe it's the camber that will bring it more tucked in, front looks good tho

I agree ghost saw your vid car looked perfect lowered on 25 and 20

The look of the car is so much better with the spacers and being lowered. I'm thinking of how to spend some Christmas money over and above some brake work I need and I'm thinking spacers and the Eibach Pro-Kit. Looking at the work some of you have done it seems like a no-brainer. But, my brain conjures a couple of questions:

1. Are you getting noticeable road splatter on your front and rear panels and if so are you thinking of doing something about it--like the Stillen rocker panels and something to intercept it in the rear.

2. Has anyone put spacers with a wider tire on the car. I'm thinking 255s and I tend to think this car would look really good with a taller/wider rear tire--approaching a look like the RSR Jaguar Lemans car. I don't see myself going there though.

Did you guys keep the OEM bolts with the V2 spacers? I've read on other forums that they switch out to ARP studs.

Also, do we have space in our cars to use the V1 spacers? I'm just curious. I'm not planning to lower the car so I'm thinking that a less aggressive spacing would not make my car look 4x4.

Spacers are fine provided you use a quality product which is installed correctly. I race with the SCCA and can tell you there are many many race cars running spacers. If race cars can run endurance races on spacers, I'm sure its just fine for street use.
