I recently took delivery on my new 2014 Maxima S and could not be happier. I wasn't really looking for any options because I have some plans for what I want to do anyway. I've been poking around for basic info and haven't had a ton of luck so I'm hoping some of you may be able to direct me to some places or vendors.

1. For those with coilovers, what brands are you running? I had a set of D2s on my Sonata Turbo and I'll just say I wasn't very impressed with them. I adjusted them more than 5 different times between height and dampening and just could not get it dialed in how I wanted. I want to lower it a bit more than springs offer but also keep a comfortable ride (for wife and little girl). If money were no object, what do you think? (Tien, Stance, K-Sport, BC, other?)

2. For those lowered, what kind of offsets are you using on 20" rims to get the most flush with the fender well (without rolling, pulling, etc)? With a 20x9 or 20x8.5 it appears that a 35mm offset is the best bet, but I'm curious to see who is running what? Also, I will be looking to stay with a square setup...no staggering for me. (I did look through the wheel thread but I don't see too many people posting offsets/specs for the rims they have on their cars).

Once the weather starts getting better I'm going to start making the changes I want. Thanks in advance to everyone that can help.

 

Congrats on the new whip

 

Congratulations on the ride! This is a very good question, I've seen many people post pics of their rides on here and the size wheels they're running, but no one really posts' offsets. It would be useful info, especially on the staggered setups!

 

Congrats brother!

As far as lowering goes I have not only heard great things on here about Eibach but I had a set on my Mustang years ago and loved them too! I may be looking at getting them soon for the Maxi myself!

 

Welcome and enjoy the forum!

 

Congratulations and welcome!

 

I'll bump this up for you cuz it's a good question, unfortunately I can't answer it for you. I'm on the eibachs lowering springs and love them. If you want to maintain the comfort, I'd consider them. Lots of guys here have went from eibachs to coilovers trying to go a little lower, and all of them have admitted to sacrificing ride comfort to do so.
If you're planning on running 20's and getting the right offset to be flush, I bet you'd really like the outcome you can get with eibachs. Join the Facebook group and check out a dude named Caleb Franklin medley (I think is his name). Car looks incredible on 20's and eibachs. Also in the fb group you'll get quick answers to the best offsets.

Good luck. And welcome.

 

Much appreciated!!

 

I just removed my BC Racing coilovers, if you were interested. Had to raise the car and lose the wheels when moving to IL from KS due to the crappy roads. Located in Plainfield IL, a suburb west of Chicago.

 

Thank you...just sent you a pm with my email info
