New to me 09 Maxima SV

Got a new to me 09 Maxima SV with factory 19s. Want to close the gap but don’t want to spend a lot of money.

Anybody use Godspeed springs?
anybody use KYB struts and shocks?

what would y’all recommend?

thanks for the input!

....."Want to close the gap"..........

I don't know what this means....can you please explain as I'd like to understand.


......anybody use KYB struts and shocks?.......

KYB makes shocks for the rear, but not struts for the front. So you have the sport model, or just the 19" wheels/tires?

Sport model

It’s an 09 SV with sport package. 95k miles limited service history.

I just ordered the Godspeed lowering spring 1.3 drop. Perfect for my daily commute and getting my kids to daycare.

trying to figure out which struts and shocks to go with.

Any advice?

Also what else should i think about replacing since the suspension will be apart. Is the adjustable camber links a good addition to square up the alignment?

A must for the rear if lowering. The car might align on the rack but will go out of alignment under load. Install these if lowering.

Looks an awful lot like mine. Not Lowered either. Not a fan.

I have the eibach pro kit coming in the mail atm, it’s not a big drop will I need to do anything for the camber also or should I be fine with just the springs? Thanks
