Nissan Maxima Eibach Springs Nose Dive Stance * FIXED *

There are some people with the Eibach Springs installed not happy with the way it looks including me. I been frustrated for the last 6 months driving around with a goofy stance. Parking and looking back at the car I wanted to throw up. Basically the rear suspension still looks factory while the front is significantly lower and looks terrible.(was installed twice by professionals (logo up) and pre loaded correctly) Eibach states 1.4 inch drop all around so I don't understand what is going on. But there is some hope for us with the Eibach Springs. I found increasing the PSI to 40 helps a ton. So just created this thread to spread awareness. Anyone with the Eibach Pro Springs experiencing the nose dive stance increase your tire pressure all around to 40. tune up or down from there. 40 is the sweet spot for me. It doesn't run any worst still smooth for me. Plus I have 3 huge speakers/amp in the back. Also carry work stuff around so I can use extra PSI for balance the extra weight. Everyone might be different but starting at 40PSI should help. It looks so much better now.

If anyone wants see how they look at 33PSI watch my initial first impressions video. Tire pressure is set at 33PSI in that specific video.

here's link


In this video you can clearly see the rear is noticeably much higher. In real life its bad and actually embarrassing. Other people have notice and say something so its just not me.

I get the appeal of the low to the ground look, but man it’s too hard getting in and out of steep driveways as it is. I wish it could be a bit higher, but it would probably look really goofy

I don’t want to join the SUV crowd, but I miss not worrying about scraping bottom all the time

Never been to Milwaukee 😀 ,just Florida. Perhaps the steep driveways are because it is so flat here... for rain runoff. Big PITA when driving sometimes though

Looks clean as is. If you decide to lower it, you won’t be disappointed. It rides so much better in my opinion. Plus it will look even better. Add a nice exhaust and it’s a perfect daily
