THANKS MAN!!!! REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!! MAN I LOVE MAXIMA.ORG!!!!

 

actually the guy that responded to you is wrong.

if you are looking for the "lowering springs" not the "coilovers" than no you cannot change the height. they are just lowering springs, and you would need spring compressors to change them out,

also youwould need to buy some new struts because the stock struts will not be able to handle that kind of drop.

for the installation, if you are going to get the full coilover set up the installation is very simple, take out the entire suspension assemply, and pop in the coilover easy as that.

also people, i am getting sick and tired of reading "i am too lazy to read 27 pages" or "i am too busy" I am getting sick and tired of seeing the same questions over and over again in this thread, take some time read the thread, you will learn a ton of information. The whole reason for this thread is so that we could have all the info on these coilovers in one place. not to keep asking the same questions over and over again. /rant

 

Zero preload
Half-turn from full soft, or full stiff

That info is repeated several times in the thread...

I guess I need to add a link to it in the first post.

 

Thank-you.

 

Yah...man, You should add a link on the first pages on Ksports settings and crap, !!!!

 

thanks man. yea thats what i thought. i just here is once and awhile. The ride is great! i sometimes forget im on coilovers...im going to pull off the wheels tomorrow and make sure everything is nice and tight.

 

one more question, on the front struts, does it matter what which struts goes on which side? Because the camber plates are different from each other, right?

 

Yes, it does matter. It is very noticeable. The two camber slots on each side should be running from the right to left. Not front to back. The inside strut bolt is off center a tad. Look out for that on the KSport.

 

MAKE SURE the camber plates are facing each other. You want them horizontal, not vertical (side way, not up & down) The pionts facing the engine.

 

as long as the camber plates face horizontal than you should be good. they can only go in one way if you have the camber bolts horizontal. as in when you move them they should go left and right, not up and down.

 

Mr. coilover expert over here

 

Yeah you should add some links like how to install link, where to buy link, ect...ect... if it's possible......

 

haha i learn from the best

 

thanks everybody

 

in your pic, is your car lowered all the way???

 

Wow that must of been an old post by enomik-1.

As he probably won't be in here to answer your question, i will. He is probably lowered about the same height as me which is not even close to being all the way.

 

Measured today. Exactly 24.75" in front and 25" in back...

I like this picture, but it's kind of dark:

 

hey guys here some new pics of my car dropped on ksports and Enkei OR52's

 

Lookin' good, Duck! Did you take those pics today?

 

why yes i did right after work

 

this sucks azz....i tried and tried to loosen my rear coilovers bottom collar but that damn thing wont budge. I even tried to tap it with a mallet and a screw driver, but it doesnt come loose. i guess im gonna take it to a import tuner shop that specializes in all this stuff and see if they have any bright ideas.

 

Drop looks great Mr. Duck, just right. I'm not digging the mudflaps, though, mudflaps should always be body color IMO.

 

hey lex, were you able to move the bottom collor b4 you installed?

thanks for the compliment vquick, hopefully we can get a huge meet going again this year

 

yea man i tried, but it wouldnt budge. im just gonna take it to one of the import tuner shops, my friend said they will know what to do. worse comes to worse ill have to send it to ksport to get it fixed or replaced.

 

so you installed them, even when they werent able to move, how did you adjust height than?

 

I just install my coilovers, i dun here ani major 1 click or clunk sound, but when i cruise above 40 mph, i start to here a countinuously clunk on the right side. am not sure what it is, can some one point out the problem so i can go fix it.

Another question is that, do you guys adjust yur height by taking out the whole coilover or yu guys just jack it up and adjust it with the two top perches, but is it that like preloading? My rear is too low, its cover almost my tires. Thanks for help guys, cuz i i dun kno anithing about coilovers, got it for a present.

 

Check to see if the dust shields behind your brake rotors have been bent such that they are making contact with the rotors. Also check to see if your brake pads are loose and able to slide around even slightly.

The best way to adjust height is to unbolt the coilovers and adjust the bottom collars. If you raise the car by adjusting the upper collars, you will be adding preload.

 

thanks a lot d00d, i love the ksports, fun to drive with and it give me less body roll.

 

nope wouldnt budge. i guess im going to send them to ksport if this tuner shop cant loosen them.

 

Have you tried Liquid Wrench or something?

 

How Do these ride? Stiff?

 

Great for the highway, bad for rough roads.

 

Can some one explain what Jinsu is trying to say, am understand mostly everything in this threat now, after i got my coilovers install, but this, i do not get! What a nub am i.

 

The noise issue is resolved by lubing the springs (and their perches) and the lock nut, and loosening and retightenting the top strut valve nut.

What's so hard about that?

 

Okay, so I got a little tired of guys complaining about dropping the car and ruining your front lip. Also a little tired of people just getting rid of wheel gap and calling their max's "Slammed". Fellas, these are two guys in BROOKLYN, NYC. You have to learn how to drive with a drop. Period. Are they the lowest Ksported out Max's?



Note: Guy in the orange shirt is not the owener of this car.

And you've seen this one before:

 

I tried to get my foot under his front lip, didn't quite make it....

 

2nd car looks hawt as hell. That's mine when I get my cf hood. Love that dropped look man.
What's his name?

 

Studio718 on NYCMAXIMAS.org, I believe he posts on here too.

 

dam, that white max is dropped. im low and i can go alittle bit lower, but i need my c.f. lip.

 

well here is the verdict on my coilovers. I #1 had a problem like all others with the clicking sounds. well i fixed that today. #2 my driver side rear coilovers collar was stuck so i couldnt adjust the height on the rear. And today i realized another damn problem, the right rear coilover is drenched in oil, so looks like i have a busted rear coilover. I believe its time for the rears to go in and get fixed. sux major azz.
