Brave souls! Not only slammed (properly slammed), but with a Lip and in NY? Brooklyn for that fact!! Best luck to them.

I would to see the bottom, of some peoples lips who are slammed.

 

That sucks man.

Ksport is good though, they get it resolved pretty quickly.

 

dude that sucks, just send it into ksport and they should take care of it nice and quick

 

Damn those things are slammed...maybe i want to go lower? hahah

Anyways, i'm having sort of a frustrating problem. No matter what i do, i can not get rid of the creaking and popping noises comming out of the front. It always comes back. I've got no preload, the springs is able to rotate on collar. What do i do to get rid of this annoying sound? If i need to use that lithium grease, where do i put it? Between shock and rubber isolator or between collar, maybe both?

 

those two slammed maximas wont last a damn minute. they better raise up their cars before the steering is gone.

btw are they chopped or r u for real? the offsets suggest so

 

DAAAMN that is freakin TUCKIN!!! looks like airbags!!!

 

Tagged!

 

one question for Jinsu-Can i give you a credit card payment for the GD on the K-Sports instead of paypal because i do not have a paypal account. Thanks

 

You might want to PM him about that, or post that question in the Ksport group deal thread.

 

ok thanks, i will

 

thank god!!! i spent 4hrs today trying to break my rear coilovers collar loose. after hrs of pounding and trying different things it came loose...soooo now i can drop my rear even lower. blah!

 

Nice work! DId you find out you were turning the wrong way?


... j/k

 

tell me about that BS man. the tools provided aint worth a damn penny. last time i jacked up my car to dump the back, teh damn collar wouldnt come loose so i gave up.

 

yea it was a bish to get it loose. But when it finally came loose there was alot of grim and crap where the collar was sitting. I didnt tighten it that much this time so if I need to adjust I hopefully wont run into the same problem. But it looks alot better with my rear finally dropped 3 inches. I just need to drop my front alil more....but it is well worth it when done. time for me to get some new wheels....

 

I thought you just got those? I like those....

 

i like them...but im not in love with them. I'm looking for a set of 5-spoke wheels. I like the Axis Hiro's, so we'll c.

 

Volk just came out with their new GT-S (new for 06)



Damn those are sexy!

 

damn...well after dropping my rear today my rear was rubbing like crazy...lol. i have 225/35/19's with a 20mm rear spacer. lol but anywho how do u guys roll your rear fender. i need to roll it so it can give the rear tires some clearance. (im about 3.5" dropped in the rear) thanks!

 

Well guys and gals, time to add me to the list of blown-out coileovers! My drivers side rear is covered in oil. My total accumulated mileage is around 5k since last summer. Not good! Looks like I'll be getting in touch with Jinsu!

 

That's too bad, i hope they get it figured out. But i've heard ksport costumer service is very good.

 

Dang, well what's the price if your warranty has run out?

 

We'll see! I'll get back to the thread with my results..... I'm also coming to the strong conclusion that these particular coilovers are not very good for winter driving. The action is way too stiff below freezing!!

 

There's a few of us 6th gens with coilovers as well, finally got mine all dialed in (except rear noise, fixing this weekend) Redlinemax bumper is a bit chewed up but, No more gaps!!!

 

I've always loved your max. Its been my favorite 6th gen. Very nice work man!

 

good gawd. those words sound EXACTLY like my ex girlfriend. i even heard her voice when i read that.

"you like me but you aren't in love with me"

 

Thank you very much!

 

The picture below shows me next to both rear coilovers. The coilover on the bottom is from the right side of my car. I've been having noises from that area. I noticed the dark color around the coilover. I did spray silicone lubricant around it, but I don't think it would stick like that. I'm thinking that it is blown. Does that look like a blown shock to you? I do not have any problems with the top coilover.

 

Could you give us some well-lit close-ups of the bottom one?

 

looks like its blowen...mine look like that. you can also see if your solid rear axle is wet and oily. And look on the inside of your wheel.

 

Thanks for the replies. I will take some pictures when I feel like taking the shyt off...

 

Would anyone say the eibach coilovers are better than the Ksport for the maximas? Some guy was telling me today that the eibach would probably be more reliable and have just as good of feel if not better than the Ksports. Does eibach even make coilovers for the 4 gen max?

 

He was probably meaning the spring. It is possible to swap out spring on the coilovers maybe from eibach if you get the right size. but no, eibach does not make a coilover setup for our cars.

 

oh ok, I think he was saying some thing like that, it was only the springs that they made. Have you ever had any problem with the k-sport springs?

 

I don't know of anyone who have had problems with the springs. Only maybe a strut blown. But a warranty covers that.

If he suggesting eibach, he was probably suggestion eibach for the softer spring rates. In that case, ksport offer's softer 7/5 springs rates as well. You just have to special order.

 

will a softer spring rate make it a smoother ride or something? Will it cost more to get the softer rate springs?

 

Eibach Pro System kits include springs and shocks -- really just their Pro-Kit springs with matched shocks/struts. Eibach Pro System Plus kits include springs, shocks, and sway bars. Those kits have an excellent reputation, so I'm thinking they're probably what your friend was talking about. But, no, neither is available for our cars.

The spring rate thing has been covered... lower rates for smoother ride and slightly worse handling (but still FAR better handling than stock), higher rates for the opposite. Default is 9 kg/mm front and 6 kg/mm rear (a.k.a. 9/6); you can take either one up or down by 2 at no additional cost. Beyond that, you'll have to pay a little extra because they have to re-valve the shocks to match the spring rates.

 

Black Max,
Mine looks the same or a little worse. I haven't sprayed anything on my coilovers since my install last July and it is covered in oil and there is even a few oil drops on the driveway where I park. I emailed Jinsu and he responed quickly with the address of K-sport to send back for rebuild. This is going to be a royal pain in the *** because the car will most likely be down for a couple weeks (my guess) for this process to get finished.

 

Wow, that sucks. I responded to your PM. I don't know what to do with mine right now. It's not really my top priority right now. Good luck!!

 

might aswell stick to the ksports then. Cool, thanks for the info guys...

 

just got my ksports, i can't wait to put them in. Hopefully these will be better than my GC's w/ Tokico blues....
