When replacing suspension??
I'm going to be gettin the adjustable shocks soon with some tein springs and some sway bars..maybe in about a month just gotta do tires first...
My question is when replacing suspension what should I replace (like what wears out over time) for better parts..
Plans are suspension , wheels , interior, then body
Car is a 97 maxima..it's green but I don't know the name of the green...

97, you say?
Illumina shocks/struts with which tein springs? S-tech or H-tech?
And if you're going to do wheels soon, don't do tires now. At least not great ones, unless you want to keep whatever set you currently have as a spare or winter set.
regarding what to replace... it depends on their condition. Where do you live? Is there lots of salt on the roads during winter? If so, then you may need to do more than some others. But likely you should do all new control arm bushings (Energy Suspension brand) http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...?prod=7%2E3111

When I do get wheels I wanna go wide in the rear ...looking at some 18"'s
But I can't find any threads or pictures of 4th gens with the size wheels I'm lookin at for comparison..I'm thinking 18x10 rear and 18x8.5 or x9 up front. Color bronze..trying to do something different with my car!

When doing springs and struts you should do front strut mounts (Moog) and all 4 dustboots (OEM). These are imperative.
Anything more is extra. I usually go to end links and sway bar bushings afterwards. Control arm bushings and ball joints can be done next, but it's all a matter of what the condition of them are.
PM me. You're local. I'll guide you through the process - recommend parts, and I can do the install for you.
