I wish I was that low. I hate maxspeed springs, I still feel like I am 4 wheel driving. I have 4 fingers in the back and 3 1/2 in the front with 18s

If the outside of your rim is rubbing on the metal fender, you should sell your car, because a maxima can't do the "tucked" look and still drive . However, if the TIRE is the part rubbing, as I suspect it is since you said your still running a gap, roll those fenders.

If you dont know how to roll your fenders take it to someone who will do it professionally. I believe they will heat up your car and quickly roll the fenders for the metal to give and not mess up your paint.


S14 I was pricing that ride you have and the cheapest they go for is about $8K. I want a rear wheel drive vehicle. And the 240 is the way to go.

it all depends on how much ur rubbing, if its just the inner lip, u car roll that little part by urself, but if u need to actually pull the fenders out a littlle, then go to the body shop

and jay, the S14a's (97-98) are really had to find, especially in 5 speed, they onnly made 5800 totl, not to mentiuon how many have been wrecked. i see them go for around 15k usually, now u can find 95's (25,000+ produced) everywhere but i think the headlights are ugly
