Just out of curiosity, are there any hydraulics maxima, and where can you get the set

I was looking at some music videos and i see all these low riders, i was wondering, if someone was bored and wanted to add hydraulics to a maxima, what do they have to do and get? How much is the parts and labor wise,? the difference in ride quailty? , and what are some things to do to make the maxima hydraulic ready.?

if you set it up right you can make a maxima bounce with bags. if it can be done with a full-size chevy short bed regular cab pick up i am sure it can be done with the maxima.

just go pick up the newest edition of Tailgate magazine and check out the cover article.

Lowriders with external frames are fine to hop, but when you try to hop a unibody car, you'll find that your doors will cave in, your frame will be bent, and whole lots of other fun stuff.

Then you just get some Warpspeed Stage 3 Subframe Connectors and that'll make your chassis as hard as a rock.

I think it'll take more than that. Maybe some I beams down the center and across.

I heard it from a civic owner, after hopping his car, his doors wouldn't close anymore. Sounds pretty gross to me.
