Just installed sprint w/ Tok's and the rear seems higher than the eibachs.Please tell me I didn't waste my money!!!!
Do they sttle?
thanks

 

from what I have heard/seen, that is just the way they are -- back a good amount higher than the front.

 

Mine have settled about .5" in the month that I've had them on.

 

to hear that

 

for the best ride height you should get sprint front springs and h&r rear springs

 

ryan is right...

when i had my h&rs i was much lower in the back.

the sprints dont lower that back a good amount at all.

oh well..the front looks cool

 

If all you want is a low ride, then Sprint/H&R will do it. But, I think that would give you some freaky handling. The sets are designed to be used as sets. The stiff sprints in the front with the softer H&Rs in the back would give you absolutely horrible understeer at the limit. Something to think about.

 

his side mirrors were a good 1/2'' lower than mine but my rear door handles were 1/2'' lower than his... isnt that crazy

 

you ALL know that the fender cut on the 4th gen is LOWER than the front fender. hence the "the *** is sticking up in the air" look.

so.. yeah. it might "look" higher than the eibachs, but the overall drop compared with the front and rear is lower than the eibachs.

Good point cheston. I used to have a full 4" between the tire and the fender now I have 2" in the back and little less than that in the front.

 

Well, at least we won't have a rear end sag problem.....If you have koni's I think there are 2 settings for the rear....so that could possibly offest the higher rear??? I need some damn rear Koni's so I can install my suspension!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I hate the rear... and it does LOOK jacked up.... i dont care wether it really is or not.... BUT IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP!!!

 

seem to be doin the job for me

 

I go to UCSD as well (and so does Thurznite).
Is your Maxima modded (I've seen a few modded Max's on campus).

 

For those of that don't like it, what kinda shocks do you have?

 

I know Steve's got the OEM shocks, and I'm runnin Toks...

 

OEM with Sprints? is he using a Camber Kit too? those OEM are going to die in no time.. they are no suppose to be handling a 2 inch drop.. but I could be wrong.. holy s... OEM with sprints...

 

i blew out my stock struts with my h&rs.

i have konis now though..i kinda want to leave the *** of my car the way it is(*** in the air)cuz if it was an inch lower i'd rubb like a **** just leaving my driveway.

so i know the back is lower...

 

I think OEM w/ Sprints is a half - *** job. From the pic I've seen of sprint and Koni (cheston and Nabil's ) car. I don't think it's noticeable. Mabye slightly. But I def. don't want any sag in the rear. I think that looks horrible.

 

My car rides fine.. shocks havent blown yet... so whats the point in buying toks at this point.. i dont see one.. maybe in 10k miles or so. And what diference would it make if i had a camber kit with konis, stock, or toks... absolutley none, the camber wouldd be the same with all three

 

no no .. both of my comments were different.. i just wantd to know if you were also using a camber kit or not.. nothing to do with blowing the shocks comment

 

Yeah I'm at UCSD. I'm the white 4th gen with front spoiler.

In regards to all your replies thanks for all the info, and
I'm going to see if the rears settle. If the don't (I've measured before the install) then I'm going to think about
throwing on the eibach rears as a solution. No cutting springs here.
Thanks

 

add some weight to the back. I added a big system so no complaints here! And i better not hear you guys complain about gas mileage.
