I love my Maxima again!
I've had what you may call a love/hate relationship with my 98 Maxima. I replaced the calipers and got an alignment, now I'm enjoying it the way I used to.
The car handles pretty well on Eibachs/AGX/FSTB/RSB. Especially for a 4-door sedan from the mid 90's!!
Acceleration has been greatly improved from stock with just bolt ons. The other day I took 4th gear past 7k on an carless stretch of highway. I never realized how good the pull is from 75+!
My basic cloth interior is comfortable. The stock seats support me pretty well through hard driving and everything i need is easily accessible.
Braking is above average as well. Ever since I put Hawk pads on with stock rotors it brakes effortlessly from 100-45mph.
This car is great if you know a little about cars. It's fairly easy to work on and parts are inexpensive. With just a couple bolt-ons you can embarass alot of cars that are "supposed" to be faster. And every year there are more and more options becoming available to someone who wants to modify their Maxima.

pros: majorly increased stopping power and sensitivity.
cons: i've been through two sets of pads in less than a year
