Did someone go out and buy a mavica since Maxus?:)

Yes the front is definitely higher than the back...but you should have someone your weight sit in the drivers seat too to get the full effect so you'll know how low it is when your driving But I guess with you're weight it should lower too much more

Which mavica did you get?

Got the FD-93, I don't know if me sitting in the car is gonna make a difference b/c I don't weigh much. but to prove that I'll give it a shot later on today.

That Mavica is Sweetttt

Please people keep in mind shocks and struts do not hold up a car. There is no way they can they are designed to just keep the tire in contact with the road... Here is a good test go to a shop and ask to take a look at a new strut performance or not you will see that you can compress them by hand which I am sure is way less that 3000+ pounds of pressure... What holds the car up then... the springs do...

Now I see what you are talking about the wheel gaps. My Intrax is the same. It looks lower at the rear. I think the front will lower itself alittle more over time. By looking at the side pictures, you can see the car is level. It looks good, so don't worry about it.

Here's a picture for comparison.

Pioneer, my 98 SE was lower in the back with H&R too. I also had intrax before that, hated them, but they were even lower!

Here are some pics of my 98....

Guys, look at the bottom of your cars. They look pretty even. I think the reason it looks like the rear is lower than the front is the front fender goes higher than the rear. It's a Maxima optical illusion!

You should have cut your bumpstops, this would have made the car lower. All honda owners do this when they lower a vehicle. Your SUPPOSED to do this when you lower the car.
