Today at my house, JAY25 came over to help out his friend Yvette(hope I spelled it right)to put on the Sprint springs on her '99 Maxima. He cut off one coil off the rear of the Sprint's to make the car sit more evenly overall. Check it out. Maximapower was also here to put on the Stillen front lip. You can sort of see his car in the third pic, the one with the Racing Hart M5 wheels. Yvette also had the Stillen front lip put on today. 3 mods in one day as Jaime said: Sprint springs, cut rear springs, and front lip. Sadly, this was as close of a Maxima meet we would have here in New Orleans. Just four cars...lol!


Here's a shot of how her car look with the stock suspension:

Here's another shot of the stock suspension with Jaime illustration the big gap:

And finally, here's the final product. Yvette in her car with the new Sprint's and also Jaime's 18s. He sold the 18s to her. I forgot the name of the wheels.

Any pics of Yvette?

 

what a difference, they look great though.

 

looks good


what rims you getting jay ?

 

the third pic show Yvette in her car, only pic I got of her. Btw, she's pretty cute, definitely. She has a bf already though.

 

Well Michael didnt get a pic but maybe next time. Also we had 4 Maximas in the drive way with people just driving by just staring what da hell is going on in that drive way. And that everyone is Sprints with stock suspension.

 

 

That's only 1 coil off? Looks like that's all I'll need to sit even then...

looks good with the rear cut

 

Btw, I have Sprint's too and have the rear cut off two coils. I don't know why maybe because of the Koni's. Yvette has the stock struts and one coil seem good enough for her car. Anyway, with the pics you get a good idea how cutting off one coil look. I would take pics of my car, but I got the ugly stockers on.

 

Oh, nice...

The drop is good too.

 

Oh no! You cut a coil off the spring! You're gonna die!!

 

I notice the maxima beside her in the pic... the back windows are rolled all the way down ??? is it me...if not how did he do that....

 

Yeah, there's lots of Max's in that pic., 4 gens. windows must roll all the way down because there is now way to change that.

 

Dang, that drop with sprints is sooooo nice! How come my car with eibachs/tockicos still looks like a 4x4???

 

how does one go about cutting coils off evenly? and secondly what is that females handle on maxima.org

 

u forgot to mention the big 18s

 

no my back window does not roll all the way down

 

I have the same drop w/1 cut in the rear...

She looks like a cutie...

 

how do you change that?

btw vette or something 's maxima is a sterling mist GLE right??? I don't think I've seen another sterling mist GLE here except mine.

 

What rims are those? They look like Jay25's rims. Nice.

 

They are...

 

the drop is awesome, but how's the front lip? any scraping? thats my main concern with getting a body kit, i'm lowered with B+G right now

 

Thank you very much.

 

I think it's actually Pebble Beige. I think the camera angle plus the sun kind of make it look a bit different. It is a GLE though.

 

thats a Neptune Blue max in the background of pic 3?

 

man, everyone is a savage. Don't bring your girls too meets people!

 

The rear sprints have three coils that are spaced closer then the other side, I guide myself by the top coil and cut the coil below, thats one complete coil and evenly cut, thats why I said in another post to use a dremel or a craftsman rotatary tool. I think she only posted one time so if you happen to see a lurker dont offend her, she does have a girly name that I can know for a fact.

 

Thanks Jay, your always helpful

 

arnaud i know a guy at meinekie here who can torch a coil off for like 10-20$. he cut all 4 of my stock springs for me, but i dont have the top mounts for the koni struts so i cant even use them.. oops. oh well.

her car looks good.

 

lakeshore blue
