Have you paid? I paid 3/20 so hopefully I get my tracking # some time today. We'll see.

 

E-mail him. I did and he sent it within the hour with my tracking #!

 

Yours getting there soon? I was #26 so hopefully mine will be here sometime soon. I just got my struts last night.

THIS SUCKS REALLY BAD.
They charged my credit card about 5 weeks ago, since then I have sent several emails to them, NO RESPONSE.
I just sent them another one 2 days ago, after they said they shipped it out and will be emailing the tracking number to everyone (I didn't get one)
someone help

 

If it helps any I sent him an E-mail today and he said he would respond back with a trackign number for me today. So try him again. He doesnt seem to be ignoring us, maybe you just got overlooked. Try E-mailing him just to double check.

According to UPS they should be here by Monday.

 

Man, I have a really bad feeling.
I still haven't receive reply from them yet.
I think they might have left me out of this groupdeal, although they already charged my credit card.....still waitinig for tracking #
sigh

 

sent email today, waiting for reply...

 

Received my springs on 4/9/02 in CA. Never received an email
with the tracking # though -- as was stated by the seller.

 

At least you got 'em right....guy's lets hold out a lil more, for thoes of us on the east coast, should get them by tuesday. Lets not make assumptions yet wait till everyone around you has got them yet. I followed the last group deal closely, and this same sorta thing happened, yet everyone recieved them. please lets hold out a lil longer and not give this guy a bad name, in the past he has been good to the max community!

 

I emailed him last night and he responded this morning with my tracking #. It should arrive tomorrow.

 

i got my tracking number this morn, should be gettin them tomorrow.

 

i got my 1st set 2 days ago.. another one due later, cuz he missed it and theyre currently outta stock..

 

I just got my today(4/11) at about 2:31....Man...I cant wait. My car still in the shop and should be ready this Saturday.

 

I just got mine today (Fri) via phone order last friday. The original quote was $120. I asked if he was gonna make me wait 'til the next max.org GD and he gave them to me for $90 + $25 for UPS ground.

FYI

 

I just got mine. He didn't respond to my email, but I don't really care because they're here. I haven't bought shocks/struts yet though and I'm still a little worried about too harsh a ride on these Michigan roads.

 

Springs arrived today! Install will br Monday. Thanks Wizza.

 

I received mine yesterday. I didn't get an email from him either, but they're here so thats all I care about. Great springs for the money. I'm in Houston BTW.

When installing springs, what are the torque specs for bolts involved in the installation?

bp

 

Mine arrived Friday, and installed them saturday (with Tokico's) before the Lexington, KY meet. I have installed drop springs on many, many cars before, the whole process took me about 2 hours and 10 minutes with a lift and air tools. It wasn't too difficult, i'm sure someone has a write up on how to do it. Make sure you use a spring compressor to do this, cause you will need the spring compressor to put on the new springs. I have NO spring noise and i did not use that wire wrap stuff

 

Man... I hope mine actually get here soon.

SuDZ

 

Got 'em today, can't wait to put 'em on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I did it this Saturday as well. Not hard at all...if you have the right tools and a buddy. You will need a torque wrench, breaker bar, complete socket set, extensions, universal joint, and spring compressors.

I also did not use the Home Depot wrap, I re-used the wrap that was on the stock springs...no squeaks.

I attached some pictures...right now I have about a 1.25" drop in the front and .75" in the rear. I will measure this Saturday after it has had the week to settle (to see the final drop numbers). It is nice though because the back is a little higher than the front...no load in the trunk syndrome!!

How is the ride?

SuDZ

 

I put mine in Saturday with a friend. Took us 6 hours due to problems with a lug nut, striping a bolt, not knowing what we were doing, and killing a 12-pack during this whole operation. I forgot to put those plastic things on the front springs. The drop looks good. Not to sure about the ride though yet. The ride is a lot stiffer and it tends to be bouncy, and I already bottomed out once. The good part is, it takes turn like my moms BMW. I think the new feel will grow on me. I am using stock shocks and struts. I will take pics after I put my FSTB on Wednesday.

 

It is definitely stiffer. On bad roads you can tell they are there. Not too bad though...I think some KYB's or Tokicos would help. I am on stock struts on a 2600 mile old '02 SE. I do not get any of the bouncing nor have I bottomed out. Handling is awesome!

Overall, it was stiffer than I thought it would be, but in the tolerable range for sure.

Brian

 

Cool, so it really is not that bad. Like you said my KYB setup will help out too.

Thanks for the info

Still nothing yet over here in SC so dont feel bad SUDZ.

I get to read about you guys with your springs already on while I wait here.. No biggie though, still gotta get struts. Gonna do them both.

It seems like everything these days come from Cali and then moves to the east coast. First the major import movement, then Maxima ethusiasm, now these...

What's that Home Depot Wrap I read about?
My stock boots look like they need replacing so what is that stuff?What department would that be in?

 

If you do not want to or choose not to reuse the stock spring isolators, then go to Radio Shack and get the half-inch spiral cut wire loom. It can be cut from the original 4 feet down to appropriate lengths for the four spring bottoms. You do not need them on the top as much. Best of luck to you all...I still love my MaxSpeeds.

 

Mine also has a slight 'rake' to the front, i like it alot.

Glad to hear you got them in! the bouncy-ness can be blamed on blown stock shocks, how many miles do you have on them brendan? but yes cornering is 100% improved! I noticed at higher speeds like on the interstate ithe ride is soft, almost stock like, but at slower speeds you can 'feel' the road a bit more.
