GD: Cattman modified KYB's for 5th Gen
 

Alright guys heres the deal:

These are the modified KYB's that fit the 5th gen.
You can check them out at www.cattman.com
Brian said he will shave $25 off the price, but he needs a solid order of 10 to meet that price reduction.

Price is 425/ set

1. Cbass69187
2. acMAX
3. pavlossal
4. ohboiya
5. rob van dam
6. elroystoy
7.
8.
9.
10.

If you have any questions you can email me at :hamiltonre@mchsi.com

what will be the total needed for everything including shipping

If you do some minor modification of stock upper front strut mounts then all you need is the KYB's (425). I am checking on the shipping for you.

I'm going to get the 4th gen mounts ... when & if I sell the car I'm going to put everything back to stock.

L8r!

If you want the 4th gen mounts, they are $70/ pair (no discount).

i want in
 

i want to get in on this...just one thing....what will the total cost be?..and how will i get the payment to you?

thanks
albert

Re: i want in
 

I am still waiting on a shipping cost but it will be 425 + shipping.

The way the money will work is once we have ten people everyone will send me a money order that is made out to Cattman Performance and then I can organize it with your adresses, etc. and mail it to Brian as a whole package. This will make it easier on Brian because he won't be receiving these at all kinds of different times and have to figure out what is what.

Re: Re: i want in
 

i heard soemonme else say to include dustboots/bumpstops...is that something that we need to have with the kyb's?.....FOR ANYONE...will eibachs/kyb's....work as well as ground control/kyb?
most importantly...will eibach/kyb even my car out?
thanks
albert

Re: Re: Re: i want in
 

You dont need to but the dust boots.

As far as even out your car, it will look lower in the back with springs just due to the way the max is. If you got coilovers you could adjust that.

Bump stops are for those who dont have 17' stock on their SE model. If you have a SE with stock 17's, then teh car came with bumpstops. For those who did not, like a GXE, then get the bumpstops to avoid u hitting the inside of the wheel well.

If you're going to go with the GC coilovers .. then the dustboots won't fit .. don't bother with them.

one mroe question?
 

if i get..
1. the modified 5th gen kyb agx's
2. stillen camber kit
3. 5th gen ground control coilovers

is this all i need for the setup to work?....since im getting a stillen camber kit...do i still need to do some GRINDING?

thanks for the help
albert

I dont see why u would need the camber kit.

Might be pointless on a adjustable suspension.

the camber kit is supposed to stop eneven tire wear...i guess so...anyone correct me if im wrong?....do i need it?

for a 2 inch drop or more, yeah u need it. But from my understanding, the camber kit is adjusted when u do your alignment. If u keep going up and down with your coilovers, you defeat the purpose of putting a camber kit. Plus, maxima's can be adjusted slightly for camber.

well
 

i plan on dropping it low..then leaving it at that height.....i want to drop mine low enough so i'll get rid of the wheel gap and for the car to sit even...I have a 2001 AE maxima......will this kind of drop be lower than 2"?..will i need a camber kit now?

thanks

Re: well
 

after 2", id say use a camber kit. Speak to a Pro about that though. Just to be on the safe side. I dont know much about coilovers, cause I find them to be too stiff to be practical.

For you canadian customers on this group deal. I recommend we ship this product to a address close to our US borderlines. Then we drive over and get it. I will sponsor the cost of the gas if someone else drives. The brokerage cost and teh shipping cost should be cut down significantly. What Canadians in the Toronto GTA are interested in this?

hello?
 

bump it up!....anyone else?....we need a few more...

Re: hello?
 

I would like to be in, but I need to save up a bit, darn summer school classes took away from my mod savings. :)

When are you guys looking at doing this?

Re: Re: hello?
 

This will happen as soon as we get 10 people.

Re: Re: Re: hello?
 

Dude .. I may back out if you don't get a buyer soon .. I'm just going to buy it @ regular price ... I'll let u know when I can't wait any longer

Come on guys, only need a few more!

Hey Steve,

Let me know if you're going to do this for yourself and think your pricing will be better than Cattman's!

If you do .. what do you think timing will be like?

L8r!

i have to talk to my machine shop and see if this will even be worth it, it's something simple to do by the looks of it but i ahve to see how much time he thinks is involved, i did ti myself but it was "ghetto-rigged" in order to make it look good you would need to spend a little more time then i did. but my car was apart and i was making it fit no matter what and i did :)

Well guys I don't think we are goin to make it to 10.

I'm in...

Re: Cattman modified KYB's for 5th Gen
 

Woo hoo ... we're up to six!!!

Need four more!

I cant even tell how many people have said yes yet. i think 5 so far.

kybs
 

Just checking to see if there is enough interest now?

You guys still want to try this?

Re: kybs
 

Maybe I'll in. Causez I'm looking for the struts either. BTW,I don't quite understand this...

1)what is modified AGXs and why it's not fit with the 5th max?
2) 425/1-set = 425/4-struts(front+rear)?
3)what about if I'm living in Canada, do I need to get those modified AGXs?

Re: Re: kybs
 

KYB has not made struts specifically for the 5th gen max. Cattman modifies struts from a 4th gen I believe to fit the 5th gen maxima. The price is 425 for the entire set (4 struts). If your in Canada, and have a 5th gen you are in the same boat with everyone else. Your choices for struts are KYB AGX (modified), Tokico Blues, and I think Koni has some that require some slight modification to fit.

Hey bud,

Sorry I'm out ... I just went ahead & got them.

kybs
 

Thats cool, I was just checking interest.

I actually went ahead and did the same but mine got lost in the mail, time to reorder :(
