Damn that drop is nice!! Wish I could get away with that in NY.

Ever thought of a lip kit or 97-99 front end conversion?

car looks great, for some reason I really like lightly modded max's they look clean and great! IMO some people get a little out of control with the modification. Great looking max!

it's a little low for my liking, but with wheels like that, it would probably look like an suv if it were any higher. Very tastefully done. Keep up the good work!!

Mod list added...


thanks all for the positive feed back.
as for the plate number, thanks it's actually pshopped

when I got the max, first thing I wanted were the Cefiro lights since that was able to make it stick out more from other maxes.
I wanted to do a full conversion to 97-99 front and rear conversion since it looks more "agressive"... turns out, I decided to only do the trunk and tail lights since the rear bumper of the 97-99 has a flat surface/cut on it whereas the 95-96 is nice and smooth. Also, I wanted the 97-99 front bumper to compliment the Cefiro's. I find the 97-99 front bumper so much more agressive. after awhile, I actually like the 95-96 front better. It's subtle, but can look mean ( I plan on adding a 95-96 stillen lip)

So, how often do you seen 3 models in 1? ( Cefiro, Max 95-96, Max 97-99 )

The car is dropped on D2's...
for the price I paid in spring , personnally, this suspension is worth the price!

and as for axle problems, once dropped, make sure you align your car...
I have to replace mine ( passanger side) but that's because my camber wasn't ajusted properly for that height ( D2 Coil Over comes with camber adjustement plates ( for front suspension)

as for the pics, thanks I try to make my pics more interesting ( location, lighting, weather....) I have fun scouting locations

thanks guys..
as for the car looking long? that's probably because she is slammed to the ground ( illusion)

as for the red/clears, yeah I want to clear them, but I'll probably buy them already cleared from a member here ( I've seen a few sets for sale in the for sale section)...


I just can't wait for this snow to go away and start photoshoot 2006

I am randomly asking people this because I'm interested, did you bother corner weighting the D2's?

Lovin the drop. I wish I could slam my **** like that but the roads in the tri-state area won't allow that with out bouncin all over the place and or, swervin' all over the road to avoid potholes. Overall, thumbs up.

Meaning adjusting the coilovers so that with you in the car the weight is even.
It's a PIA, but if you're doing any real driving ie auto-x, track day or even drag passes, it will make the car handle far better than just springs. The ability to corner weight is why coilovers exist.

eheeheh thank you for the explanation...
therefore, no, I didn't corner weight... however, seeing the spring/shock so stiff, even if I get in the car, the wheel/car itself will not move ( meaning car won't drop lower since it's preset for that height and that height only)...

Since I don't do track yet , the only reason why I get coilovers is more for the height/ comfort adjustments..

However, the corner weighting does seem interesting.. I will look into it.. thanks
