Looks very even to me. If your looking for looks, keep it as is. If for performance, what ever works the best.

As long as it looks even. I almost thought the rear looked higher. Just wanted other opinions. As far as performance, the steering feels better on the road and it corners flat or better.

Well, if I do, then I'll do the rear this spring or summer. It's going to snow again this weekend.

Leave it. The wheelgap is the same on both ends. If you drop the rear almost an inch it's gonna be nearly tuckin' in the rear and it's gonna look 4x4 in the front again. 6th gens are really bad about looking too saggy in the rear and your's looks perfect right now. I'm runnin progress in the front and maxspeed in the rear on my 5.5, pics will be up in a couple of days.

I really like how it looks now. I've been testing the car out. Before I had to slow down or brake more to turn. Now I can take a turn like a maniac. I have to hold the steering wheel very tight or it will yank away, but it straightens up while accelerating hard. The rear end sways but the front tires hook up and pulls the rear straight. Some punk in a Jetta was playin around with the Max and when he saw how I followed him around the corner in the big Maxima, he must have done 100mph in a 35mph zone to get away. I was laughing.

Thanks, It gets plenty of looks now. Going thru a drive thru, I had the wheel turned all the way as I waited in line. A driver going around stopped at the front of the Max and gave the wheel well a long look. I guess people have never seen a lowered 6th Gen Maxima around my area. One guy yesterday in "GTO" kept looking and when I followed him out of the parking lot onto the street, he gunned it like he knew I was going to challenge him. You could smell the exhaust fumes in the air. I just laughed.

I do need to work on the suspension and handling more. RSB,front strut tower brace and better brakes.
