Touche' to the 4x4 gods!

You know how this works...BEFORE:



...and AFTER:



Setup is: Eibach pro kit, Tokico HP's, Riax Zuka 18's, Riken Raptor 225/40/18's.(I will be touching up the body seam underneath and a good buff. Winter in NE Ohio hurts!)

Lol, I thought I did! That's Eibach for you. I like the ride of it, even though it isn't slammed. I wish it was, but its better this way, because our roads here are worse than a Bagdad minefield. At least I can't 'FIST' my front fender gap anymore! Now its down to 3 fingers!! I was more hoping for a BMW 'tuck', know what I mean?

It's because his tires were a lower profile compared to stock. The drop looks good!

much improved look from stock, even though the drop looks stock it fits nicely with your rims.

These are a little better than the previous group. I am hoping to get some more stuff done for summer. But until then, I am satisfied. Mainly because other than my best friend and his stock '97 SE (white pearl), I am the ONLY Maxima owner in the area of Youngstown that is an enthusiast and does more than wash my Max. We are overrun by SRT4s, Civics, and Cavaliers.

Nissan engineers were so intent on winning best 6 cylinder engine in America for so many years in a row that when it came to suspension they said, "Ah screw it, we'll just throw Pathfinder struts on there."

Car look good and will handle best at that height.

I didn't go lower simply because in Ohio, our roads are terrible. This is a daily driver, to school and back every day no less. Its a 20 minute drive through roads one way that may as well not even be paved. Worse yet, the parking garage is badly designed so it has speed bump like humps (about 4" tall at peak) every 10 feet or so (every seam for the concrete) in striaghts and 2 humps on every turn. The Eibach/ Hp combo seemed best match for my price and needs (I also replaced CVs, ball joints, bushings, mounts, bearings, seals, calipers, pads, rotors, hardware, and lines - serious overhaul).

If this was not a daily, them suckers'd be Tucked! Trust Me. That kills me every day, but that's how it has to be.
Thanks for the compliments!
