finally!! the mods came in!!

Don't you love when you order something online and the anticipation for it to arrive builds up inside of you, then finally FedEx shows up at your door and you're giggling like a little school guy and he looks at you with this face, like 'What the f**k is wrong with this guy?'

I finally got my Spring Springs / KYB AGX setup yesterday and I put them on over yesterday and today... my Maxima looks so pretty And driving the bumpy roads of Miami isn't as bad as I thought. I had the stock spring/strut setup on the car (it has 147k miles mind you) and compared to that, its way better... except on those big bumps when the poor bumper goes "BUMP!" on the ground The only thing I notice a bit off is that the back has less of a drop than the front... other than that, the Sprints and KYBs are awesome!! Highly recommended!! My Maxima looks like its supposed to now!

My Warpspeed Y-pipe and Greddy muffler also came in... waiting on that b-pipe to put this puzzle together...

Anybody have a similar setup? Its gonna get pretty loud, eh?

Yeah, the setup will be pretty loud. But wait, is this the Greddy WS or a universal piece?

Fedex never seems to come when I am home. I just get that notice slip and feel like ing, knowing my toys are so close, yet so far.

I live in a residential area so fedex and ups usually leave the packages if no one's home. Even so, I always tell the companies I order from 'NO Signature required on delivery!'

Gotta love that feeling when you drive home from work and see boxes sitting by the front door. It's Xmas again!

How long did you wait on the Y-pipe and which one did you get.

I live in a mid ghetto apartment, so that's not an option for me

yeah i'm a miamian, to be more specific, hialeah (second cuba, USA) the ride with the kybs and the sprints is really better than i had expected. driving the streets in my area ia like driving on those rocks that pile close to land at the beach (the ones you have to climb up to get out of the water). i dont know if they're roads or outdoors adventure 4x4 getaway streets.

anyway, the ride is pretty nice. the kybs ajustable add to this, being able to make it stiffer when im driving the bumpy streets, it feels nice. thanks for the suggestion on cutting the back springs... i'll get around to it... i'm still tired from putting all that crap on. the y-pipe is warpspeed, it came pretty quick, only took about a week and a half (i called em up, spoke to a really nice lady). the muffler is a genuine greddy sp muffler... the entire catback system was too expensive, so i just got the muffler and decided to do the rest with other brand new companies. the b-pipe is a stillen, coming in this week, no resonator... this sucker is gonna blow my ears!

im gonna have to prolly install a silencer on the piping to keep it down... i dunno yet, maybe if i enjoy the sound and my neighbors don't i'll keep it around for a while. i'll keep you guys posted.
