The title pretty much tells it all, but what has shown success or what have you used to lower your 3rd gen maxima and what affect will this have on the "Sonar Suspension." Or should I just ditch the sonar crap altogether ? Also I am looking for a place to find some apc clear corners, I don't think they make them anymore! Thanks a lot for your help

COMBO.......

S P R I N G S

INTRAX = 1.75" drop. $180ish
Suspension Techniques = 1.5" (I think) $190ish
EIBACH = 1.2" drop $230ish


S T R U T S

KONIs = $$$! and you have to modify to fit.
TOKICO = good value near or about $450ish

My Personal favorite COMBO would be the KONI adjustables and the INTRAX. The lowest spring and the best strut on the market.

It may depend on where you live and how the roads are. If there are alot of potholes then you may not want to go with Intraks. I personally have Suspension Techn. and I live and work in the Nations Capitol with major potholes and bumps. I have two friends w/ Intraks and one blew his struts out and the other doesn't even attent driving in the city. I myself don't mind a car is made to drive and with the Suspension Techn. I can do just that.

I think since them I have gotten the Y-pipe, high flow catt., 2.5 inch pipe along w/ the remus muffler. I also got some new rims. On the inside I got woodgrain. I'll be getting my custom trunk soon (I can't wait) it well be the tighest sh@t in the area hell maybe even on the EAST COAST again. But for the most part I really been focusing on my motorcycle because cars just don't do it for me when it comes to speed and ladies. Feel Me Yo!!! Plus I have 208k miles on my baby so I have to be easy because I want it to get to 300k. I do have other mods in mind but I'm taking it slow plus there aren't too many mods left for me to do without doing major motor work. Post a new thread that we can write on.
