Get some ground control coilovers so you can customize the height any way you want at any time.

If you get the GC's you'll be getting clunking sounds everytime you turn, dips.. Just ask RBA...

I installed Iilacs GC's and worked on them many many times and they are quiet. lubricated strut bearings take care of groaning noises and wire wraps takes care of clunks

if you want a nice drop with normal springs and struts go with the Sprint/Agx combo...by far the best looking drop with regular springs(ie not coilovers) and the AGX's can handle the beating, even in NJ and RI. Check my sig & homepage to see pics of the drop.

If you're 5sp, you're gonna have a lil more difficulty trying to get the front to drop lower than the back... The majority of maximas sold (and possibly modded) are automatics w/heavier trannys causing us 5sp owners to be looking @ the sky even when we're trying to lower our cars. doesn't that suck?

Thurz, i have to disagree look at the pics of my car on my webpage, look how much lower my front end is than my rear end. And yes i have a 5spd...i am in the process of putting my system in so hopefully my rear end will even out. Right now it looks agressive as hell in a drag racing stance.

doesn't look like you're using 215/60-15 or 205/65-15 tires...so you don't count in my generalization. what mods do you have btw?
