Yes I decided to keep the H&R springs afterall. I had it the H&R springs installed today. The ride is pretty good. Mind you though, my front and rear AGXs are set a 1. Some people have said that too low of a setting would make the ride bouncy and ride like it's on blown struts. I didn't notice this at all. The ride isn't bouncy, it's definitely stiffer than the stock SE springs. However, it's not too stiff, just a bit stiffer than the SE springs. The front end is a bit higher than the rear end. I measured it: the front end is about a four finger gap and the rear end is about a 3 1/2 finger gap. I have small hands and bony fingers, so keep that in mind. Even though the front end is a bit higher than the rear, it doesn't bother me at all. Maybe I am getting old. It's definitely an improvement over stock that's for sure. Do you guys think I should stick with the 1f/1r setting of the AGXs? I'm not sure if I should bump up the setting on the AGXs, but I'm worry if I do, the ride will suffer(i.e. stiff). Overall, I'm quite pleased with the H&R springs and AGX struts combo. Another reason why I put the H&Rs on is because I'm going to some new rims soon. Soon I wait until I get an alignment before I put the new rims on? I asked this because I know I have to wait about 2 weeks for the springs to settle a bit before I go get an alignment. I don't want to put the new rims on and have an uneven wear so soon because it's not aligned yet.


Btw, the Eibachs are still for sale.

 

Glad you finally found some springs you like.

Adjusting settings can't hurt, you might even find something you like better. I'd personally try something around a 2/5 to see how it feels. The back of a maxima generally needs a lot of dampening.

The rims shouldn't be a factor in your alignment worries. If the stock rims have so much toe in, the aftermarket ones will be the same. Just wait a few weeks for it to settle and go get one done.

 

im ridin on 3 front and 6 on rear.

i luv it.
spring take a while to settle in to its max drop.juss ride around with some real heavy people

 

Yeah, I think I'm going to play around with the AGX setting to see which I like. I think I'm going to try 2/4 and see how that rides.

 

You have the "Most times modded" car on the org.

 

 

 

based on that chart of stock to agx settings will you get more life out of the struts if you set the # higher?

 

I'd probably have to say yes, due to the higher dampening preventing the shock from bottoming out. That's the biggest killer of shocks. And if not that, a higher setting will cause the shock to travel less, leading to less o-ring, internal body and piston wear.

But also, in general, the lower and stiffer your springs are, the more your shocks will wear.

 

What kind of bodykit is that on your car?
