Those who drop there cars are fools!!!

When i first got my max i dropped it right away, the only time i felt the stock suspension was the ride from the dealer to my house.

So after over 2 yrs and 3 different kinds of suspension set ups, i decided to put the stock suspension back in. No more dodging bumps in the road that i used to do and knew where they were by heart, i now have a nice comfy ride in my grocery getter

Some of you may say the stock ride sucks, and now my car cant handle... Well, its ok because now i can drive in the snow, fly over bumps, go up a ramp straight!, run over dead animals without worrying about damaging my front bumper, i can even stick my head in my wheel gap to check for stuff!

Sure my car looks like a whale in motion when taking a turn, but now i can run over people and i dont have to worry about things getting stuck under my car

Look at all these benefits! Newbies, keep your stock suspension!!!

Sounds like you need a Ford 4x4 Superduty as your daily driver!

Either your wheel gap is tremendously huge for a Maxima to have or you have a relatively small head

I think that everyone here would agree that this is a matter of opinion. would you call someone who got a cold air intake a fool for not leaving it stock? Most of us know the downsides of getting our car dropped. But we also know the benefits,too. That's why we dropped them. My car is dropped 2 inches and I LOVE the way it handles.

waste = to squander, throw away, misuse

waist = the part of your body where your pants are "supposed" to be pulled up to, and where belts are usually worn...

The difference is handling is night and day, with my GR2's and Teins over the OEM setup. I would never go back to stock. Plus it looks much better.

Agreed...nice thread...think it all comes down to what your priorities are...if performance is your top need, than lowering it will obviously help that...on the other hnd, if you're like me and put in a 50-mile round trip commute into the bomb-cratered roads of Washington, DC....having the car lowered would result in a broken *** and destroyed body kits/un dercarriage. Just goes back to "each to his own"...do what you need to to make your car the way you like it...don't sweat what others are doing...nobody's a fool if you like YOUR car....
