I need new shocks and struts soon so I figured I would lower my Maxima while I'm at it. I have 16 inch wheels so you guys know. I was lookin around on southwest autoworks and I saw that they a couple choices. One was a 1.4" drop and the other was a 2" drop. Which one do you guys think would look the best with my 16" wheels?

 

H&R springs with Tokico Illumina struts.

Can't beat that combo.

 

agreed....if you can't afford the Illumina go with KYB Gr-2

 

H&R/KYB AGX. Very happy with this setup.

 

H&R Springs with KYB GR-2

 

for me personally i want a bigger drop but h&rs are praised highly around here...

ok, i forgot to say my budget...around 600 dollars

 

Get the Tokico lowering kit from CM, i'd like to see more reviews on it. Currently I have only seen the one here on the org. it costs about 550 dollars or so, has the tokico illuminas and tokico hp springs, supposed to give a 1.5 drop, but the review said it looks like it did more, the rest of the review said it was an awsome setup. heh

 

You could get H&Rs + GR-2s installed for $600

 

That can be done very easily with the H&R/KYB combo!!!

 

Personally I would enver even consider compromising for budget...just save.

Last summer I cranked the setting on my front AGX's to 3. HOLY CRAP was there a massive difference in turn in. Then this winter I put them back to 2. HOLY CRAP was there a difference in how bad the potholes where killing me.

I thought the adjustable struts might be a little gimmicky when I first got them, but they are very functional and I am 100% glad that I spent the extra money. Maybe it's just my situation, but I would not want to be locked into one level of dampening with lowering springs. It really helps the handling to be able to increase the amount of dampending and really helps the ride to be able to decrease it. If you're looking more for the drop then handling, then GR-2's might be okay (haven't ppl said they're like 2 on the AGX scale?) but if you want Max handling and the ability to soften the ride if there are potholes, the AGX's are just unbeatable.
