sweet max dude,
where did you get the Z wheels and how much did they run you? also whats there size?

 

I don't know the quality of dropzone springs however I would go with progress springs they give the best safest drop for our cars, IMO. 1.7 in front 1.5 in back. Plus you'll also need new struts otherwise the lowering springs will blow out your OEM struts you have on. Go with Tokico illuminas, they are expensive but they are the best, also IMO.

But the wheels look nice on your car. Keep up the good work.

 

not bad.....

 

ahh ****, i just got replacement struts for the back
i was planning on new front struts.. but will I have to replace the brand new rear struts that I got if i lower it?

 

$400 for all for tires and rims. Got them from a buddy

 

nice... whats the size of those?

 

I used drop zone springs with no problems, but its more of a 1and a half in'drop and not 2in like said. unless mine still need to settle

 

nice rims ... what size are those rims?

 

Should be 17"

 

make sure you buy eibach camber bolts when you get the springs... you will tear up the inner edge of the front tires rollin on a 2inch drop! i did i had to buy 2 new 18" tires for $250

car looks hott!!
lata,

thanks for the replies, those are 17" rims. I wouldn't go any bigger, just need to drop it now :P

 

looks okay, car looks like a lincoln now

 

I used to have 17" 350z wheels, they look good. Here are a couple of pics.

With those springs you car would look good, but ride harshly. According to http://maxmods.dyndns.org/?FrontPage at or around 1.5in is the best way to go for a balance of looks, comfort, and performance. I myself am going for the Eibach Pro Kit and Koni Yellows.

 

wow, your 95 looks nice and shiny! Man I need to wash mine!

I have eibach and KYB-AGX. I would suggest Tokico Illumina and eibach for awesome handling and a moderate drop. check out my homepage and squint away the steelies.

looks good, u need to lower it, just like i do

 

Why'd you get rid of them?

To original poster...looks nice, slam it!

 

My dad works where they make the wheels. I was the first maxima sporting 350z wheels, before the car even came out. I got rid of them, because my friend wanted them.

 

Nice


Dropzones aren't the greatest. Progress is what i recommend.

sweet...I didnt know they make those wheels here. What company makes them? btw is moreno valley close to pomona?

 

Looks clean and well thought out so far. Remove the thing along the edge of the driver door though.

 

The factory is in La Mirada.... Moreno Valley is about 20 Miles from pomona i think..

 

What is the offset on the 17" 350Z rims? They look like it has the correct offset for the Maxima. I have the 18" touring 350 Z rims and i just got the tire mounted on today. When i first test fitted it, the fronts look like it's going to stick out about less than 1/2 inch. By the way its 18X8 with +30 offset.

i gotta 97 max dropped...i just put them 350 rimz on my car about a month ago...and right now my car is in the shop cuz it needs new tires...my front 2 tires look like slicks right now...when i went from my stock hubz to them 17' i had to higher my car a lot and my dumb @Ss didnt get an alignment so i basically messed up 4 brand new potenza tires...ill sent you some pix of what mine looks like with a drop...i just dont know how to post pix...if someone can help me that would be cool...i have pix of my car on a cd...just dont know how to post them ;p...right now my set up are the tokeko blue shocks and ground control coilovers...ride is ok...but i know it could be much better...i just rushed my decision on what to get like 5 yrs ago...good luck u need a drop for sure...

 

I would say check out the Tain H-Techs. From what I understand, they are about the same drop as the Progress or Maxspeed, and they are supposed to be more comfortable. I think you can get them for like $170 in a group deal right now or on ebay.

 

i just bought a set of MAXSPEED lowering springs for $79.99

 

Not the best pick in the world IMO. You're going to use 80 dollar crap springs to be the mainframe of your suspension system....


But its your car. Good luck

 

They can't be any worse than the OEM springs. Are MAXSPEED worse than DROPZONE?

 

They look interesting on the maxima but it give the car a bulky look.

 

If I were to do it again, it would definitely be Eibach and Tokico Illuminas.

 

dont get dropzones theyll blow you struts very easily...ride isnt to bad but the load the put on the struts blows em fairly easy...i have then trynna take the cheap way out...in now looking to buy some tien stech's with either agx or illuminas ....if i were you id stay away from them.

 

the car looks clean and sharp with those rims on nice buy
I have Intrax springs on mine havent blown my struts yet. Ive had them for about 40,000 miles now. very nice drop and very nice ride do Intrax
