Who would be willing to pony up for some replacement rear shock mounts that give back almost all of the rear suspension travel lost with lowering springs?

Motivational does not make them for Maximas any more. I made some of these type mounts for myself and a couple of other ORGers a couple of years ago. If enough people are interested, I will do another production run. The first run would be for 4th Gens only. As soon as I get ahold of a 5th Gen to take some measurements, those would follow.

The price would probably be around half of what Motivational used to charge. I will take some pics this weekend and gather more info.

Post up if you are interested or think there would be enough interest to get this rolling.

Thanks.

 

Let me be the first to say.. very interested!

 

Very interested, though I cannot remember Motivational's original price.

 

yeah, what he said

 

If I remember correctly, Motivational was selling them for $140 plus shipping.

 

i got them for $125 + shipping, and they are worth every penny.

 

i what a pair add me to the list for 4TH gen

 

I will get some when my rear struts blow

 

Hmmm. See if any vendors want to stock them? You might as well make a few extra bucks on the side.

 

I'm way ahead of you.

 

I am sure Cattman will buy batches from you if you have not contacted them yet.

 

Another interested member here.

 

I am interested too.

 

I might be interested (even though I'm not even lowered yet ).

 

Bling, me to, can ya make something for the front?

 

The front is a whole different animal, but I'm not giving up yet...

 

Would that fit my maxima which will get a set of D2 coilover soon ? If yes then I'm interested, but I have a 5th gen (2001 ).

Cheers

Yes, they will work with coilovers, but as I mentioned, I haven't measured a 5th Gen yet to get the parts developed.

 

cool, I am realyl interested in these.

 

NICE.... i would buy some if i had my maxima still..

and did not have coilovers still


and...

 

What is the big deal on these? i was going to get them when i did my GCs and AGX install but i ran a bit short... what does this improve (i know it increases suspension travel)? but why do you want this? i am dropped about 2 inches all around with the GCs, would this improve JUST the life of my struts? improve ride quality? handling? etc?

someone educate me fully on these please?

 

BtW, depending on the price and when your going to have these done, i would be interested...

 

These mounts relocate the mounting point of the shock piston and bumpstop to restore some of the suspension travel lost when lowering springs are installed. The benefits are a smoother ride and more consistent handling. You'll notice the car feels more stable on bumpy roads, especially around corners.

This pic shows how the shock piston is relocated:



The final product will be made of steel with a painted finish to prevent rusting. I'm still getting pricing and delivery times worked out. I'll start a new thread for the real GD when it's all finalized.

I should probably know this already, but are you ben or are those reviews for the original motivational mounts? Any idea on a timeframe for this?

 

I'm Ben.

That's my review and Cyrus's (Vyrus on the ORG) reviews.

 

sweet, thanks for the explanation, the pics did me in for the understanding

let us know what the prices will be set at, if they are cheap. I will be in..

 

interested as well
