I was looking into changing my entire suspension because i have a broken stut mount and almost all of my struts are bad. I was considering ordering a set of H&R springs and a set of 4 KYB GR-2 struts with new strut mounts all around. Is this all I would need to order and do you think this would be a pretty good setup? Im looking to spend under $600. Also does anyone else have this setup or have pics of their max with the H&Rs on it with stock maxima 17s? How hard is it to change the suspension? Any help greatly appreciated...

 

I have that setup. I'm pretty happy with it overall. Sometimes I wish the damping was a little firmer. The ride is not too harsh, but it's nothing near stock and don't expect it to be with any lowering spring.

You can see pics on my homepage.

Also, don't forget to hit the link in my sig and order some long travel mounts for the rear. They help smooth out the ride a lot.

 

what about those tokico hp struts with the tokico springs that custommaxima sells? or maybe the H&R springs with the tokico hp struts? im looking for a ride quality similar to stock but maybe a little firmer...i have a GLE maybe an SE type suspension...

 

Tokico HPs are not suitable for any lowering springs.

They are way too soft.

 

which strut is firm and would go good with the H&Rs? but not too expensive

 

when it comes to struts and springs you can't be cheap with your money. In my opinion , when it comes to struts there is no substitution for what is good. KYB/AGX will give you the firmest ride. Tokico illuminas won't give as stiff of a ride and are a little more comfortable. Anything less is a waste of money. The best would be to buy coilovers but obivously you don't want to spend that much. But if you do either go with JIC's or D2's.

 

What about OEM Maxima SE Springs with HP's or Illuminas? Would that be OK? I'm assuming Illuminas would be the Struts to get if I wanted to lower my car? I'm going to be gettin 19's so I really don't need a drop or else I might rub.

 

Either of those would be a very nice riding and good handling setup.
