These pics are before and after I got my Eibachs and Tokicos.

 

i cant wait til i drop my car..

 

nice drop.............

 

Oh my GOD your car looks nice with those rims and that color. Damn man, that looks better than anything aftermarket. I'm drooling.

 

Very nice looking car.
Mad Propz

 

nice..




I will be lowering the car this weekend....finally

 

Nice. There is a big drop there. I never knew the Eibachs make the car look that dropped. Looks like mine with the In-Trax springs.

What kinda rims are those? they arent the fact are they?

 

The AE rims. I'm waiting for mine still, my brother is blowing me off.

 

Yes...they're the AE rims...

Medicsonic, thanks for your help with posting my pictures!
I really appreciate it!

 

dsmercado: very nice drop man, looks very good with the 2k rims. goodluck with it!

 

dsmercado that is one nice drop. anyway how do you get your tires so shiny.

 

Meguiar's Endurance

check out the link...it's a pretty good product and as they say it lasts for weeks not just days...

it gives a good shine...it comes with a little applicator sponge...i guess it's not as easy as the armor all or other brand sprays but it's good stuff

hope this helps

thats a huge drop, and from only Eibachs, no cutting? cool, how's the ride? i dunno if i want to try the Eibachs or the H&R's?

 

LOL...Now, by far this is one of the funniest, and worst attempts of altering one's maxima for the sake of gaining exceptance on these boards. Alright, where to start, where to start?? Hmmm...

(1) In both pictures (before and after) the car is parked in the EXACT same spot. This would be pretty close to an impossibility.

(2) Look at the three white lines on the wall. All three intersect with the car at the exact same part of the car.

(3) The light glare in both pictures, including the glare on the side view mirror (is exactly the same, which would be impossible), the front part of the hood (by the clearance light) and on the actual side quarter panel of the car are EXACTLY the same in both pictures. IMPOSSIBLE. If the car was lowered, it wouldn't be in the same spot as before and the light glare would be different! THIS IS THE KILLER!

(4) Also, the lines (or cracks going along the back wall), which are very faint...Intersect with the car at the exact same spots as before. The bottom line intersects with the clearance light, and the top line intersects on top of the hood. If the car was actually lowered, and the car was parked in the same exact, 100% same spot as before, the cracks on the wall would be intersecting with the car at a MUCH higher point. And the glare on the car would have to be different as well.

(5)The grade of each photo is drastically different, which in this case would mean that you took the picture with a somewhat sh*ty camera, then after editing the photo, you used the sharpen feature on whatever program you used to edit the photo.

If you were going to drop it, via an art program, you should have slammed it and said you had GC's or something...

 

just out of curiousity.. do you really have to move the car if you put shocks and springs?? i mean it just goes straight up and back down.. camera's have been known to take similar pictures before.. and this forum isnt really for verbally bashing someone for a crappy job in photoshop it's to help other max enthusiasts right?? yikes man..

boo yeah - http://www.geocities.com/ssjztien/max/max.html

 

you're a ***! have fun with your first post?

1)look at the yellow line by the tire on the bottom pic. the rubber from his tire is nearly on it. where is it on the top pic? proves you wrong

2)take a piece of paper and follow the edge down the far right line, it will go down the far right line on both pics, but what happened now? the rim on the bottom moved further out? proves you wrong

3)the glares wont be much different because he is taking the pic from a similar position. the glares are too faint to tell a difference but differences in glares can be seen. proves you wrong

4)maybe im blind but the cracks are not the same. on the bottom pic, the bottom of the headlight goes along with he bottom parallel of the crack. as you can tell on the top pic, the the bottom of the headlight goes along with the top parallel of the crack. proves you wrong

5)what is your point here? so he might of had a bad bamera and tried to sharpen the pics for us viewers to see. this proves nothing.

anything else smart guy?

[B]I used Eibach pro-kit springs and tokico premium performance shocks right out of the box...no cutting whatsoever...

The ride is harsher than my stock cushy ride...but i think it's to be expected...

hope this helps!

 

I did move the car...I had the shocks and springs installed at a shop...It's my parking spot in my garage...I park in the same spot every day...(for the last 2 years)...I park in the same exact position...

It really pisses me off when someone accuses me of something totally off the wall...I'm just trying to help out my fellow Maxima owners...

 

LOL...WHAT A F**KING JERK! Why do you have to accuse me of something you obviously know nothing about? Here I am trying to post before and after pics for the benefit of everyone on the site and all I get is grief from you. I wanted to share my experience and show people what happens when you lower the car. If I was editing the picture I would have owned up to it. I'm not here to deceive anyone.

Let's get on to your moronic points...

(1)The car is parked in the exact same point. Ever hear of a parking garage? I have one in my building and I have an assigned spot. I've been parking in the same spot for two years. Hence the same spot and parking space.

(2)I use the three lines to judge how far I am from the back wall. It's going to be the same because I always make sure I'm right by the lines so that I don't hit the back wall or jut out of my spot.

(3) The light glare is the same because the light on the garage ceiling is on the same place both times I took the pictures. The car was lowered NOT the ceiling.

(4)Read points 2 and 3...if you can read that is...

(5)The grade IS different. I took the pictures with two different cameras. The before shot is with a 35mm disposable camera because my girlfriend had my regular camera. I got the car lowered and then I got my 24mm APS camera back and took the after picture. Does your brain function?

If I was going to drop it with a computer program, I would admit it.

I'm just trying to help out my fellow Maxima owners with my personal experiences and then Mr. Moron (MaxHack) comes along.

I apologize to everyone on the board for this outburst, but I just get steamed when someone accuses me of crap.

 

I'm sorry, how did this contribute to the forum? What was the point of you taking your time to just tear his post apart? Bored perhaps?

Jeez...

-Shing

 

This is a damn shame. People you have to agree with this guy. If this is what was really done at least the author didn't spend a lot of money and time on dropping his Max.

 

Anyway, nice job dsmercado, and your welcome. I hope to lower mine soon, but only by about 1 inch, I kinda like the way the car handles/rides right now, so it'll only be for show, not handling.

 

dsmercado, Is the color of your car that Greyish Purple color? If so what is that color called.

 

My car is sterling mist. You can see in the sig.

 

I did drop my car.

Those are actual pictures and I have the receipts. You can see the stock shocks and springs that were taken off the car in my apartment and you can check the car and see the Eibach/Tokicos.

I'm trying to share my experiences for everyone's benefit and what do I get? Verbal abuse.

 

Dear MaxHack,

How dare you accuse somebody of doing something without any evidence? I believe you signed an agreement stating you would not upload anything “defamatory” when you signed up on maxima.org. I am positive that your reasoning is ridiculous and without validity because I do know for a fact that Dsmercado did lower his car because I am his girlfriend and I can actually see the difference in the gaps (before and after he lowered the car). When he was looking to lower his car, he kept trying to find out how it looked before and after but nobody on the site had any pictures available. As a service to his fellow Maxima owners, he thought he would help people out and show them what the before and after looks like – so that they are more informed to make up their minds on whether to lower their own cars or not. And he gets accused of lying – don’t you have anything better to do with your time than make good people look bad?

When all of this was going down I did look at the pics again and saw what I think was a differet color strut and I did figure that you did have some way of parking you car in the same spot. My uncle hangs a orange rope with a nut tied to the end in his garage so when it touches his window, he knows its time to stop.

 

The shocks/struts are different colors. The stock ones were black and dirty. The new ones are a bright blue and clean for now...

Thanks for backing me up...

I'm sorry if I came across as harsh to you or anyone else. I was just a little ****ed at the time. I'm ok now.

 

No problem. I never went that deep into what this guy was accusing you of. He didn't know for sure anyway. I am pretty sure he is the type of person that has done this in the past to make people think he dropped his own car.

You know yer aZn if........

just kidding I know a lot of asian ppl who do that though.. since i live in an apt, i cant do that. I look at the lines/boards on the wall, and i almost always part around the same spot as well... its not hard.

 

not to mention the pics in his sig..im sorry but it would take some major editing to make pics that good, the drop is clearly there. and to maxhack- you got a lot of time on your hands man..but there is no point in using if for ****ing people off. There are a lot of nice people that teach a lot on here, and people like me that have been learning since day one..so dont detract from that experience. humor is one thing, immaturity is another.

 

Hey man, nice drop! The ride looks sweet with the '01 rims and that colour. Good luck with the car.
