internetautomart.com has very good pricing but dont forget if your going to be spending money you should prolly not skimp on things and get quality stuff and dont forget when you lower the car you need camber kits front and rear and you need to get the car fully aligned its not just springs and struts. I got my tokicos on ebay brand new from some guy for 300 shipped which is a great deal and i see them still on ebay once in a while and i got my intrax springs for like 230ish shipped and i got the camber kits from internetautomart for about 100ish shipped i forget but just look around in all i think for a good quality drop it will cost you around 700 bucks that inludes the alignment you need to get. i wouldnt skimp on parts though youll kick yourself in the face later.

but I'm at $1200

damn you for making me add that up, subframes will mean I've spent the same ammount on suspension as I did for the car


actually if you include the allignment its $1350

Actually, I was only counting the moving parts of the suspension. I didn't count the subframes, RSTB, FSTB, LTB, modified control arms (not just the bushings. )

I'm not telling what I did on the modding. my car only.

nah.. just welded the seams better on them. for the abuse I'm putting my car through, I figured 15 minutes of additional welding would be good for it... just like my front and rear crossmembers.. frame rails.. soon to be strut tower parts, etc etc etc. I'll do all that while I'm installing the roll cage.

Harvs94max, where did you get those rims from? How much? Don't mean to go off topic, but I have a beige 91 and those might look good on them

yes you need camber kits anytime you lower your car or your going to eat up your tires the front kit from internetautomart is like 40 bucks and the rears ar like 40 a piece or you can dig up anyother set of adjustable links from the junkyard for cheap

HATE im selling the rims for 450 shipped if your interested or if anyone else is interested pm me

MOST Maximas don't need camber correction with regular streetable springs- eibach, intrax, Sus Tech, sprint...

the lower ones will put you right on the edge of needing them, but you should still be okay as long as your toe is set properly.

i guess i am wrong then. i was always told to get them anytime you lower the car more than about a half inch so basically anytime you lower the car. I still think you should get them if your going to get anything other than the eibachs just my opinion but ive been proven wrong
