I just got new 17x8" wheels for my maxima with 235/45/17 tires and I'm looking for a drop that will work well while being relatively cost effective. I realized that I could go with H&Rs and Illuminas or AGXs, but that will cost me like $600. I was wondering if anyone out there has a Maxspeed/GR-2 setup and how it works for them. I can get the springs for $80 and the shocks for about $220 which makes for a total cost of $300. I am not looking for the best performance in the world, but I also do not want to be bouncing like crazy, and I don't want blown struts in 6 mos. Any opinions?

 

the gr2s should last if you dont live where theres too many bumps and bad roads. the maxspeeds are ok. i doubt you will bounce like crazy, but you will also gain a little more handling with an aftermarkedt suspension

 

I've heard of that combo and I've heard good and bad, I can say I've heard a little more good that bad.

I am considering GR2 also but are thinking about the AGX so I can adjust, but I think the GR2 might be at the setting I would keep the AGXs (2 times stiffer than stock).

Couple of 5th gens have max speed and love the drop, I think some 4th gens have it too, I think for most that I have heard it provided a good drop and was still a decent ride.

 

i have maxspeeds with gr2's and i dont like it...alittle stiffer than stock and also give the max alot nicer look.....ive had mine for about 6 months now....no problems at all

 

What dont you like about it? Is it just too harsh?

 

sorry....i meant to say i LIKE IT

 

Lol, I was going to say it sounds like you like it. Thanks for the responses, its good to have feedback from someone with the actual setup.
