hey guys, those anyone know if the 2000-01 suspension fit the 2002-03??? i've been lookin at these coilover from NEX and my guy said they make it for the 01 maximas so i was wonderin if i can use it on my 03

N1 Suspension Kit With Single Coil Over Nissan Maxima 00-03 Set of Four 1150.00

 

i think its the same

 

my guess would be that the spring rates etc might be differnt since they are differentt engines, thus different weight and load . but I dont know for sure.

 

From what I've seen on the .Org... people use the same suspension parts (OEM and aftermarket) between 5th Gens and 5.5 Gens... so I'd say they're very similar...?

 

only thing different that i know of is the fron rsb is heavier on the 2k2 2k3.

 

thanks for all the inputs guys, makes my decision to buy the NEX system more likely now

 

front rsb (rear sway bar)?

 

I'd be a little careful about this NEX...I've never heard of anyone here with that coilover system....there are a few more widely-used/reputable brands out there.....

By the way....just a friendly heads up, you're gonna get flamed big-time if you keep "Maxima SE-R" in your profile on the left....(as we all know, there's no such thing...)

 

front springs are stiffer in the front of the 3.5L to handle the extra weight, the front sway bar is thicker. Over all when doing suspension mods, everything interchanges between 00 and 03.

 

i post maxse-r in my profile because i use to have a sentra se-r and just like that badge so i'm gonna put it on my max since we have sentra se-r and altima se-r, i'll be the first with the max se-r

 

bwhaha good catch. i meant front sway bar.

 

Since the front springs and sway bar are heavier on the 5.5 gen, I wonder if it would work better on the 2k-2k1s...

 

Uh... okaaay...

To each his own I guess...
