not a problem....I just saw Rob (dblrr90)'s car dropped 2.5+" and there is no camber problem. It only becomes an issue if you're really slamming it.

Stillen makes a camber kit, as do a few other companies, but not many people use em....not necessary with the maxima, our suspension is not the same as a civic....

yeah, i've got my SS Dampers sitting pretty low... I could go lower, but I'm not trying to scrape the road as I drive...

Long as you don't overdue it, you shouldn't run into any alignment problems...

Basically, you'd only need after the drop if the range of adjustment doesn't allow you to run the camber setting that you want. I have always used camber bolts at the very least (camber plates on the SE-R). I have pretty specific camber settings that I like to run, even if my car wasn't lowered. No matter what anyone says, a drop in suspension will affect camber and toe. Like some people have said, it may not be too bad depending on the drop. Still, camber settings can really affect handling and it's important to have them right.

Sure am... It's pretty cool... Unfortunately though, I only notice a change in suspension ride when going from the very softest setting and the very stiffest setting... I can't tell the difference with any of the other incremental settings.

Basically I have mine programmed for 3 different settings (for the 3 different memory locations) Totally stiff - 0,0 Totally soft - 16,16 and medium - 8,9
