New Pics of the Max. Now it is lowered with Tein S-Techs instead of H&R springs. Also struts now are Tokico Illuminas instead of stock struts. Let me know your opinions. And I know the car isnt finished yet. It is a work in progress unless somebody wants to buy it off me with the right amount of money. lol

 

Wow, I cant belive you didnt take any pics with that sexy hood open lol

 

here is a older pic when i had H&R with stock struts.

 

looks really nice man....sweet

 

so how's the ride?

 

i LOVE whats under the hood more than anything

 

is that a 5th gen 3.5?

 

ride is the best. i have them on 5 all around. what do you gusy have them on that have illuminas?

 

the car looks absolutely nice. that 3.5 in there looks good too. you need to ae your cornerlamps.

 

how difficult was it to put the 3.5 in?

just noticed you're local. did you have a shop do it? how much?

 

everything doen in my garage by my bro and i. too big of a list to name everything that went in.

 

very impressive.

 

looks very sexy your corner lights do need ae though

 

man, where have you been? that 3.5 is old news looks great with the new drop!

 

i call on this (your bro did it).......Nice drop though

 

Looks tight! Can't wait to complete mine. 5 all around sounds alittle stiff for me.

Bling bling!! 1000 posts! right here

 

why dont you go ask him. he is maxs here on the org and he will say we both had a equal part in it. and dont start on that topic again on this thread please.

 

i put my stechs on yesterday i love the drop not as rough as some said they would be

 

looks really good, i got the s-techs on illuminas also, i love the almost perfect drop.

 

Looks hot. My favorite spring/strut combo. Also love that color maroon ... that's from the 350z isn't it?

BTW ... been to the track yet with that motor? I wish I could find someone locally to do that motor/tranny swap for me. I'd rather do that than FI.

A little OT: does the 6MT mate up to the VQ30 with minimal work?

 

BigHam, the trannies mate.

vsamoylov, the drop looks awesome. Love the color as well.

 

isnt' it messing up the weight distribution since you have a heavier engine in there? or is the difference minimal?

 

hows the ride compared to when you had the H&R's?

 

maxmods.net says there is a possibility that u could hit the bumpstops in the front due to the low drop... has this happened to u at all or have u ever heard of this happening??? b/c if not i'm gonna go w/ the s-techs, the drop looks awesome!

 

Nice drop. Did you measure the drop before and after between the H&R and S-Tien?

 

nice drop, doing mine this month, BUT SPLOODGE to the motor. LUCKY!

 

I have hit the bumpstops in the front on mine. Doesn't happen all the time and in fact, I find it's at predictable places on certain roads. I can avoid it by slowing down at that particular place in the road.

At the same token, I know someone with Eibachs who hits the bumpstops at the same places I do in town ...

 

funny u mentioned eabachs b/c that was my other choice... i think i'm gonna go w/ s-techs, i like the way the drop looks better

 

Sweet pics, that rosewood looke sexy, once you get the kit painted, it will look amazing.

I love to se 95/96ers with the Stillen Kit its growing on me more than the 97 kit.

 

yea hthe color is called brickyard and it is from the 350z. it is no longer made.
for the bump stops, i cut them like it says 1/3 to 1/2 and havent hit them yet. is is very simple to do. if you want a bigger drop, go for s-techs. they are not stiff at all to me even with illuminas on setting #5.

i have pics of before and after drop. i could post those also.

 

what do you mean by hitting bumpstops? sorry

 

More information is needed to know if they bottom out a lot due to their softer spring rate and low drop. thats what the review on maxmods.net said... just seeing if anyone had such problems thats all

 

you need to cut them to get more suspension travel. if you dont, you will hit the bump stops because the suspension has no more room to travel. that is what they are for. a good amount to cut is 1/3 to 1/2. i cut mine 1/2 and didnt bottom out yet.

 

hm... i'm still confused, u mean bump stops like the ones on the road? =(

 

Bumpstops are little peaces of rubber that are wrapped around the top portion of the strut, so that when your run out of suspension travel (like hitting a HUGE bump in the road), instead of having the strut hit the metal strut mounts it hits the rubber portion at the top of the strut to absorb as much shock as possible..

i hope you understand now, cause thats the best explanation i think anyone will give you haha

 

nice drop...how low did u drop?

 

2.2 in front and 1.8 in the rear.

 

He's not up on the OT lingo.

 

niceeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

looks awesome man
