Hey,

I have KYB GR-2 struts on my max. I wanna get it lowered. I have a friend thats is gonna install them for $150. I just need to get the springs. Anyone know a good site to buy them and wat brand I would need to get so that my struts dont get to much wear. I have 93 GXE

Thanks

 

Well if you don't want your struts wearing out... stock springs. But Eibach 1.2" would be the next choice if you want to lower. www.shox.com has some decent prices. I can't remember if internetautomar sells them or not

 

www.tirerack.com

 

www.internetautomart.com he has a good selection of what you need, and you get to support your fellow .org member.

 

i got my intrax from summit racing dot com for 202 shipped

He has them the cheapest. Which should I buy? will the $179 intrax work with my kyb's pretty well?

 

That's a friend? 3 hours of labor would put that at 50 bucks an hour. Nice rip. Find a cheaper friend and you'll have more money for mods.

 

I wouldnt go puttin lowering springs on you car with shocks that are not made for it. If your shocks are made for stock ride height then putting lowering springs with them will wear them out prematurely.

 

Well the shops wanted 300 for the install on them. So 150 I think is fair. So these will screw my struts up? How long will they last? I had them for 2 yrs now still nice firm ride

 

10-15 minutes....tops.

 

No they wont screw your struts up, that guy just doesnt know what he is talking about. The intrax will be harder on your KYBs because it is a decent drop, but a fair amount of people run that set up and have no problems with it.

 

Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set Front and Rear fitment
In Stock 1 $246.00 $246.00


Tirerack has them for that price with 15.65 for 2 day shipping.

Would this be good?

 

i just checked internetautomarts site and his price was 238 shipped via ups/fedex ground.

www.internetautomart.com hes the parts bish.

 

well I see. Is Suspension Techniques: 1.5" drop or Eibach Pro-kit: 1.2" drop Better? The price is like 40 dollars diffrence

 

lol what do you mean better? lower, yes, better not really, the eibach is supposed to be best performance.

 

They way i looked at it was that i wasnt going to be doing anything like super crazy with my car, maybe a few auto-x races and such so i went for something low and inexpensive. I personally didnt see a need for really expensive springs. I bought sprint springs and they are doing really good.

 

The Eibachs don't offer the lowest drop, but if you want the best performance bang -- go with the Eibachs. I have them on GR2's and they are great.
(old pic before drop - don't let the gap mislead you heh heh)

 

A fellow org member wants to sell me some Sprint springs for 80 plus shipping. There 9450 Maxima 89-94 2.00/2.00 289 168.00. But there 2 inch drop is that to much? Plus wat will happen to the kyb's under this? Will i be riding on the ground? Anyone possable have a pic of a max with 2 in drop?

 

I'll throw my vote for the eibachs too- had them on for about a year now and they really eat up the twisties around here. Strut wear shouldn't be much of a problem, as long as you don't bottom the springs out too much.

 

i just lowerd my front with sprints and i love them! It gives it a nice look, but not too ricey, i havent done the back yet so i have that american muscle look right now till i can get the rear strut part i need. But i will try and take pictures tomorrow for you

 

Both the KYBs and Tokicos have been known to blow seals with just the eibach set. And it only gets worse with the lower springs you get. So I hope you have your receipt for the struts.

 

Yep, and i still have a set of sprints lying around. Let me know if you still want them or not?
