...to MrGone's house and back.

It was the first time I had driven the Maxima more than 20 miles since last fall when I got it back from Jeff.

Here is what we did:


BEFORE


AFTER


Put on some Eibachs/Tokicos. Finally ditched the 4x4 look. I still have the stock rims and tires on, since I haven't purchased new tires for my gunmetal rims yet.

On a side note, I drove almost 500 miles total, most of it going 75-85 and through two mountain passes (Satus Pass = 3200 ft, Snoqualmie Pass = 3100 ft, while my house and MrGone's house are both well below 1k feet, I am sure). I manged to get 28.6 mpg, so I am very happy with that.

 

pretty cool. how would you describe the feel now with the intrax/tokicos? i went to tokicos and intrax and the bumps are a little more harsh but not horrible.

 

I love how you went from the tape measure to the hand.


hehehehe all the Maxima's were on jack stands. I need to clean my Greddy

 

3 in the pink, 1 in the stink! haha. I was busy all day. Had to clean house for family, put wheels/tires on, etc..

 

They are Eibach, not Intrax.

It handles much better. It's a little stiffer than stock, but I drove 3.5 hours home and it wasn't uncomfortable.

MrGone, the tape measure pics didn't turn out as good. Plus, I didn't have time to photoshop them (zoom in and crop) so the numbers were visible.

Jeff, that's just sick

 

yeah i meant eibach lol brain fart. thats cool they arent too bad.

 

do you by and chance have any complete side profile shots of the car with the eibachs on?

 

I haven't taken any yet.

If you look in the "Member Rides" section, MrGone posted a pic of his car with the stock rims and tires with the exact same springs and struts I just put on mine.
