Just did a few mods, have some feedback for you.

These are the mods I did:

Tokico Illuminas, Tein S-tech front/H&R rear-- I am not sure if this is good or bad yet, still trying to decide. The illuminas are far superior to the agx's I had before. Ride quality is more or less the same as before, however I did add SFC Stage 1, which probably helped with ride quality. The stance is perfect.

2k4 front calipers/zinc plated rotors/pbr pads. Total cost < $275 This is the must do mod for all maxima owners, especially if you are changing your brakes anyway. Bigger brakes don't really decrease emergency stopping distance, thats more a function of suspension/tires. However, brake feel, modulation, and fade resistance is far better. They look better under my 17X8 wheels as well.

Brembo blanks (rear) - no comment

ES engine mounts- If you have an uprated clutch like I do, this mod is worth it. I am using fidanza flywheel/act clutch. This used to chatter quite a bit, however the mounts greatly reduce the chattering. Shifts are smoother, however lifting the throttle in mid-high rpm you "feel" the engine more, but I like it. There is virtually no vibration at idle.

Stillen Y-pipe- My car sounds better, I have a stock exhaust and intake. More power in mid - upper range. I am not that interested in additional power, but exhaust sound a engine feel in terms of throttle response is very important, and I am happy with it.

Do you have a before/after ride comparison w/ the SFC's on either suspension combo, or did you just get the SFC's when you did changed your setup? Post wasn't clear as to when you put all the stuff on, but i'm as to how much your ride changed due to the SFC's versus the new suspension parts.
