Hey guys, I was thinking of lowering my maxima b/c I know a guy that can help me out if I just get all the parts I need to do it. Just wondering if anyone else on here has done it and if they like it or not. I was also wondering if anyone had any pics of their lowered maxima?

Thanks!!

 

I think darn near all of us have! You'd get a shorter list to ask who hasn't. BTW, get a set of Eibach's and Tokico's and you're done. Cheers!

 

i'm pretty sure a good majority of the guys here have lowered their max and are darn happy with it.

 

just browse through the past week's posts...this has been a HOT topic lately..

 

"The lower I go.. the more she likes it!"

 

thanks for the pic nevin...reminded me of the emblems i have out in the garage

 

What are you waiting for?? Put those badboys on! lol

 

hehe...ive let the mods accumulate again.... (just like the springs, struts, rotors, pads etc.)

i now have a high flow cat, 2k muffler, a shop has bent my b-pipe already, the emblems , and i picked up the upper intake manifold on sunday...(wohoo!) you get on AIM anymore or what?

 

That reminds me of how I was back when I had the old max. I used to order parts like crazy and then keep em sitting at the shop collecting dust. And then I would install them all at once. Well I think your collection of mods has gotten big enough.. it's time to install them. Then you can go with me to Atco and test your max out. I still have AIM (Most of the time I use AOHELL.. SN: SkyMaxSE).. I'm usually on late at night. Sometimes I avoid using AIM when Maximamike is on... he usually harrasses me. lol j/k

 

You *****! You better not come on tonight! Ahahahaha..

 

i think im getting everything on late this week and then going to etown instead...i just don't like atco but if you wanna meet up and go one night im down...the manifold isn't gonna be finished until MAXUS though....

 

Nevin you better get online before I go Dara on your ***! Ahahahahaha! F*u*c*k*i*n left field comments!

; )

 

Nevin thats not good...you really better get online...you don't want mikey to go Dara on your ***

 

Doh!! I didn't think you would read this thread.
What are you going to do if I come on tonight?? nothin.. That's what I thought punk! lol..

 

thems fightin words

 

just cut like 3 coils off your stock springs. you'll save about $200 in new springs, and around $100 for the install.

 

Don't worry about the manifold.. it doesn't give you any power anyway (unless you have boost). I'm not sure what I'm doing this week or next week. If you want to go to Etown, that's fine with me.. Atco is closer to me & you so that's why I suggested it. Etown is a better track though. Or if you want, you can come over to Maple Grove Raceway on a grudge night. They don't require a helmet. It doesn't matter to me where we go.

 

the manifold is a "show" thing which is why i want it done b4 MAXUS...when i get the exhaust actually put on we'll talk about when a good time to go would be and where...i don't really care which track either...atco just leaves a bad taste in my mouth everytime i go...

 

I know it's a show thing.. lol. I meant don't worry about it for the track.

 

i know...i think what i was trying to say came out wrong...i meant for me...eh oh well...

 

Here's my lowered '94 Maxima GXE.

 

hehehe buy a VE!!!!! (just kidding) hey man, i'd pull those chrome wheel well thingies, but other than that, pretty tight max.

 

Lowering is a must!

 

ok then, where's the best place to get springs? also, what kind of springs would you guys reccomend?

 

That's classic. Hilarious.

 

Hmm.. let's see, Nitrous or Eibach springs.. I chose the nitrous.. I honestly don't care how low the car is as long as it's fast..

 

I lowered the Max with Tokicos/Eibachs and am very happy. Also added FSTB. Looks good and handles better than a 10 year old car has a right to! I can handle as well as or better than my friend's 2000 Jetta 1.8T.

 

Ewww... Don't cut the stock springs. Been there done that. Handling & Comfort is a joke. You feel every slight bump on the road. Anytime you want to corner hard, the rear end breaks lose and you start to fish-tail. If your going to cut springs, do it to aftermarket springs that have a strong spring rate such as Sprint springs.

 

how much should it be lowered?

 

Atleast an inch drop. I think the average is 1.5" drop.

 

if you want the best possible price on lowering springs, e-mail kris at zr motorsport. kcampos42@aol.com

tell if the link works guys.

 

what springs do you have on your max? it looks good, although it needs a washing.

 

The caption for your photo is right on target. Dirty. You bet. Clean that puppy up and improve your mpg.

 

I have the eibach/tokico combo with ST bars.

No one ever shows how good the maxima looks even when its dirty. So I'll be the first.
