I have a 98 se max i wanna drop it either 1.8" all around or 2" all around. i like the car to be even, NOT like H-Tech's 1.8F and 1.6R. So for that what brand of springs would be good? and the most reasonable price?? thanks alot

 

Progress drops pretty even.

 

If you think about it, I'm sure your front end sits higher than the rear, especially if you have amp/subs back there. So a 1.8/1.6 F/R drop should make the wheel gaps nearly even.

 

If you want to go that low and stay even, buy coilovers. You will be better of in the long run, better ride and handling.

 

Better "ride?" Control/handling yes, but better ride? Do you mean that as a more comfortable ride? Because if so then i'd have to disagree with you on that one considering that coilovers are MUCH stiffer than just a combo of springs/shocks/struts.

 

get coilovers and u will get an even drop and a awesome ride.

 

They may be stiffer but definitely more comfortable than a slammed spring/strut combo that bottoms out or hits the bump stops due to sacrified suspension travel with a shorter spring

 

if u want 2 be low go wit tein s techs, that iz were itz @ im tryna tell u i got them on my 98 max and they sit even front 2 back....even when people n da car it sit like that.....those that don't no they think I got coilovers

 

^^^Please write in English when posting on this forum^^^^
enough with all the "z"'s

now back to the conversation......S techs are terrible "for looks only" springs. Probably the biggest suspension downgrade you could possibly do to your maxima in terms of handling and ride. Your control arm angles will be screwed. Your ride quality will be garbage. The spring rates are too low for such a short spring. Really, of the 15 or so springs (non-coilover) out there for the maxima, S-techs would be my last choice. If the plan is to go lower than 1.5", get coilovers and expect bump steer.

 

Wuts wrong with you? They dont talk like that in Lanham.

 

Holy friggin gheyness.

Sombody ban this fukk

 

And THIS is America's youth, people. I'm all for mass neutering if it stops crap like this. I didn't think the public school system was all THAT bad until now. I'm making a new personal rule: I'm not hiring anyone born after 1983.

I know you're going to think I'm an old fart, but dude, seriously, please go get yourself spayed now before you have a chance to ruin future generations.











This guys is proof that stupid people breed more.

 

 

selling brand new progress springs if you're going the strut/spring route

hey, if we're gonna start flaming in this thread, might as well use it for a shameless plug....

 

you must have missed the part where nobody from Charm City is allowed to post in here

 

translation: Hi. I am trying to become an e-thug but either way around it I will end up being reemed but who cares because I love it without the lube. Any ways you should get coilovers and when I am ganged in your back seat you will never notice me moving out of excitement. P.S. I forgot that with coilovers they are adjustable so it doesn't matter how they sit b/c I can adjust them.

 

u want low get air ride or coilovers....over all u are going to sacrafice travel, ride and front end parts if u use S-techs or Sprints

 

I say just take the springs out completely and ride "struts-only" for the ultimate drop, FO SHIZZLE!

 

oMg yO. I jUsT cAmE iN tO sAy tEiNs aRe mAd tIgHt yO . Muh cAr hAd dEm.

 

uh, ok there capitan

 

sarcasm > you.

 

why you being sarcastic with me? you don't know me

hahaha, j/k man

 

so appropriate.

Progress springs are a nice even ~1.7" drop.

 

if you want to go that low, coilovers or nothing...irish summed it up very nicely, but be advised that even if you get coilovers, lowering it that much will actually have adverse affects on handling...

 

has anybody tried tanabe DF210? f1.6/2.2r, i had Sprints but didnt like them

 

You should figure out how stiff you want your springs. If you want the control, but want a smooth ride, go with Tein.

 

Rated: Worthless n00b first post.

"Tein"....are you referring to Tein H-tech, Teain S-tech, Tein basics, Tein EFDC, etc? They all have different ride, different drop, and different handling characteristics. You can't make a blanket statement "go with Tein."

 

If you would just read the god damned stickies and past threads it would be a miracle.

SUSPENSION TRAVEL AND GEOMETRY!!!!!!

 

WHAT IZ DA STICKIEZ???

 

our chassis handle best will no more than 1.5" of drop....

 

we need ball joint extenders and bump kits!

 

Well stated!

 

this thread is teh funniness....

 

irish what would you recommend for springs? I am thinking eibach but id like to hear some knowledagble replies. I personally like the look of the eibach drop better, im not into that slammed look. Also what struts would you pair with them.

I read hte stickies, but i thought id ask because i know you had the eibachs.

 

I can't believe people actually type with z's as s's..unbelievable.

 

Well i totally forgot about this thread i started about 7months ago.. but for future reference...

I was lookin on "ebay" iknow.. and i saw this 2" drop all around by "zenn" i also know..lol There not really popular so. i decided to give it a shot, it was only 100 dollars. so i was Worth a shot.. On stock struts...

I was totally SHOCKED they road AWESOME ride is lil stiffer than stock but comfortable... and
I've been riding on those springs for about 5 months.. almost 10K (i drive alot)...

But i know soon prolly by Next summer ima have to replace my struts, but i'm thinkin about getin coilovers by then so...

 

Lets see some pics.

 

linear or progressive? rates?

 

Heres some of the latest pics....

 

i ordered da zenn springs, and after being skeptical for the longest time..ur pictures of the zenn on ur max is such a relief with ur post...thank u bro..lol...i cant wait 2 get them and put em on =D
