Just installed KYB AGX and Sprint Drop Springs

It's a totally different car. I also threw on some 2k maxima rims. 225 45 17. The car handles like its on rails and I scrape on everything. You know those little bumps at the gas stations where they fill the tanks? Yeah scraped on those. I also got high centered on a speed bump. Had to rock myself till my front tires touched the ground. I do have them on the firmest setting and the ride is a bit rough. the girlfriend doesn't like it but i love the feeling of every single crack and depression in the road.

MAXES5SPD sold it to me becuase he was parting out his 4th gen. He wasn't sure they were sprints because he bought the car with them on it. They are blue in color though. I couldn't be any happier with the results.

Glad you like them, buddy. I don't think I would ever feel comfortable with my car constantly scraping every bump that I went over.

I've got brand new axles. I have heard that it does change the geometry of the front suspension. So i'll make sure to watch them carefully. MAXES5SPD did put a camber kit on it for me.


As with the scraping. The company that put my exhuast on did not put line up the pipes correctly so the pipe hangs down about an inch below the bottom of my car and thats the cause of all the scraping. I have no idea how I got high centered on that speed bump. It might have got caught on my y-pipe. It is not my daily driver. I just bought an 08 Civic SI. I only drive the Infiniti on cruise nights and times when i actually wanna have some torque. haha.

The handling is simply amazing. The car is extremley light at 2800 pounds and i raced it one night with my buddy driving my infiniti and it beat my infiniti. It has basically no understeer kinda weird for a front wheel drive car. Do some research on it and i was purley happy with the car. ALso you can't beat 38 mpg
