Ok So take a look at my max....pretty stock huh?

ok so its sitting very high as you can see....

during the summer i will install the stillen lip kit... but will that along wit bigger rims (say 18's) make the car look normal/lower.. or am i going to need to lower it...

really appreciate any help 16 yrs old and im in love with my max!

 

distance from the wheel well to the tire will be the same so it will still look high

lower it for performance anyways

but get a slightly lower drop on the front than the back to get rid of that famous max sag

depending on how many miles you got I would just wait till your whole suspension needs replacing anyways, saves money that way

 

have fun with your car man.

 

Itll look like a 4x4 from the ground to the bottom of the car. I lowered my car before getting rims. I loved every minute of it being lowered with no rims. Youll be surprised how good our cars look with the stock 16" SE rims on there.

 

 

^With Stock Suspension on 17's

 

thks jl for nice pic of jacking..... very uncalled for my part sorry KyleFort32 you got me Hammy LOL you like the skymarshall of .org threads

 

 

Hey Kyle....you will need to drop it trust me. With the 18s....the wheel gap will be huge and it will look like this:

 

edit:

just incase it goes out again

 

Lol, Um... Thanks?

 

your 16 and can afford a 99 max, wheels, lip kit, and lowering springs? crap your loaded. I have been working 2 jobs all year for 2 years and still would never be able to afford all that stuff.

well good luck just make sure you really think a lot about what you want to spend your money on. dont be a impulse buyer that always sucks.

to answer your question without the lip kit your wouldnt look to bad with the 18s but with the kit it would look like total crap.

 

wow hammy ya car looks good even without a drop

 

^You serious? I thought it looked hideous, Now with a drop, I feel in love again.

Check out Member Rides, I uploaded the drop pics.

 

hey guys...im also 16 with a 1995 Nissan Maxima SE and i dont know wich springs to get.....i already got tokico blues installed....wat do you guys think is good?

 

Really? Didn't you see I called someone out on thread jacking and then you come in here AND DO THE SAME THING?

 

Just in case you wanted get an idea of what the car looks like lowered with 18's.

Running H&R's. Back when Ian's owned this car it's has Sprints and B&G's. The H&R's have the best ride I think, with a moderate lower. Sprints are just way too harsh, and B&G's seem to sag really easy in the back.

 

so true.


anyways get red/clears for your red maxima.

also just get springs/struts before rims and your lip kit.

or get them all at once.

what kind of rims you thinking of getting for the red?

also a lot of people on the .org will denounce the Tein S-tech, but in my opinion they look really good. 2.2'' drop in the front, which is slightly lower than the 1.8" in the back. It looks better than H&R IMO

 

ive been working for a while now and have money saved....also sell t shirts at school $$$$$$$$$$$

lol but ne ways yea what do i need to drop it everyone tells me its gonna be alot for a decent ride?

 

stock 16 5spokes + drop = win

 

+1 for drop on stock SEs

 

ya i love the s.tech look but ive been hitting the bump stops alot, had a ton of snow this year and the roads are bad. Just the front end, i want to get more strut travel but dont know if its possible in the front.

 

I vote for H-techs teins for nyc tri-state pothole and horrible roads...also I like the raked stance especially for rear when you have passengers and junk in the trunk

jl

 

Big rims and no drop = donk

 

Really? That is the most stupidest thing I've seen in my life and trust me I live in Ohio I've seen ALOT of stupid ****.

Why the Simpsons though?

 

what your car would look like lowered.

 

i have a similar prob. i have 98 maxi she rides great but its all stock except 4 da radio and seats. im in search of some suggestions of how 2 make it look good, i mean this is my 1st car that i got about 6 months ago and im 16 so i wana make it look good lol. any advise?

 

Yes: performance > looks

 

I went the opposite route though.

 

I say get yourself an Exhaust, you wanna sound good too. thats what i'm working on. something about our VQ's, they always produce a good deep throaty sound with something back there

 

and with the red/clears even though they look good. thats always the 1st thing everybody gets!! the bumpers too. i guess thats just how it is. i'd wait for a drop or lip or something. them put those on
