lowering will take some time to save for but i got a few cheaper mods to do. one is painting just the center (thick) colum of the grill to match the car on the stock grill. i don't like any of the after market ones....just not my style....well maybe the mesh.
actually something weird is going on.... the ride quality is ALOT better but over 60mph the steering wheel shakes and today after i had the tires balanced AGAIN and then did a alignment it still shakes a little....any advice??? the shake is lite but enough to **** me off....

Chances are you have a balancing problem or it's the wheels.
Did your wheels come with hubcentric adapters? This is often the problem with aftermarket wheels. Aftermarket wheels are "lugcentric" meaning they rely on the lugs to center the wheel. That's why I recommend hubcentric adapters. Recently, I bought 2009 Maxima wheels with RSA tires off a guy who put aftermarket wheels on his new 2009 maxima. His new aftermarket wheels shook at freeway speeds.
Again, they were smooth as hell on my car at any speed. The tires are true!
oh i know its not the tires, it might be those adapters you were talking about. the ones that came with the rims looked cheap and the shop told me the rims/tires are true and that the alignment was good so i don't know. anyone know where i can get those adapters/which ones are good?

im not into high performance for the max so i didn't need a "super" tire (that's why I have a 2004suzukiGSX-R 750) and the other main complaint i read on the reviews is about their horrible control in snow but i live in virginiabeach and it NEVER snows out here so im good with that.............oh yea did i mention that i got hooked up with a CHEAP PRICE?? <reason #1. thanks again coolmax05
