Looks a million times better. The Murano wheels look really good on a white max. Just get you some red/clear tails, and you will be set.

Looks tidy. I'm using the same shock/spring combo.

Which bumpstops did you use?

Hey first off I have the same color car and I got the same wheels as your 97 had on it. I went with the stock size tire that came on those wheels and I was just curious but what size tire are you curentally running. And how's the ride on your setup I just got the pro ki and was tryin to figure out what strut to go with

the tires, not sure what i was running on the 17s, prolly like a 225/40 or something of that nature. the factory ones will prolly be a lil big for a lowered car. the ride is great. koni is the best shock/strut they make for our car. but dont expect it to ride luxury. this is sport suspension and has aggressive handling. the exact opposite of luxury

stock ride height is so disgusting. Definite improvement! Do you get that good feeling just walking up to your car and seeing it lowered (I do lol)? Keep it up and keep it clean!
