Hey. Does anyone have pics of a prokit install on a Max sport with stock 19" wheels? I'm curious how much wheel gap it gets rid of.

 

 

Wow. That looks sick.

 

Just got mine installed today, but it flooding outside and I'm installing wheel spacers tomorrow. Will post pics tomorrow!

 

I would love to see the pics. Thinking about doing a pro kit on my 2013 sport.

 

I might be pushing my luck but does anyone have a pic of a white sport with stock 19" wheels with the pro kit?

 

Thanks man, happy with the progress but not satisfied until it's done and there's still a long way to go!! I've only had the car for 3 months and have easily put $3K+ into it so far but I gotta pump the brakes a lil' bit here with the big day and honeymoon coming up in a few months!

Definitely satisfied with the Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs, and, as I'm sure you've read, if you end up doing that mod it is strongly recommended that you purchase the Racingline RSB along with the front and rear end links from them as well; you'll be glad you did and will most certainly feel the difference.

Good luck!

 

The pro kit gave me a 1 finger gap between tire and fender.

 

 

Sorry I forgot to mention that this is Eibach Pro Kits and 25mm spacers in the back and 20mm in the front.

 

Is that a Roush I see hiding in the garage?

 

Looks great man!

Where'd you buy the springs? Ebay has them for over $300

are you able to get the lugs on tightly with the spacer?

Just making sure they won't cause the lugs to wobble off

 

RAcing line had them for $240 last time I checked

 

That is! It's a good friend of mines and it's a Stage 2 I believe.

 

I got mine here for $240:

and yes I was able to get the lugs back on tightly with no problems at all!

 

Your car looks great, pimpin' and thanks for your feedback

Quick question for ya: did you add the spacers before or after the alignment? Mine is all green on the alignment sheet now with eibachs and 370 rear camber kit & toe bolt but no spacers

I'm just curious if I can throw spacers on there and be good to go or if I'd have to get it aligned again -- I've tried to read up feedback about this and it ended up being some dudes cackling back and forth like a couple of broads arguing over who's right so I figured I'd ask you

Also do you have a good recco for who you used? I've also read that some spacer manufacturers can be cheap with it therefore putting the driver and the vehicle at risk so obviously would want none of that

 

Clean. Love the look. Crimson Black with those rims look sweet too.

Closer view of the clearance too if needed.

Just saw this...thanks brother! I didn't want a "murdered out" look since I feel like that can take some of the class away from the ride but I like the smoked!

 

No problem!

They actually recommended that I wait a week for the springs to settle and THEN get an alignment, so that's what I'm going to do. I wouldn't think adding the spacers after would throw the alignment off since it's a horizontal adjustment and not vertical but please double check that! As far as a recommendation goes...do you mean for the install or the spacers themselves? Ichiba is great from what I've read/seen and I wouldn't think Eibach would make a bad spacer either!

 

Thanks man. Yeah I did the same thing, got it aligned a couple weeks after so springs could settle but as of now I don't have any spacers and was just curious if I can throw em on there and go about my business or if another alignment is necessary.

Oh well, at least I know per your feedback that the original lugs worked for you and you didn't need to get different ones

 

 

Sexy. Nice job with the tails there and the beach in the background doesn't hurt either!! Especially after this winter

 

Stillen.com has free shipping, that's where I bought mine from!

 

I'm purchasing the Eibachs and want to know what a shop would charge to put them on so when I go to get them installed, I know what to expect or when to walk away! Any input or info would be greatly appreciated! I have a '14 Sport with the 19" gunmetal rims, I'm guessing 25mm on rear and 20 mm on front for spacers... Any recommendations on what brand spacers to get as well as any links? Thanks in advance for any info!

 

The price of a spring installation will depend on the area and the shop. I would guess anywhere from $150-300 would be a good deal. Then again, im not a shop. I installed the springs and spacers myself. I also wrote a DIY on a spring installation. Check out the sticky section. I used 20F/25R spacers. I think you could squeeze on 25F/30R and be ok. That would be for the maximum amount of flushness to the fender. Just depends on how much you want the wheel to stick out. I hope this helps.

 

Paid $210 for installation

*whistle whistle* if I do say so myself

 

Lookin good!
Some day-shots so we can guess on the color, Gray or Anthracite maybe?

 

The metallic slate color is kinda funny in the sense that it looks different at different times of the day with the light being shone upon it, in or out of the shade, etc etc but I really love how it looks at night

sounds crazy but I'm telling you


early am


afternoon after a wash in the shade

 

gotta black out those exhaust tips!!!!

 

Dudemaine, car looks awesome

 

Thanks Tommy

 

Dudemaine, did you have your door handles painted, dipped, or wrapped? Same with the window/trunk trim.

Car looks great!

 

Thanks man, appreciate it

Window trim vinyl wrapped
Door handles dipped
Trunk logo & trunk chrome strip dipped

Front grille taken off, taped off the grille 'fins' and sanded down outer chrome border, prepped then painted gloss black. Same with Nissan emblem on front grille - popped it out, sanded prepped and painted gloss black

Gonna try and dip the exhaust tips this weekend, weather and time permitting. Was surprised to see that plasti dip can hold up to, like, 200 degree temps I believe. I don't believe the tips get that hot at all

 

if the gas cap is not hitting the tires, then it's not low enough.

 

Ideal, but not realistic for me; kinda like going below 35% tint. Personally, I'd love to do 20% all around but don't feel like dealing with getting pulled over and the b.s. and possible tickets and $$$. For me, the risk outweighs the benefit and it is just not worth it.

As for the lowering part, I know people say they have to deal with terrible pot holes, etc. and believe me when I tell you: I am one of those people. I maneuver around them and know where they are on my daily commutes and things like that, but can confidently say that the risk far outweighs the benefit here also. While I'm at it, speed bumps around here are no joke either. I know of 4 speed bumps within .1 mi of my work place right off the top of my head.

I'm not hating on those that do; I think it looks great and thumbs-up for those who do it, but I "ain't about dat lyfe" when it comes to that and am completely satisfied with the drop that the eibach pro-kit lowering springs provides, so it is what it is.

 

Agree^ I could see doing it if the max wasn't my daily driver. But then again I probably wouldn't own one if I couldn't drive it every day.

 

O really like the stock wheels look, lowered and plasti dipped. Seems like a very nice alternative to buying another set of wheels and tires. However, looking past the wheels, I can't get past the ugly silver looking calipers of our cars. So I'm starting to think about painting them yellow. But I wanted to ask, should I paint them or get some kind of covers? I think I've seen covers you just install over them, what does everybody else think?

 

^^^ I'd go with paint. bought a set of red mgp caliper covers I had on for a couple months that got mixed reviews; kinda like a redhead it was either hit or miss. Just decided to paint em when drilled/slotted rotors & ceramic pads were installed anyway, so

but, to each their own
