I have a 2009 Maxima SV with the Sport Package.

Just installed a Takeda Intake and I'm looking for your opinions on the best aftermarket parts for the different sections. Thank you in advance.

Lowering Springs - Looking for about a 1"-1.3" drop, but looking to keep as much of ride quality as possible. Heard H&R were good for this but the drop was usually more then advertised.

Slotted and Cross Drilled Rotors - No idea what is good. Looking for some advice on what are some good companies to look for. Not looking for racing brakes. Just good quality rotors and best type of pads to go with slotted and cross drilled.

Tuning Chip - Heard Bully Dog was a good brand. But I have no idea if it is worth the $500. Not looking to build a track car or anything. Just want some more power.

Thank you for all of your advice in advance.

 

The intake is good for sound, but you loose power.
Eibach springs. This will probably also require rear camber arms.
Drilled and slotted look better, but hurt performance and reduce brake life.
Chip tuning gives minimal gains, some have done it, but I can't comment on this one.

For actually increasing whp:
Motordyne or RacingLine Y-pipe will add roughly 10hp. Adding the rest of the exhaust may give 2 more.
Stillen Underdrive pulley. This doesn't add crank hp, but frees up power to the wheels, and 5-10 hp is a reasonable expectation.
The VAIS BOP (variable air intake system block off plates) decrease low end power, but add power up top.
Phenolic intake spacers: may reduce heat soak slightly and allow consistent hp.

For handling, you will want a rear sway bar.

 

Thanks for the info. Already installed the intake. Happy with the results.
