Solved my front spring/strut conundrum
Solved my front spring/strut conundrum
I have a 2014 max SV w/std suspension.
I have, already, put kyb sport shocks on the rear.
The front is still sprung too soft. The dampening is ok, but the springs too wimpy.
I just bought a pair of low mileage 2014 maxima "sport" package take offs from a recycler.
I decided not to drop the ride height, to maintain clearance in snow, etc conditions.
Once I saw that there was a VG selection of low mileage brake offs on Ebay, I knew what I wanted.
They'll be here in less than a week.
A simple installation & alignment. Then, hopefully, taunter high speed handling.
The DWS-06'S & sport KYB's each made a world of difference. I expect this will too.

Today, I validated the different spring codes on the "sport" package used struts that I bought to put on my sv. I had to replace my front brake pads. I took note of the color coding on my still installed original struts(green stripe). Checking the used oem "sport" struts, they are coded with purple stripes.
Just a little confirmation, for me, that I actually got struts different than my standard units.
Both sets are from 2014 maxim's. The set that I bought is off a dismantled "sport" package equipped vehicle.
