slight lowering. it's their springs too. I believe 1.25" all the way around. could be lower, but for $150 for these BNIB, I'm not complaining. lol

I used to run Illuminas with Tokico springs, no complaints about that setup at all.

Where the hell did you get that for only $150? When I paid $387 two years ago I thought I was getting a bargain. It drops 1.25" in the front and 1" in the rear.

a friend of mine's dad had a 97 max, and right after he bought the set up, we had a nasty hail storm(storm was a couple years ago, I think. any phoenix members can correct me if I'm wrong) and it turned his max into a golf ball on wheels. so he sold the car, and told his son, that's in the car scene, to just get rid of them.

in a nutshell, he gave his son the set up for free, and the son, my friend, sold it to me for $150. lol

maxxxdout.....thats not your sig pic is it? Gotta resize if it is.

Anyways, thats a steal and a half lol it would still be a good deal for the set-up for just 1 corner.

Americaner, if you see this, get the ground control system. You wont regret having some adjustability

I'd only run Ground controls with a set of shortened Konis.

damn good deal for sure! you could even pay for installation and it might still be less than a new set!! i was gonna buy this set new but 1.25" is not enough

i just bought a set of the illuminas and s-techs (2.2f 1.8r) from maxfever1987 barely used for $550, should be picking it up at the border in a week! check his for sale threads, he's got part outs from nice maximas every couple of weeks/months. he's truly the maxima parts guy !

Yeah. I bought this for a car that I really don't want to keep. Not that I don't love my car, it just has too many problems and I don't have the time to fix it but this will be one problem eliminated

Gotta' start somewhere. This is not a bad way to begin. You can always change it up, but at 150 it would noob to pass it up.
