*Pictures* This is how a maxima should sit...
Had a fun today messing with my new JICs.. pretty insane adjustability on these badboys, I can't wait to get an alignment and wait for everything to settle out.
I had decided before I bought these that I would slam the hellll out of these and see how good they were, and I took them to the limits of my car, that is for sure. Ran into an issue of not being able to lower the front as much as I wanted because we couldn't get the stock jack out and realized that the downpipe was laying on the ground. Needless to say these get LOW, and none of this is camera tricks or photoshopping.
This would be the front as low as the car would go before the stock jack was stuck and the downpipe hit.. I think I could have easily gone about 2" lower.
This is the rear:
Couldn't move the car because it was on the jack and on the piping, this is the best full on shot I could get:
Another:
And then this was just fun, when we raised the front back up I noticed this:

Moving on to the realistic adjusting.. I used a flashlight as a reference point as to where the car was on ground controls and koni's, at their lowest setting.. lol compared to my daily driving height on jics:
Before:
After:
This would be my daily driving height..
From the rear.. I staggered the car on purpose, to account for the larger front end, as compared to the rear:
I like to call this picture "having bugs in my teeth"...

Thanks for all of the compliments..
Seems the car may be too low, i ran over a dead squirrel and when i looked in the rear view mirror the squirrel was no longer there and then about 10 seconds later it fell out the back of my car. Aside from the sheer grossness the constant scraping is getting on my nerves already and somehow i managed to knock off 3 turbo feed pipe flange nuts!!
Time to raise it up a WEEE bit.. making turns without rubbing noises is also a plus.
And I will not be at nopi this year.
I had tint on the car awhile back, but took it off.
Thanks again, if nothing else these things ride insanely nice.

the first time Jason came to my store in jersey city, nj the first thing he asked me was how do you drive around here without bending your wheels.
i tell everyone it's like driving on the moon.
