Lowering my maxima...
So iv talked to a mechanic i know pretty well and he wants to charge me 1200 dollars after shocks,,struts,,labor
bull shit..
Anyone know some place or any where i can go.. Im looking for a two inch drop.. nothing more.. It shud only cost me at the most 250-300 dollars for the springs and struts.. I dont know where he gets the 1200 dollars from
IMA TELL U STRAIGHT UP...GO TO MAXIMA.ORG, FIND YOUR STRUTS AND SPRINGS..U CAN BUY USED SPRINGS, ITS NOT GONA MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE ON SPRINGS..SINCE U GOTA 4TH GEN I RECOMMEND TEIN S-TECH SPRINGS..WITH THAT SIZE OF A DROP I WANA SAY ILLUMINAS, THEY RUN DECENT/HIGH PRICES..BUT U CAN GET EM OFF OF EBAY...ALL THATLL BE LEFT IS FINDING SOMEONE TO DROP IT FOR A DECENT/CHEAP PRICE. IM SURE SOMEBODY ON IA WILL LEND A HELPING HAND..I CANT CUZ IM GETTIN HELP W/ MY MAX THIS W/E.

yea..illuminas for my 5th gen ran $428 at best brand new..i bought mine for $350 w/ 1000miles on em
all together i spent $400 on my springs and struts..w00t:idb:
$1200.00 seems about right what a shop would charge for the parts+labor.
I would buy the parts yourself and Do it yourself! It's not too hard, can be done with simple hand tools, and save lots of $$$$$$$.
If you buy the parts I'll install it for you for 150...
do it yourself. I replaced teh struts on my Maxima awhile back ( its a 97 )

Whereas I do agree with you that the shop is HELLA pricey, I don't think $300 is a justified expectation of a full suspension set up that will yield a 2in drop. When you start talkin bout droppin your car more than an inch, those conventional struts get thrown out the window...so you can't look at KYBs or Tokico HPs or Monroes or anything like that. Your's lookin Koni 5-ways, KYB AGXs, Tokico Blue or Illumina, and those are all going to be $100 bucks or better! THEN, you've got the price of the springs on top of that. I'd say if you're getting everything brand new, look at spending $600 or so.

I found those... bout 120 bucks a pair... Think those would work?
Keep in mind that link is for only the rear struts.....it's for the whole set....
indeed...thats what i have sitting up in my closet, it should deal well w/ my 2" drop...get em..and find some s-techs...chk maxima.org first though
Yeah, and the rears are usually less expensive than the fronts.

Preciate it Sammich.. Trying to get in touch with him..
get the D2 coilovers for 900 off ebay. 2 inch shouldn't be a problem. Also, should just bolt right on in couple hours.
I say buy the parts and do it yourself. It wont take more than 3 hours. Get a buddy to help you.
And borrow a spring compressor too.
WELL MY BUDDY IS HELPING ME..BUT YEA
NO PROBLEM...NOW HURRY UP OR ILL NEG REP U LOL JK
If you didn't stay in country bunk ass SNELLVILLE, your Max would be dropped by now. Bet if you had a Chevy truck and wanted it lifted, you'd have it done cheap as hell by now. LOL
