it's not QUITE the same, but there's quite a few guys who've put H&R's on their Maximas recently.

www.maxima.org

They seem to be a bit more plush than sporty, and the drop is not particularly even with the front being higher than the rear.


NOt a great comparo -- but thought I'd try.

I dont think it is the same camparo. The Maxima looks wise does not drop enough in the front. Not all h&r are the same on all cars. Check this one with hr




I can't find a solid close side view to see if it is an even drop:

H&R

I have an 2003.5 MT sedan. I put the H&R springs right before winter and I've been riding on them for about 4mths. I can tell you that they are great. I can't wait to put my summer tires back on and really test out the ride. The drop was just right around 1". They resulted in less body role and better cornering but the ride is somewhat stiffer. I personally love it. Hope this helps.

Sport Spring 3.5L, V6 1.3fr 1.2rr part# 53036

Thanks! Did you keep your stock struts on? Did you cut the bump stops at all? Does there seem to be more wheel gap in the front than the back? ie. the backend a little lower than the front?

I did keep the stock struts on. There was also no cutting involved. Pretty much take out the old and put in the new. As for the wheel gap difference, I know that before I put on the springs it was a little uneven (or at least it seemed that way to me) but now with the H&R springs it seems to be fine.
As for the listed drop, I'm assuming that with time the springs will settle.
