Frame notch completed
This is with the tire sitting on Rear bumper tab and the inside of the rear door so anything thinner than 245 should solve that shooting for 225/35 but well see where it goes.

Not for nothing but i hate seeing lowered cars with mangled rear fenders. It takes away from the look. You should fix them.

My 34k arrived yesterday. Put everything on in the same day, just have to cut a few things in the wheel well.

Notched the bottom mount to add more camber

Image


I had to redrill the top hat holes on the passeger side again thats why it sat so high on this side in the past, but i got them on and maxed the camber. These wheels are 20x10.5-11 after spacers.

Ill be sure to keep updated

No once you take the wheel off follow the shock up and youll see they left some room for a ratchet to get up there. 18mm if im not mistaken. The bolt that holds it on you wont have to worry about its stationary and wont move when you try to turn it. My advice, spray pb blaster on the back of the bolt and drive around for 30 mins or so and let it work in and itll come right loose

just got a 2012 rouge sv last week. found your thread through google and it gave me that tingle in my loins, haha. anyways I came from a background of building semi vip and drift cars. so in that and seeing yours makes me excited to start.
few questions first. you stated before that using 09 maxima oem suspension can lower the rouge by couple inches and that you had maxima front coilovers with modification to the top hat locations on the frame. does this mean I can use the airrex air suspension kit meant for the 09 maxima and bolt it up with only modification being the front top hats?

Glad I gave you the feeling lol and Im sure you can for the rear the Veloster suspension has been the best so far so id really reccomend it. I look forward to seeing your car!!!

thanks for the response. so any 7th gen maxima will work correct? it does not have to be just the year 09 correct? I am going to be investing into the airrex 7th gen maxima air ride. front and back completely 7th gen maxima. also did the norm led upgrades inside and sourcing some puddle lights that I like. been eyeing out my local CL for wheels..love the fact that its 5x114. just a matter if I want more of a vip dished look or a crabby look.

also I found a set of h n r drop springs for a 7th gen maxima for sale locally for $50. will this be able to slide over my oem struts in the mean time or did I need the maxima struts also. if that is the case then I'm going to pass on the simple drop for the time being. thank you

Ordered up some springs for the rear. 650lb 9 inch length. Measured my current springs and they're sitting just over 7 inch with no load. I figure the 9 inch will compress to approx 7 inch, which is where id like them to sit compressed. Here's hoping lol

Check your rims for leaks and the valve core itself. Had a few customers come in with the same issues.
