Can you state how you liking these coilovers so far & how long you've had them on?

Also whats a good spring rates to go with for stockish ride?

Any flaws that you have experienced?

Thanks....this info will be taken into consideration since a bunch of Maxima owners are thinking of getting these coilovers....

9/7 springs, too harsh for crybabies, but I don't care.

I like them a lot, I've done I think 4 track days so far plus daily driving and they are holding up fine. Had them for a few months already.

umm... only thing I don't like was the rear height adjustability is kinda strange. it's seperatly height and preload adjustable until a certain point, then you have to lower the spring down to lower the ride height. Right now, I have it as low as it can go while still having a tiny bit of preload and it's about an inch too high for my taste. But I like slammed.

I have 7/5 springs with only one track event and a lot of daily driving. Its perfectly fine if for daily driving in my opinion, you wont be disappointed.

i have 9/7...i'm still trying to find the sweet spot for my dampening..right now i have my fronts set at 2 turns and my rears at 5 turns..out of the 6.5 and i'm still not rotating enough because the fronts are so damn stiff...if i had anything other than my azenis or r compounds rollin in the front i would be understeering everywhere.. i guess i have to play around w/ pre-loading the rears..it needs to be stiffer..but if ican't find it, a nice and thick adjustable sway bar will do the trick..i guess if anyone has any advice on pre-loading, give me some input on here..i'm sure everyone would like to hear about it as well...oh and i've had mine for about 4 days..hehe

my d2's make clunking sound..well at least 2 of them. :( Other than that, they're pretty good coilovers, I havent had a chance to drive that hard with them because of rubbing issues. I only wish the rear can be lowered more :(

the perches will loosen up a bit...the spring settles so therefore becomes a bit smaller and causes the perches to lose their grip on the spring...simply tighten the perches back down (a whopping 2 minute job...you dont even need to take yer wheel off)...the clunking noise described above also occurs when this happens...the spring begins to move a bit on the perches and upper mount which creates a small clunking noise...just tighten down your perches and you should be fine
