Turn off the caps lock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use Eibach pro kit springs, with Tokico Illumina struts, and have a Front strut tower brace and Cattman rear sway bar. That will solve most of the body roll problems.

Torque steer is something you'll have to live with. You can not get rid of it. It happens, partly because the axles are different length. Learn to live with that one.

is there any way i can decrease it. what mods do you have on your car

[Beancooker]

Without decreasing the torque, you can not really decrease the torque steer. You want to keep the torque, because that's your bottem end power.

My mods.... Eibach springs, Tokico Illumina struts, Generic FSTB, Cattman RSB, Cosmo racing intake, AEM dry-flow filter, Y-pipe, 2.5" piping all the way, Magnaflow high flow cat, Magnaflow XL performer muffler, TB (restrictor?) mod, drop resistor bypass switch, HID lights, mesh grille, NRG steering wheel, Hawk HPS brake pads, ATE blue brake fluid, a little bit of Louis Vuitton trim, and a few more I'm probably forgetting!

is it fast and do you take it to the track

[Beancooker]

Well, it's not slow, but the 01 and older Maxima has a smaller engine than the 02 and newer. Yes I take it to the track, and 15.407 is the best 1/4 mile I have pulled in it as of now. Hopefully she'll be on the bottle by summer.

I'd recommend using the 8.8 diff from a Mustang. They work really well. If traction is still an issue, you can weld the spider gears together for full time posi.

yea, you won't be able to get rid of the Torque steer. It just won't happen... MY car suffers from it and yours will too...

[A.Tech]

But these are FWD remember. And well Spider gears are in the differential... FWD just has it's transaxle and the differential can't be stopped/changed iirc unless he swapped a VLSD tranni in there for a max, but I am not sure how that works with Gen 5s If they have them already or if they are easy find as a gen 4 is, because most of the I30s had them.

That was Brian's dry sense of humor. He was being sarcastic.

do you really need to buy more struts tho i just wanna get rid of that gap in the front and make it even wit the back what springs should i go with those eibach or tein. and after a while does the car get lower after you break the springs in and who has the best prices. holla back

[Beancooker]

You do not have to buy new struts, but it is highly recommended. The springs will give you the look you are after, but the struts will help eliminate the body roll. Also, it is a fair amount of work to replace all 4 springs, easier to do the struts at the same time, since everything will be disassembled anyways. The springs may drop a little bit with age, but don't count on it. Mine are still at the same height. Best prices, I have to dig through me receipts... I'll let ya know when I find it.
