Does anyone have pictures of a '95 or '96 max with TEIN S-Tech lowering springs on it. I want to see how it looks cause thats what I think I going to buy for mine.

Thanks.

Not on-hand, but you should know that some people are experiencing front-end problems(cv joints, etc.) as a result of the extreme drop. I'd also worry about the small amount of suspension travel when going that low. Just a thought:)

I didn't know it would go that low. If that's too low than how about the H-Techs? Does anybody have a picture of those on their car?

I have nothing but good experiences with the H-techs. I don't have very many good picures, but here you go...

makes me wonder if I'll be ok with 26" slicks ? hmm, I also wonder about changing the angle of the CV, if that would potentially cause problems. You live and you learn ?

Yeah, I installed the h-tech's about a month after Cullen. I've already had to replace 1 CV boot, but I've got a popping noise in the other side now. So, I'm just going to replace both CV joints, in the near future.

What do you use the trailor for? Track days?

Oh and which kit did you get?

Edit: NVM. I just checked out the site. I think the kit would look hot with the blue paint.

Well, i really want Cullen's H-techs, but I used to have H&Rs and I loved them. I could not care less about the mileage on them, but how old are they? THe newer ones ride more level than do the older ones, at least on 5MT models. My old ones rode nose-high, even on my auto Maxima...

minor update:

so I put on the S-Techs today... um... not too impressed. I can't drive the car, so maybe they just need to settle? right now they are sitting almost identical to my H&R's. I immediately trailered it to the shop, so I have no pics.

With some luck it will run next weekend, so I guess we'll see then
