I RECENTLY PAIRED TOGETHER TEIN S TECH SPRINGS AND TOKICO ILLUMINA 5-WAY ADJUSTABLE STRUTS. THIS DROP GAVE ME 2.2" UP FRONT AND 1.6" IN THE REAR. WITH THIS KIND OF SETUP, YOU SHOULD TRIM YOUR BUMPSTOPS FOR A MORE COMFORTABLE RIDE. MY PREVIOUS SETUP I HAD KYB GR-2 STRUTS AND DID NOT TRIM THE BUMPSTOPS. THE RIDE WAS A BIT HARSH AND BOUNCY. MY PREVIOUS SETUP CONSISTED OF MAXSPEED SPRINGS AND KYB GR-2 STRUTS. THIS SETUP LOWERED MY MAXIMA 1.7" UP FRONT AND 1.3" IN THE REAR.
1.5 FINGER GAP WITH THE TEIN SPRINGS COMPARED TO A 3 FINGER GAP ON THE MAXSPEEDS
