Wrench Day - A33 Maxima

I will start this off by saying that I will never in my life purchase an Eibach product. I'm not sure how often this happens, but my buddy Zeead has broken TWO consecutive Eibach springs. How shitty can your products actually be? It's not like the kid is auto-crossing or anything either. They just break during normal usage. Total shit.

Anyway. So he calls me up and we tear into his (gorgeous) 2002 Maxima which has been left crippled by the incompetence of Eibach.

2 days later we finally get the wheels off (lol long story) and we can finally get to work.

The front driver side spring broke and tore the shit out of his front tire.

He had to wire it in with a coat hanger to keep it in line.

Zeead dropping the rear suspension. ha ha

Fully adjustable camber.

Zeead adjusting the damper.

Back to work after lunch Zeead was all business. We installed the Tien H-Techs in place of that busted Eibach nonsense.

From Project Maxima


Compressing the spring so we can uninstall it from the strut.

From Project Maxima


Piece of cake! (4 hours later)

From Project Maxima



Hey Z, any final thoughts for Eibach and their quality control division??

From Project Maxima


Yup. That's what I thought...
