Is yours lowered? Did you have to use spacers on the fronts?
Stock height
20mm in the front i believe and i bought Ichiba v2 bolt ons so no need for longer studs

The Maxima had 165k miles, trans started slamming when shifting 1-2 and 2-1. I researched the possible causes and it looks like the valve body would probably need replaced (~$1k). Add to that, the clockspring causing the intermittent horn blow and it needing tires. The check engine light has been on for a while with the catalytic converter efficiency code(s) and after about 100k miles it started using oil (about 2qts every 4k miles). So with adding up all the $$$ to fix what I know for sure it needs, (let alone the issues that could come up on a 165k mile car) I decided it was time to offload it. I considered selling it outright, but didn't really have time to watch the thread and weed out trolls. So the dealer took it for $3k and I have a nice new 2013 Camry with 32 miles on it.

Now I have my fun car and my old man/family car (and Durango for road trips/hauling ATVs).
