87 gxe suspension

I saw the post for suspension upgrade but my question is how much harder is it to just toss the electronic part of the suspension for my maxima. And I don't recall seeing an estimated price for the suspension. I am looking to lower the car a couple of inches as well as replace the cv boots which have leeked really bad. What struts and springs should I look into?....Any help would be greatly appreciated.

changing your suspension to non-adjustable is written about in the stickies. There is a guy on here selling some koni adjustable struts, or you can get KYB. If you just read the stickies there is more info there.

Hey little secret I learned at my local alignment shop. When I lowered the front of my Maxima a couple of inches, my negative camber was so off it wore the insides of both front tires quickly. Instead of finding camber/caster plates to correct my camber alignment, the guys at the alignment shop grinded the top hole at the bottom of the front struts that connected to the front spindles which allowed positive camber adjustment. Now my front tires have factory camber even though the car is lowered couple of inches.

Just my $0.02.
