Your feedback on springs.

I have had quite a few different brands of springs on my maximas and was wondering what you thought.

Sprint 2.0 - Way to low. And way to soft.
Eibach 1.2 - Not low enough ride quality was awesome.
Suspension Techniques - Def. my favorite.

thinking about getting B&G and was wondering what you guys though about them.

B&G's are pretty good,not as stiff as i'd like,but not as soft as sprints.

I think you are the first to say sprints are soft. I got sprints becaue everything i read said they are most stiff. I don't by any means think they are soft. Also, I wanted a 2.5 drop, but 2 was the limit with sprints.

I'd like to know what someone would compare intrax to sprints.

sprint lacks the quality control so his may have been soft in his opinion whereas yours were stiff in your opinion.

Eibach = quality...the other reason I got them was that I need to have some ground clearance on the roads I drive on...

How much are the Eibach springs? What's a good shock to have with those? Would better sway bars help? This is for a daily driver.

Eibach / Koni is the best setup IMO, so if you have the cash you should go that route.

GR2's won't live a long life with a drop... But they are cheap.

I am happy with my Eibachs, but I don't need my car scraping on things.

In general you won't have a problem unless you radically lower it.

That's exactly what I did on my 89. A little stiff at times, but not too bad. Also depends on where you live and the streets you drive on
