I'm installing mine this weekend. I plan on cuting my aftermarket springs as well. I'll let you know how they ride. I've heard from people at the maxima meets that its a smoothe ride even lowered.

I know my SE-R is no Maxima, but I have GR-2 struts on my SE-R with Eibach ProKit springs. The ride is a LOT better than one of my buddies whose got an SE-R with Tokicos and Ground Control Coilovers.

I've got close to 20,000 miles with this setup and its still a nice, smooth ride.

Are you planning on lowering your car as well?

If you are lowering, I'd definatly suggest KYB AGXs although GR2s would be sufficient enough for softer springs like H&Rs.. but if you are planning on staying at stock height on factory springs, I'd suggest GR2s because the adjustability factor of the AGXs won't really play a big role, plus you will save some $ buying GR2s which are already a step up from stock struts.

If you're lowered or plan on lowering your car, go with the AGX
If you plan on keeping suspension stock, GR2 are good OEM replacements.

GR-2 are 15% stiffer then stock. This info is from Chuck at KYB. The GR-2 is a great strut for lowering springs. All KYB GR-2 and AGX are only recommended on drops of 1.5" or less.

I have the GR-2 with ST springs and they are very nice.
