Spring combination....what u guys recommend?

today is the worst day of the month for me. After a good month of waiting to get my neons and have them installed, i wait till the nasty blizzard is over and decide to get it installed yesterday. They work great, they looked great, i was very happy and i had so many people breaking their necks to see the car that was different...then....today, i go to get a haircut and i hear a lot of ticking...like something knocking on my car...i didnt hit any major patches of snow, but i'm wondering if i knocked the neons off when coming out my driveway or maybe i hit a pot hole cause i normally drive over them instead of lettng a wheel hit them....well, as i go to park, i turn my wheel and i hear glass break....scared sh*tless, i walk out my car just to see my front neons broken in half in the left side of my car....apparently they were dragging the whole time and as i turned, i crushed them with my wheel i guess?

Well i'm ****ed, my neons dont work now, well if i put them on, they come on for like 4 seconds and turn off, i have some bootleg setup having the wires tied over my splitters, and not only am i scared that they are gonna come loose and catch onto my tires and rip the rest of my neons off but i'm ****ed that this might happen again. I'm too low to get a kit (which i didnt care too much about) but now these sprints are messing with my neons, and thats a NO NO

i like my drop in the back but i'm wayyyy too low in the front. the gap is wonderful but i'm at the point where a better ride and neons are more important than that gap....

so i'm thinking of getting either B&G's or Eibach springs in the front and keeping my back with the sprints since the drop looks real good there. I was talking to Shogun and he feels, along with me, that B&G's in the front and sprints in the back would be perfectly even, and look perfectly matching, but to go from a 2.0 drop to a 1.6 drop doesnt seem to be much of a difference...thats why i'm considering eibach's which i hear is a 1.3 drop. I just gotta do something, maybe not for a kit, but i want neons, i've seen the response i've gotten from having them in one day, and to see the snow light up as u pass it is hot. All u people that say its rice, keep your opinions to yourselves dammit, neons are cool

and maxspeeds are too high, i rather go back to stock

Why don't you get Eibach's for the front left, B&G for the front right, Intrax for the left rear and keep the sprint for the right rear.

Or just stop putting rice on your beautiful Maxima.

i had so many people breaking their necks to see the car that was different
People with two heads get looked at alot too, but most people don't wish they had two heads.

I know am such a hater, I don't say it to be mean. I just care.

Yeah I got the ricer smile up first.

Don't change the springs then your 20ft metal spoiler might hit a a traffic light.

Dude, how about you just take those neons off. Problem colved and its cheaper then spending $400 or so on new springs. Neons do not belong on a maxima. Sorry.
