do a search...

you wanna be low?..or just a little low?..not really?

struts..u can wait for the kyb adjustables.(gonna be cheaper thank konis..so they say..)
konis are the best you can get so far..price is high though
tokicos are disliked by many forum members..go out in some cases in 6ks.

i dont wanna be that low i just wanna get rid of some of that fender gap its so ugly. i just dont want the tire inside the wheel well. i want the edge of the tire to be with the edge of the fender.

well....

you can try intraxs..but they arent performance oriented..i dont think..getting the gap you want a max requires a real good drop...some guys cut their coils to go lower..like brianV and maxedbandit...or you can try what,im getting some sprint springs that should lower 2 inch..

yeah adjustables are more expensive..konis $~500(ouch)

H&R lowers my car about 1.5". My fender gaps are about 2 fingers in all corners. It's not that noticeable but just right for my taste.

Today I took a co-worker out to lunch. He has an Acura TL. When he got in and sat, he said, your car feels low than other Maxima's I have ridden, even before I started the engine. Well, if only by sitting down someone car tell it's lowered, then it's low enough.
