Ok, so im not totally sure what your asking. How it works? Compressed air in heavy duty airbags lifting the car, they act like shocks in the sense that the air can compress like a spring for bumps. They tend to do worse in heavy duty cornering and such, and dont handle like springs whatsoever, so get used to them before u try some major sharp turns and stuff. You can buy several types of systems, some just run off of an air valve, so you can build pressure to raise the car, or release pressure to lower. Others use computer type controls that have several presets, my friend has one set on an impala and his 3 settings are super low for parking and looking cool, medium for high speed driving and general good handling, and a higher setting for pot holes, drive ways, and normal driving. If you get 18s the ride might be too rough because of the stiff nature of air bags, but clearance isnt going to be an issue. The main thing is you set the included stops and bumpers so you wheels do hit your wheel wells. I've never seen an air ride system on a maxima but they work fine in general for sedans, and straight line stuff, but i wouldnt try any autocross with them
