I think that they have the all new 6in drop springs.










j/p
You should get a drop that fits your wants/needs. SEARCH for spring comparisons and you'll find everything that you need to know.

whatever you do don't give it the rice drop. 1.5" inch drop front and back looks real good on the maxima/I30. then it all depends where u live, how bad the roads are so you can decide whether you want a somewhat softer spring rate or a more firmer one. i live in massachusetts where most of the roads in average/poor condition and i have the eibach pro kit on mine with a 1.5" front drop and a 1.3" rear drop and it looks and handles real good. it'll definitely feel firmer than stock with eibachs but it's not bad at all and it's expected when a car is dropped. so don't go with anything more than 1.5" drop, you're drivin a max not a rice burner

If you're looking for springs, in what order do you rank... drop, handling, ride comfort? So we can find a spring or coilover system that would fit what you're looking for.
