Lowering Kit for a Maxima On 20'S

I was looking to get a lowering kit for my 1997 Maxima I currently have 20's on it.

I am worried that if I do the eibach pro kit which lowers it
Pro-Kit 1.5" F/ 1.3" R

will the car have problems on the rear with it hitting the inner fender wells? I want to be able to get rid of my gap but yet also have a useable 4 door at the same time?

Does anyone recommend something or know if this setup will work for me? thanks

you might have to roll your fenders take the metal edges in your fenders and pinch or roll it back so it won't hit and cut the tires...

why not coilovers so you dont get stuck with one height setting.

Coilovers might be way too stiff . . .whats the tire size you are running? 20's wouldnt be much of a problem if you were running say; 225/35/20 , but with 245/40/20, you might run into problems. To be on the safe side, you could always drop the car wit H&Rs. If you have any pics of your car on 20s, please post them.

Wisky i don't know why you consider H&R's SAFE? i have had both eibach and H&R. Not only did the eibach ride like **** (could have been the stock/blown shocks) but they lowered the car almost 3/4" LESS then the H&R's i have just over 2" drop with my H&R/AGX combo on a manual tranny. Ironically it is even as well no *** sag.
