I am looking for a better suspension setup ( shocks/springs) than my current o.e.m one. I like a comfortable ride, just a little more stiffer than o.e.m setup and a drop no more than 1.5 inches. I am not looking for hardcore performance so im not wanting to spend too much. Please posts setups that you guys have had experience with...pictures would be even more helpful.

Your best bet would be H&R springs with tokico illumina struts. Read this: http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaHandling

i have kyb GR-2 and im very satisfied with them. I combined em with Eibach pro-kit and i love the look/performance of it. enough for me. I'm not sure but I think H&R are a bit lower. Check out my cardomain and see by yourself if you like the drop (the drop pics are right after install i think it went down a bit)

i'd go for GR-2 or illuminas with H&R springs

What springs give an even drop all around for a 5 spd?

Well I got KYB AGX and MaxSpeed 1.5 front and 1.3 back progressive springs. I personally like the setup. It feels like regular springs during regular driving but it feels stiff during regular driving. I drove my buds Max with MaxSpeed springs and KYB GR-2 shocks. It felt pretty tight. Also if you get a drop no more then 1.5” you wont void out KYB life time warranty on your shocks.
