The Struts come up to be like 466 and the springs are 187.
These are the cheapest I found both of these. If anyone knows anywhere esle cheaper let me know. Both of these places have free shipping.
And I was wrong it's like a $12 difference

Correction...the TEIN Stech are alot cheaper at Everything Nissan they are like 138 + shipping

seems like Tein is what everyone wants but doesn't have. im not looking at getting suspension yet, but i will in the future. im wondering whats the best ride? i like the stock ride its like its floating- am i sacrificing this sweet ride by just wanting to lower the car and get better handling? what is the difference between coilovers and normal springs, are they just adjustable or is it a whole diff type of suspension?

tein's seem to be getting a real good review. i plan on doing my suspension in the spring, im just doing my research now. looks like illuminas seem to be the strut to go with i can't decide which springs yet though. tien, eibach and tokicos all look good

Same, but after a year I've decided it's too stiff a ride. Cornering, handling is fantastic, but 95% of my driving is straight-ahead, so the stiff ride is getting a little "fatiguing" (if that's a word).

Wondering what I can change to soften the ride. SE springs, perhaps?

I'm also riding on Eibach Prokit and Tokico Illuminas(Front 3f/Rear 3). Honestly, the drop is nice, it looks stock to the average Joe and should've come like that OEM. The handling is drastically improved but is pretty stiff and bumpy, esp. over harsh dips or bumps.

I think my set up is kind of rough (same combo as yours), even on the lower settings. I am still going to try those settings just for kicks, and see how long I can handle it for

i've got my gr-2s on now with my eibachs, and like others have said, over bumps and dips, its harsh, causes my exhaust to bang around a little bit, but the handling around corners and turns is drastically improved. the drop does look stock to someone who doesnt own a maxima, and i like it that way.

I've got the Illumina kit with Tokico springs and I'm very happy. Dropped 1 5/8" in front and 1 3/4" in the rear. Ride height is now dead even. Handling is GREATLY improved. Still comfy enough, but my wife doesn't much care for it.

Drop looks great. Like some others have said, should have looked like this from the factory. I hope I don't have trouble with snow this winter (dropped last spring and haven't seen snow), but I haven't had any problems with scraping so far (no body kit).
