Which Springs?
I'm gettin a pair of Tokico Illuminas and I been lookin and readin up on springs and have come to 2 choices which seem to be the best for a drop. I was originally planning on keeping Stock or getting SE Springs, but if I was to get 19's the space would be disgusting. So, I figured either the S-Techs or the Tokico Springs. Any recommendations?
Also, where can I find Strut Bearings and Boots for the cheapest so I can do the whole setup at once?

The Illumina Kit is really good, S-techs are too low.

Other springs - Eibach, H&R or Progress. All have nice drops and are very street compliant.

FYI, the price for the strut bearings from pinnaclenissan is a few dollars more than quoted by my local Nissan parts department, i.e. don't assume the online price will be better than your local dealer.
Why are the OEM boots better than the KYB's? My OEM boots are cracked at every fold after 95K miles. Will the KYB's be that much worse?

depends on what you want
http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?SuspensionSelection
and
http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaSprings
I have Eibach and illuminas and I love them. They can get kind of harsh for some people but it handles great and looks like that maxima should stock.
If you want really low then get coilovers. You will never get a slammed or tire tucking maxima without coilovers or cutting springs (not a good idea).
