The reason I picked High-Techs over H&Rs or Tokico springs is their larger front/rear drop differential (1.6" F/1.2" R). Most aftermarket springs for the Maxima seem to be designed to be fairly even on an automatic Max since most Maxes are autos. I did not want that. As you can see, the drop is quite even (keep in mind the front wheelwell is larger than the rear). I don't think it actually dropped 1.6" in front because of my transmission (manual weighs almost 60 pounds less than auto), but that was the whole idea, and even drop. Aesthetically I might want the front a tiny bit lower but for handling it's great. I don't mind that you can see my white Illumina struts from some angles:

Sounds like a lot of you guys don't know about MaxMods:
