Yet another spring question
I have 2k2 wheels on my 95 maxima. i just want something to take that monster truck look away. not something to slam it. i know im wasting bandwith on another suspension question but i just want to know what you guys think would be the best spring to get a little fender well gap away and still ride good.

Are you an auto or manual tranny?
If your an auto, here's what I did. Get a set of factory front springs from a 5 speed and install them in your front suspension. The front springs differ slightly by tranny and being the automatic is heavier it lowers the front end about 3/8 to 1/2 inch. Not much of a drop but the front and rear gaps on my car came out perfectly even. The stock set up appears to have larger wheel gaps up front, which is even more so responsible for the 4x4 look. Worked perfect on my car and it rides excellent.
Here's a picture of how it sits with 17's on. The front gap is right on with the rear.
