KYB AGX/Eibach/H&R Springs Question...

I have a 96 Maxima and I drive in NYC (horrible pot hole filled streets).


1- I recently acquired KYB AGX struts and I was wondering what would be the best setting for me?

2- I also have the two sets of spring to choose from, Eibach Pro Kit and H&R.
What would you all recommend?

Im looking for a nice stance, great handling, and comfort.....comfort being the most important of the three

thanks

From what I've heard H&R has great handling and a softer ride, while eibach is stiffer. Check the suspension forum.

I would start with 2F 4R and see how it feels and adjust from there.

the three of these acquired in any one set of springs is hard to come by, of course these characteristics are all a matter of personal opinion. The eibachs will ride harder but handle better. I personally would choose these bc of the performance aspect but I hear great things about the H&Rs in terms of comfort vs. handling. (bc one of these 2 will be sacrificed w/ each setup)

I have the Eibachs with the AGX on 2f/1r and its pretty comfortable. I can only assume H&R would be even better interms of comfort.

Depends on the time of year. I can imagine that they are marginally better then NY. With frost heaves and potholes they arent the best. It seams that the main roads are always being fixed. I think there are more holes in the pavement down to the 2nd layer (older road) than anything. In my city they are ok, but once you get into the rural areas its a crap shoot. Some places are just crazy to drive on, especially with 18's.
