H&R with stock shocks?
#2
Your car is relatively new, so the shocks should be in a good condition. I would recommend you to keep your stock shocks and install H&Rs for now, and save up for either Koni or AGX adjustible shocks. Don't get Tokicos, there are a lot of people unsatisfied with their performance.

I have this setup
with 63k miles on the stock shocks and the ride is just fine (the H&R's are new). I am waiting for the AGX's if they are as good as everyone says b/c I didn't want to cut through my OEM front stuts.
Hope that helped,
Eric.

Sounds good
Thanks for the feedback here guys. I just don't want to lose the nice smooth ride the car has. Just the gap!
What about alignment issues? Camber angle & Toe? Check it after the springs settle down? I think I read someplace that toe may change a touch?

Yes, I've heard that you should do an alignment.
but
- wait about a week for the springs to settle
[though some say you don't have to wait]
- and remember that the rears can't be adjusted
so don't pay for work thaey can't do.
I have some H&Rs but they are currently only insatlled in my garage,
so I can't say anything from personal experience yet...
I plan on keeping the stock shocks untill they wear out
then AGXs [if they ever really come out]

black019, it's probably best to wait for struts to come in so you can save on the install and install both at same time, unless you doing this stuff yourself. But stock struts should definitely last a month, unless they're already very worn.

How many miles?
Hey mrb23:
I plan on doing the same exact thing as you. I have ordered a set of H&R Sport springs and I want to use my stock struts/shocks. Here's my setup:
1999 Nissan Maxima SE-L
48K miles
Enkei 18*7.5 RS6 wheels w/ 235/40R18 tires.
How many miles have you driven since your H&R springs? 40K total or 40K since new springs? How does one know that the struts have given-up and needs a replacement?
I am wondering how long before my stock struts give in...
Please advice...

yeah, i got H&R with stock shocks, been running it for ALMOST three years now (H&R install was almost 3 years ago). My original shocks still work fine after 40k, though I'm tempted to upgrade. :P
