Re: opinions on springs and where to get them?

If I was you I d get sprints and forget all the BS Why? Maximas have a large fenderwell gap and it looks nasty with all of the above. Eibach HR's and BG that doesnt do the Maxima no justice. Sprints all the way. I couldnt get none cause they are out of stock but I have the sprint drop. Do keep in mind the lower your car goes you ll loose a bit of ride quality. If you just ordered those adjustable shocks it will compensate quite a bit for the rough ride.

Would it be alright to keep the stock shocks and add H&R's? I cant afford the KYB's yet....I really want the springs but dont wanna destroy the shocks.

If you dont live in pothole kingdom you should be alright with the H R's and stock shocks for a while, up until you save money to get your kybs or whatever you decide to get, I wouldnt invest in Tockico blues if I was you put a bit more cash and youll be good.

if you get the H&Rs.... tokicos will be fine. Ive had mine for a year now and they still feel great.....VERY satisfied. Now MZMTG had sprints with toks for like 6 months and ruined his....so if you go with other springs dont buy the toks

Go with B+G's, they will drop you 1.6 and have a great ride. I have the AGX/B+G combo and highly recommend it.

i've had the h&r/tokicos on my 97 SE now for about 2 months and i am very pleased with the ride and handling. the drop could be a little lower, but then the ride would probably be rougher. overall this is the best mod i've done yet, besides y-pipe. good luck!
