H&R springs

Did some searching, but nothing stood out. Anyone know who has the best pricing on H&R springs right now? I wanted progress, but those are hard to find.
Thanks

I looked for a while and the only ones I found had too many miles. I ordered the B&G ones tonight. They have a picture on the website with the drop and it looks pretty good.

Cool, I haven't installed mine just yet as I just got them today, but here is a 'before' shot of the ride height:

(nevermind the orange peel on the Rosewood paint, it's new and we haven't wet sanded and waxed yet).

I'll post the 'after' once they're installed.

I had Progress springs and they were great. Just in between sprint springs and H&R. Go H&R if you only want a minimal, conservative drop.

Just an FYI, from the pics Ive seen with Maximas using these they all had a bit of a sag in the rear.

Thanks, spacers are 25mm rear and 15mm fronts from Eibach. I played with some lasers to see where I wanted the wheels to sit, if they are off I'll send them back and get the next size up or down. I knew the wheels would be offset a bit wrong but I got the wheels with the tires which were almost new for $250 so I couldn't complain too much

Thanks and yes, it was sprayed two weeks ago. I'm just waiting to be able to wet sand it and then wax it.

$250 is a no brainer there! 15 and 25 should put them pretty flush. I have 20mm in the rears and what a difference. I will never take them off.

most tire shops recommend a certain sized tire with a wheel package.

For those of you with spacers, did u guys get your own tires and now need spacers to make the tires flush with the body???

Most tires shops recommened a tires size based on the size and width of the wheel.
Spacers are used to make up for the offset, it makes the wheel flush.
