Maxspeed Springs

Does anyone know where I can find Maxspeed springs?
Are these discontinued...?
If so, are there any other cheap'ish springs with a level drop and a forgiving ride?
I don't want a to get a migraine from driving down Wisconsin roads on stiff springs.

If you don't think I should go with Maxspeed springs, can anyone recommend
some springs that will provide like a 1.3-1.7 in. drop that won't be stiffer than boards?
For the record I have Tokico HP struts and shocks.

I'm not sure about the maxspeed springs.

Vogtland springs are supposed to be nice. Drop 1.4". They also come as a set with stagg struts if you need them. Around 200 for just springs, around 350 for the combo.

Good luck on finding the Maxspeed springs though.

Thanks guys! I was pretty set on the Maxspeeds because of the attractive price and not-too-bad ride quality but I think I'm gonna save up a little more money and go for the Tein H-Techs!

it's been a while, but I think the H&Rs are supposed to be comparable to maxspeeds. Again, it's been awhile.

I am in the same boat, I had an 02 max SE that I put Tokico illuminas on with eibach pro-kits. The handling and drop was great but any small bump in the road would break your back, even at the softest setting, my wife refused to drive in the car on road trips and what not. I now have an 04 infiniti i35 and I'm looking for the same 1-1.5 inch drop, but I want the softest possible ride there is. It's a 4 door FWD luxury sedan, It's never going to be a track car and all I want is the stance of a lowered car with a slight handling improvement. I want the closest to stock feel that's possible, any recommendations? Just a modest drop and the softest feel possible. Thanks guys. All the threads I've searched are just guys looking for the best handling, no one talks about best/softest ride quality.

The best ride quality would be coilovers. But seeing you dont want a major drop, maybe those Vogtland springs i recommended earlier, H techs, or tanabe max comfort springs. Those are the only ones made for comfort i can think of that you can still find.

I have had the Maxspeed w/ KYB GR2 struts on 3 different Maxima's (95 GLE, 98 SE, 97 SE) same set that i transferred over each time and they have been great. Nice drop, not too firm or soft IMO. I think this is how the car should have come from the factory.
