how much can rear coil springs be compressed

It seems I need to compress stock springs so much just to get them off and it gets Me kinda scared. Can springs be compressed all the way and have no problems? I can compress lowering springs like a piece of cake but not stock ****.

doesn't matter, get rid of those stock springs and get some lowering springs, will make the car 1000% better. if ur gonna get new springs, lowering springs cost almost the same as stock..may be a little more.. but worth it.

I know they're a lot better. But for now I have to go stock. I had it lowered 2.2 in front amd was causing all kinds of problems with axles on my other maxima. I need to get 1.5s in front.

H&Rs lower the car 1.2-1.5 inches. No replacing of axles every couple of months. You can drive through NYC pothole crappy roads like a champ. They're the best for our car.
