Lowering spring

I have Elibach spring on my Maxima but I they are not low enough, and coilovers are too expensive. Anyone know what other brand of spring I can buy to lower my maxima to 2 inches. thanks!

Tein S springs drop 2.2 in front and 1.6 in the rear so the end result is a nicely balaced drop. The progress springs wont drop 2", the sprints however will give a 2" drop all the way around. Maxracer27 has the Tein S springs at around 170ish(cheaper the options). I got mine yesterday and gonna hold off installing til I decide what struts to get. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....5&pagenumber=1

Hope this drop wont kill my body kit.

Since Tein Spring gives you a 2 inches drop in the front, Do i also need to buy camber kits???

Good question, it would probably be a good idea.
