Which springs look best

I just got a 2000 Maxima and I love it. But there is one thing that has been bothering me. There is a giant gap above the tire and the rest of the car. I know there are several types of springs that you can buy to lower it, but which ones are the best? I don't want it to low, but I don't want to leave it how it is. I don't wanna have to worry about going over speed bumps or avoiding potholes either. I just want it to look awesome. If someone could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

TEINS IMO are the best springs I've owned yet.

you don't HAVE to, but you should. The spring rates on aftermarket springs are pretty high for the stock suspension to hold up for very long.
