Tokico Illuminas with what SPRINGS?

I plan to put Illuminas on my car, but im still not sure what springs I want to use. I dont want to go too low and I dont want it to be too stiff. Im looking for performance that wont sacrifice all of my ride comfort. From what I remember my options are Eibach (1.3/1.0), H&R (1.4/1.3), Maxspeed (?/?), Progress (1.7/1.5), and Tein (2.2/1.8). What else? Im thinking Eibachs are going to be too stiff, and progress and tein are too low for my taste. I cant remember how low the maxspeeds are or how they ride. I think I will probably get H&Rs. As I recall, h&rs are a good cross between performance and ride quality. What do you think? Any pics of a maxima on H&Rs or any of these springs would be greatly appreciated since search is down. Also, I can use the stock strut mounts and boots with Illuminas right??

Thanks..

search through 4-5 pages and you'll find something

I'd go with H techs- 1.6 F 1.0 R
They're new ,softer than most and the kind of stance a Maxima should have in my opinion- aggresive front drop, and plenty of spring on the rear left for passengers/audio weight

Do you have the tein h-techs? Anyone have pictures of these on their maxima? Seems like they would leave the back really high. I dont have any audio stuff in the trunk and rarely have passengers in the back. If anyone has these please speak up. Im torn between the h-techs and h&rs now. I need to make up my mind quick and order these so if anyone has any pics or info, please help me out.
