Which spring should i got

Well getting to drop the car going with Tokico Illumunas the two springs that i am looking at are the H&R and the Tein-H trying to get a good drop but also want to have a smooth ride I live here in new york so pot holes are part of life here. So guys let's hear what your feelings are I have to say that I am looking more at the Tein-H so feedback on that setup would be great thx.

The H&R springs are definitely good springs. A lot of Org members have them, and pretty much all of them agree that they offer excellent quality and a great ride for a decent price. Some people say that the H&R springs make the Maxima ride the way it should have been from the factory.

So, if they're so great, why doesn't everybody have them? It's a cosmetic issue. The H&R springs do NOT drop the car uevenly. H&R springs offer a nice, even drop. In fact, they drop the front just a tiny bit more than they drop the back. The problem is that our front wheel wells are bigger than our rears, so even though the H&R drop favors the front slightly, a Maxima on H&R springs looks like it is "sagging" in the back.

The Tein H-Tech springs are also good quality springs, and they offer a decent compromise between ride quality and performance. Since they drop the front a little more aggressively than the H&R springs, they don't produce the same rear sagging illusion.

Personally, I think you'd be happy with either the H&Rs or the Tein H springs, because both choices offer a good ride and good handling, and both choices will make your Maxima look much better than it does on its super-high stock suspension. Some people are just really picky about making their cars look EXACTLY level (even though it doesn't look exactly level in stock form).
