The ride is alot like the GLE ride, but its bouncy.
Not a big problem for me.

I think it is not as harsh as the stock SE ride plus you get the benefit of the drop. I have not had Eibachs. I have never driven a GXE or GLE. I don't think mine are bouncy.
It feels just right to me: the H&R's provide a compromise between performance, comfort, and looks.

That is what I thought since we are 4x4 to begin with..

But once again, love my H&Rs.

did you HAVE to cut the bumpstops, or is it not neccessary?
i'm planning on doing the install myself on the H&R's, and from the How to's i read that it wasn't that hard, and it didn't mention anything about the bumpstops.

i didnt get my bumpstops cut.
i asked the shop to cut it, but they said it wasnt necessary. they said normally, on a civic or something, they would cut off the bumpstop. my max didnt need it he said.
and i have not felt any 'bottoming out' effects

Dooball, I had to clean myself up after seeinn your car in blue with the kit. Is that your car? Did you paint it? ****, you definately should be the Max of the month. What kind of rims are those? Sorry about the 20 questions but, damn, looks good!

Well with any aftermarket lowering springs, your ride will deteriorate. Sure, on smooth roads it will be smooth, but so will having no suspension on a smooth road. When it gets bumpy, well, you'll be happy you have a soft cushy drivers seat (unlike those rock hard racing seats). One thing about the Maxima is that you can't improve handling much without killing the ride. But hey, it's not a BMW, so you can't really expect that.
If you do get H&R's, also get aftermarket struts. The labor is the same, so save money by doing both at once.

wow.
eric's post kinda put a little doubt in my head wether or not i'm going to go for the springs. lol. i like the look, but i don't want the really harsh harsh ride. from other posts they say it is close to SE rides, but to me my SE doesn't ride that bad.
i'm planning on doing the install with me and a couple of friends, so the labor won't be anything.
but that last post got me thinking about the spring thing a bit.
