I'm second guessing my H&R lowering springs for sure. I think my car lost significant grip.

Feel like an idiot for not getting CO's sooner. You will not regret it. Your rear fenders might not like it but that can be fixed.

Just a word though, your grip will be determined in part by your tires. My snows were horrid and scary my summers were totally awesome w/the Progress/Illunima. Also, W/lowering springs/ after market shocks, this car cannot go low enough to affect camber. Some dudes buy amber kits but they usually hit the roadcourse so it's merited then.

Most CO's have camber plates.

I'm right ****ed since i dropped about 800 on KYBs and H&Rs. A Maxima peep on facebook made a comment about ditching defective H&R springs. We all know they need to break in but, after some time this dudes still didn't drop. i'm 3 weeks in and only have .45" drop in the front.

what ****ing NIGHTMARE, no instructions for installing the boots from KYB, btw they aren't sealed or mounted they just loosely float. i accidentaly click the wrong drop down on rock auto and ordered bare struts, FYI your ****ed if you do, good luck ordering all the rubbers and mounts and bits and pieces, even when you do get them all you still need old parts off the old struts.

moral of the story,
