Eibach Pro-kit Lowering Springs

I was thinking about buying these springs. Before I spend the money I would like to hear some feedback from you guys. Anyone purchased this set? How does your car ride now? Here's a link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

tons of info in search. The consensus (some but not all) have popping noises, ride quality is good compared to Progress. Not bad for the money. I personally ride Progress

Get em. I have them, see my sig. No popping noises or any noise for that matter, ride is great. I recently called and got the spring rates for these. They are progressive, so the fronts start out at 160lbs/in and progress to 303lbs/in as force is applied. The rears are linear, so they have a single spring rate of 228lbs/in. Stock rates are 160 front and 278 rear. You wont be dissappointed. oh, one last thing, try the group deals section, i think you may find them slightly cheaper.

kinda off topic, i'm looking to NOT lower my max. everything is OE, but i feel like the rear end is much too low compared to the front (even worse than nissan originally designed). posted on other threads and i know the car is supposed to be higher in the front, but the difference is substantial now. worse than every other maxima i spot in traffic. is it odd that after only 6 years the springs would need replacing? shocks seem fine, and the front strut setup looks good. i don't wanna do anything fancy, i just wanna get it back to normal looking.

Before I went coilover I had Eibach's with zero issues and zero noise. Overall great mod and the dude who bought and installed my Eibach's on his Max has had zero issues also. IMO people who had noise issues had them installed improperly (turned the wrong way), Eibach is a solid and trusted name in vehicle suspension performance ...
