Eibach springs "low enough"

Good morning guys and gals!

I assume there is a considerable amount of you guys using either the eibachs or the h&R's on your vehicles by now. The question that I have is are they low enough. I say this several reasons, however my specific interests are removing that God aweful wheel gap. I have browsed up and down the threads and on the web looking for shots of Max's with the pro kit installed and every vehicle I see looks different as far as ride height. I have also spent a considerable amount of time photoshopping the crap out of my car to see how it would look with the springs vs. Coilovers. The springs are certainly much cheaper so if they will get the job done, I would just go for that, however the adjustability would be nice for the winter months. I digress, in any event, are these springs low enough to eliminate or significantly reduce wheel gap given 19" sport wheels and a 2009 Max. I would also be interested in handling however I opted for the Max not the 370, so taking corners at 90mph isn't a major concern for me. Those that have these things installed, any feedback you may have would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

YES, its low enough

I would say its certainly low enough.

As for the ride quality the 1st Maxima i test drove was the 2010 Sport and liked the ride. The car i ended up buying was the 2010 Premium. At the time i disliked the soft feel of the Premium but after a while the comfort really grew on me. Then after the spring install i felt like i had gone too far the other way. Dont get me wrong it handles sweet and the height is perfect (or maybe even a little low for a 45yo guy .

Its just a firm ride coming from a premium perspective.
