Stiffest lowering springs
Had the maxima out today just driving to the grocery store. Noticed when I took a turn that the suspension is quite soft. Comfort...pish posh. What is rated the stiffest lowering springs? Who has them and what are your opinions?

Lowering springs will improve handling, but if you want the most performance, go coil-over. It just depends how much you want out of the car and your budget. You can PM me if you have questions.

I understand that springs are progressive. The thing is they must progress to some point. I would do coilovers which would just mean that I would have to save for a longer period of time but our roads up north here are awful. We get potholes, frost mounds, uneven roads. With lowered cars you actually have to teach yourself which roads you can and cannot go down to get to a certain location.

Has anyone looked into or installed RS-R springs. I am hesitant to purchase them because of the inconsistency I have found.
One place said that the lowering would be 1.2-1.4 front and .6-.8 rear with spring rates of 5.54kg/mm front and 3.67kg/mm rear.
Another place says lowering is 1.2-1.4 front and rear and spring rates are 2.75kg/mm front and 4.79kg/mm rear.
Those two are quite different for being the same spring.

Sorry but if the roads are that bad then go with the Eibach's or RS-R lowering springs so you can have a bit of drive ability. Just my opinion. I have had lowered and they are fun for a while but to me you get tired of the ride being too stiff.

Always best to give RSR a call and ask them based on part number. (N910D Is the one we have.)
I honestly don't know how that amount of drop would fair in your conditions.
If you don't want to go lower you could try sway bars, but that won't really help a lot with "softness," over bumps and such... mostly the turny bits.
