Getting the front a bit tighter

I was looking at every front suspension part number for a 2014 Maxima. The only number that is different are the springs. One is the sport tuned and other is without sport tuned. The struts are the same for both models, sport and non-sport. I also confirmed this with parts at my Nissan dealer. I guess I can assume for the front suspension the spring rate on the sport ones are the only thing that is different.

The sport suspension is a bit stiffer than the normal one.
I have switched to coilovers and it feels way better when you take a bend at high speeds.

If you want to buy mine it's for sale.

I'm guessing it doesn't drop the car any? It's just an upgraded spring of the factory set provided?

Looks like it. can't find any other part number in the front suspension that has 2 part numbers except the springs.

I was, most likely, just getting front springs. What are you asking for your parts?

I live in Florida in the Fort Lauderdale area.
300 USD was what I was thinking.

I appreciate it. But I am just looking for the sport front springs. None of the other parts are any different. Already have the Stillen rear sway.

You want to add a stiffer front spring? That will create more understeer.

He has a sway bar. It will probably set him back close to stock steering wise.

He can get the front bar also and that will solve his problem for under 150.
