Suspension help!

Suspension help!
I recently installed a set of Godspeed mono ss coilovers on my 2017 Maxima. When I dropped the back to the level I wanted it, I had to compress the A arm quite a bit and left the stock spring intact and it seemed like the coilover and spring were fighting each other. So I raised the rear to about factory height. Seems to be better now but it got me thinking. Are the factory springs even necessary with a set of coilovers? I have seen videos on G35s where the factory coils are deleted and was just wondering if that is appropriate for this application. I did try to remove the coils myself to no avail, so will probably have to take it to a shop if this is the necessary step to be able to get the ride height where I want it. Any feedback or personal experience is greatly appreciated.

if you have a spring on your rear coilover and not a separate spring from the shock you do not need the spring in the bucket, you'll never be able to get lower than oem if so

That's great looking. Question is do they feel tight enough on turns and do they ever bottom on dips? I have been thinking GodSpeed, Truheart or D2. That and what size rims do you have, I have a 17' SL and am installing 20" X 8.5's next week. Do you think I'll have any issues, just recommendations because you have already installed the suspension I will?
