Strut/Shock suggestions for 2017 SR

Specifically SR owners who have changed shocks/struts am I looking for input from. What did you replace your suspension with and were you happy with the results? Mainly right now, I'm looking to replace the rear shocks, which seems to be the weaker end of the car due to weight when it comes to tracking and handling.

Any suggestions?

Your better off going to FB and getting in the 8th Gen Maxima groups...there is a ton more information and people are posting and commenting daily. But as for tracking you wont see that...mainly its all show and looks with suspension. Most people have gone either with Bags or Coils. You will find lots of maintenance information here and TSB or technical issues here on the Org, but lost of modifications, lights, wheels, suspension, aftermarket support will be in the FB groups.

I was looking at the TruHart set of coilovers.

https://www.truhartusa.com/product_p/th-n805.htm and the rear camber to keep the back end a bit straighter https://www.truhartusa.com/Rear_Camb..._p/th-n206.htm

But thanks, I'll check some forums out and see what's there. Looking for stock replacement with something that adds a bit of handling and slight lowering.

I'm not familiar with TruHart but most go with BC Racing or Ksport for Coils. If you want a mild drop and still good handling then the Eibach Springs will probably be the best bet. I don't believe anyone has really added a camber kit with just the springs...but you will with coilovers. I'm going with Ksport coils and the SPC Camber kit.
