1. nobody knows what year maxima you have. it makes a difference
2. look in your generation-specific forum for stickies on this subject
3. this part of the forum is for "advanced suspension" not basic questions. you will get a clearer, better answer in the generation-specific forum
4. no aftermarket suspension will ride "better" than stock. It will handle better, but the ride won't be "cushier." If you want cushy, get a smaller rim and a taller tire.

want a more smoother ride? get rid of the 18's then. thats honestly my best suggestion. put on the stock 16's with some 225/50/16 or 215/55/16 with some nice thick rubber to absorb some of the impact. that should help alot.

But if your not willing part with the wheels. H&R are one of the most comfertable springs out there.

Or go with stock GLE springs, of course im asumming you have a 4th gen se.
