The Eibach is a nice, stiff spring if that is what you are after. In your sig it says you have AGXs. Why would you want to downgrade to GR2s? You shouldn't need a camber kit unless you drop it with Tein S-Techs or Sprints. There is no need with a smaller drop like the Eibachs or Tein H-Techs.

AGXs are NOT soft. The AGXs are probably the harshest struts for the maxima. If you want a softer ride you should get the Tockico Illuminas.

i run illuminas paired with Vogtland spirngs (same as the tokico ones). It's not that bad of a ride in the car. It can be bouncy at times and harsh but the handling is greatly improved. Driving around in the winter time can be a pain but other than that i don't have a complaint.

Im not going to read this all but if no one mentioned it, SPRINGS DONT WEAR OUT, struts do and all you would need to do is get some illuminas or stocks.

Yes, AGXs can be adjusted, but even on 2 (the setting I use) they are still very harsh. I have had these on my car for over a year and have tried a lot of different setting combos. Read up on the AGXs. Nearly everyone who has them will concede that they are on the harsh side. They are nice struts and they don't blow easily, but if you want a soft ride DO NOT get AGXs. You will not be happy with them. Like I said before, they are probably the harshest struts available for our cars. I've never rode in a max with Illuminas but there are many people who have gone from AGX to Illuminas and they say that the Illuminas will give you a more comfortable ride without a loss in handling when compared with the AGXs. I will soon be getting Tein Basic coilovers. From what I hear they should give me a more comfortable ride than the AGXs give me now.
