Need help lowering my 95 Maxima

Hey whats up everyone? Newbie here from Toronto needs help lowering my 95 Maxima. Right now I have 17" rims with
215/45/18(i think 18 is right) Yokahama tires

Now I want to lower my can properly. My problem is that I have a HUGE gap in the front but the rear is not as noticable. I wanted to lower the front 2" minimum. I was told that I will need an alignment kit to prevent the tires from wearing out aswell. My problem is that I am having a lot of difficulty finding a manufacturer that carries kits that lower my modle vehicle 2". So far the most I found was
1.7" front and 1.5" rear bt progressive auto. Any help with stores in the GTA that carry kits lower then this or if anyone knows a place/manufacturer that caried kits 2" or lower is greatly appreciated.

Any other recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Sprint springs

Recommend AGX shocks/struts with these.


And these will help your alignment worries.

Umm, copy past links if they dont work.

Um sorry I have no clue about the camber bolts, I dont have em.

I think plenty of people are running them sprints without camber bolts. I'd say a good alignment guy could get the 2" drop damn close to specs. Dont worry about it too much.

The rear of maximas is not adjustable. It is always aligned so dont pay for a 4 wheel alignment. The rear is used as a guide for the front to get proper alignment.

Ok sounds good. So from what Im understanding, an alignment kit is means the same thing as a camber kit right?
