The Tokicos should be fine. I have 50K miles on mine. Now you're ready for a N. Ga. mountain drive.

@#$%!!!

Whenever I have myself convinced that I'm happy with the car without lowering it, someone posts a set of pictures like these. Looking good, man... that extra scholarship money is starting to look like mod fuel for me now.

Better make sure you've got good brakes too... cornering at high speeds is only fun when the brakes are working.

I will have the same setup in a week or so. For me, I wish I could have gotten the OE springs that H&R make. I want a slight drop. Like one inch max. What I'm more interested in is the spring rate and characteristics. I don't want to be scrapping the ground especially since I just put on the stillen front lip. The Maxima is our family car, so I'm reluctant to drop it. I'm hoping I can do other things to raise the height after installing the springs.

how about buying a set of coilovers instead of just springs?

if ya do that, then you can change the ride height whenever you feel like it. (well, there's a little work involved, but you get my drift.

What are these OE H&R Springs that you speak of? I agree with you about lowering, 1" would be perfect.
