Lowering Springs or CoilOvers??? HELP!!!

I want my max to be as low as possible without making the ride unbearable. Im looking to get one of these setups:

GR-MOTORSPORTS Lowering Springs TUNED BY MATRIX
2.25 Inch drop
About $100
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2445680458
or

Adjustable Weapon-R Circuit Pro Coilovers
1-4 Inch Drop
About $200
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33586

I would like to be able to easily adjust my ride height but I also want to be able to drive without feeling EVERYTHING. I'm young so I can handle a rougher ride. But I don't want "CD Always Skips" rough.

Which Should I Get??? and Why???

THANKS

First off, the GR springs are for an Eclipse, read down below the image. I don't think GR even makes springs for the Maxima (but I could be wrong, but most likely not)

Also, lucky for you I just finished my suspension selection webpage:

You just can't rest on your laurels, can you? big ups bro Some of the stuff you have there i've never even seen before. I heard of the Dropzone N1 coils, but know nobody that used them. I also know of their struts/coil kits, but otherwise, i've never heard much about them. I have FLT-A2s on the way though, and i can't wait to get them. But Drew, the max community owes you alot man...

Please dont install your rims till you install the coilovers. Trust me on this one.

Hello,

Why do you say not to use WeaponR coilovers? Have you had them before?
