You can get whatever spring rate you want.... The install is pretty easy, Ive never done it before this was my first time and it was pretty easy only hard part is getting the strut mounts for the rears off... I took mine to a parts store and they did it for me. Go with the D2's cause prices arent gonna go down anymore for them... they are just gonna keep rising....I got mine for 825 on the first group deal.

I'm honestly not sure how useful this poll is, since those are 2 vastly different things and it all depends on what your modding priorities are... but I guess if it gives ya the info ya want... whatever... anyways... I say D2s, only because it'll have a huge impact on the way the car looks and handles... it'll eliminate the nasty wheel gap, and it'll handle much better than with OEM struts/springs...

D2s... Maximas with body kits and stock wheel gap look like UFOs with lift kits.

I say suspension 1st. Rims and kits look good with a dropped car. Looks not as good on a 4x4...

Drop it first. I don't like the 4x4 look either (even though I drive a max with the 4x4 look). besides, it's more fun to be able to take a corner as fast as an RX-8 than to look like a too-fast-too-furious car.

Go with the D2's. Don't go with the 4X4 autozone special look.
