What springs/strut combo is everyone running??

I am looking into buying some lowering springs and was wondering what to get and what you all have and how you like it. Please post what combo you have and also if possible a picture to see how low it is thanks- Happy Thanksgiving

Seriously, did you trim a coil or somthing. every time you post your drop I cant believe those are Sprints.
I have seen so many vehicles with the same setup as you, myself included and their not as low as you. Your fronts are so low, the wheel is tucked.
Dont get me wrong, it looks good. But either you have the only set of Sprints like that or they must be trimmed.

Stock Struts AND Spring . . . .


But plan on coupling some GR-2 and some H-Tech or S-Tech once I find out what the difference between the 2 are.

H-Techs are softer and less drop, S-Techs have bigger drop but firner ride.

By the way, I'm still undecided on whether I should get H&Rs or H-Techs...

He guys quick question for the guys that have tokico hp, have been reading alot of threads that said the tokico hp sucks becuase it is no stiffer then the stock one that comes on the max, and the rear one will go out faster then compare with other struct. Is anyoff this is try? I mean it have work greatfor all the honda, acuara and imports cars, I just find that hard to believe that the tokico hp sucks so much when if comes to our nissan maxima. I'm haveving second thought after I bought them, I have the tokico hp and the tien h-tech setup. I'm planning to install them next week, I just hope that it corners better and it's a more stiffer then the stock shocks

Aerospeed yellows+ tokico blues.

this is a ricey combo, but they work great. very comfortable ride. I think this is due to the tokico performance.

It's not that they suck. It's that they are stock replacement (you do know not to lower on stock struts right?). They'll probably be fine for awhile, but will blow out faster than a strut made for lowering.

As far as the honda guys. These wouldn't be the same guys that like to lower 2" on stock struts and cut stock springs would they?
