CM brand or Race Brand lowering springs

CM lowering springs
Nissan Maxima 1989 - 1994 2.0" drop
$92.90

Race Lowering Springs
Lowers 1.8" Front & 1.7" Rear
$75.00

Wich ones would probably be the best. I am a cheap wad so they sound good to me. Cheapest I can find ANYWHERE!

Also what are some cheap struts or shocks. Whatever they are called.

If the CM springs are the same as CMS springs, they're actually a good quality spring.
I have GR2's in the front and I think they're pure junk. However, they are mighty cheap!

i've never heard of those brands but u get what u pay for. i ended up getting AROSPEED lowering springs when they first came out for our cars and they r complete garbage. right now i heard that DROPZONE supposeabley makes them and its a 2 inch drop but don't know if they r any good. i have KYB in the rear and so far they're pretty good but if say ur a cheap wad don't bother gettin' anything cheap for ur suspension cuz then u'll spend even more money fixin' what got messed up for installin' cheap suspension. just save money and buy the good stuff.

bumpy only happens with springs, but bad shocks.

bumpy happens when you have aftermarket springs
bouncy happens when you have bad struts
