Need opinions and help.

I'm giving my older sister my car, 2003 Maxima Auto 24k, she loves the car. The only complaint she has with the car is 1. Its very Low, (Tein H-Tech's) and 2 Rides rough ( Tockico Illumnias), I set the illumnias on 1 but yet the ride was still a bit harsh for her, I live in NY we have speedbumps all over our highways. And the roads here look like a bomb was dropped on them, its horrible to say the least. She Just want to get a better ride like stock, and maybe a bit higher so she doesnt scrap the MT lip i have on the car.. I was thinking H&R's or Maxspeeds since I read on houcors thread and site that they offer a great ride and are comfortable. And for struts Tockico blues since they are less harsh then kyb which are also OEM replacements. What would u guys recomend? Thank You .

keep your car, tell her to get what she likes and stop complaining about what you love and have made.

I would keep the car but i cant since my job requires for me to get a smaller car like a beater, i work in a bad area and cant afford to keep/drive the max there.

Tell your job to buy you a beater if it's for work .. no way would I ever get rid of my max. Buy an older 4th gen and keep the 3.5L, since you state you're "giving" it to her, seems as if you have it payed off. Never get rid of an investment, unless it's investing it (i.e trading it in) Or selling it ...

You're on the right track with the H&R's or Maxspeeds w/Blues - unless you have the stock stuff lying around. Probably cheaper to find someone on the org that is upgrading and buy their stock stuff from them then to buy all new springs and struts...
