Suspension (sways, springs, underdrive pulley?)

I am thinking about upgrading my suspension and i know we only have a few options. I am thinking about getting Progress Sways and Tein S Techs. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Also what options may be better here are the links in which i will be buying the suspension parts. Also where might i be able to buy an unorthodox underdrive pulley? Once again any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sways: http://www.racetechperformance.com/P...ode=PRG-621522
Springs: http://www.racetechperformance.com/P...IN-SKP62-AUB00
Thanks

eibach and progress make springs for our cars as well. Racing line and Stillen make front strut tower braces too. i have the racing line strut tower brace and eibach springs and love both. take your car to a good alignment shop when yor done lowering it and have them do a 4 wheel alignment and straighten everything back out

Also with all the strut and stuff did you notice a difference in handling? I know on some cars that the strut tower dont affect your handling that much. Which is why i wanted to get sways.

Get the sway bar from Cattman. Racetech has it listed cheaply and then they contact you saying the price has increased (it happened to me). I love how much the more neutral the car feels now.

everything is on here... just use the search button... many members here don't like "holding hands" with other memebers with the m first searching for the info. All that you want is a sticky under the suspension. you can also try the other "6th generation" maxima forum.

eibach or progress springs and KYB GR2 struts is a tried and tested combo that a lot of the people on here use. as far as sway bars go no one makes one for the front of our cars that i know of but i think i remember reading something about an altima SER front sway bar fitting in our cars. proggess is the only one i know of that makes a rear sway bar but i dont know how much difference it makes, cause not alot of people have them.

the raceing line sturt bar in the front of make a car made a noticeable difference, not huge but noticeable.
