Any recommendations on Intake Systems and Lowering Springs?

I have a 2007 Maxima that's ready to be de-virginized. There are a lot of options and competitions out there for both intake systems and lowering springs. Any one have any recommendations?

I have an R2C and I love it. It cost me about $100 more than the fujita, but the peace of mind in not having to deal with cleaning/oiling/replacing the filter is worth it (to me). Sounds great, looks great. Have gotten lots of compliments.

As far as springs, I read a writeup on here a while back, I think it was the presence, who had experience with a million different spring/shock setups and his final recomendation was eibachs and kyb gr2 shocks/struts (unless you can find the custom adjustable agx's that aren't made anymore). If you search for it you could probably find the thread. I found it really helpful.

That's what I'm running with. But I plan to try the RC2 when I get some more funds.

I THINK I DECIDED TO GO WITH THE INJEN INTAKE & EIBACH SPRINGS . WHY DOES EVERYONE LIKE THE FUJITA INTAKE IS IT BECAUSE THE PRICE IS CHEAPER OR IS PERFORMANCE BETTER

i have the nismo CAI.... but im really intrigued by the R2C.. so probably ill try that out when i get my moolah from work...

considering the year of your car.. you might want as well to change your shocks and strut... im bouncing on eibachs and gr2s.... other people say its a kinda rough ride but i dont mind...

R2c and Tein or Eibach. Or Progress springs if you want a more aggressive drop.

I had a Fujita and liked it at first... Only because I didn't know any better. When I switched to the R2c, I was shocked at how filthy my throttle body was. Only then did I find out how bad the Fujita filters were at... Filtering.

Fujita has the worst filters. If you want your throttle body turning tar black after just one year, go right ahead.

R2c without a doubt. +9hp and +5tq over the Fujita.

I have not had any throttle body "issues" and have had my Jita on for over a year. Not sure if this is a reoccurring issue or not.

As for the HP/TQ - Those numbers seem a little over the top no ??
