Finally bought my Suspension setup-Thanks everyone!
I finally purchased my suspension set up (H&R springs with Tokico shocks/struts). I know all of you had to endure all of my stupid questions
so thanks to all that helped me!! I bought them from Shox.com at a very fair price, $543 shipped. I got a price from a local shop of $150 to install, which I think is very fair.
Also, I guess I need an alignment too? What is this, just a tire alignment and rotation right?? How much will this cost...prob around $50? If there is anything else I should know about my setup and things I should do, please feel free to reply. Anyways, thanks to all who helped, I will post how everything turns out with my new BMW, uhhh...I mean Maxima handling

I got the lifetime 4-wheel alignment from Firestone. Cost was $120 for unlimited alignments.
I got my money's worth since it took five tries for four different Firestone shops to get the alignment right. Even though computer might read "within specs" for alignments, the stiff suspension and sticky tires makes every little alignment problem felt, so you have to be in PERFECT alignment to track straight. Also, rear wheels are not adjustable, so if you can get a two wheel lifetime alignment, that would be a better deal.
