so i got some lowering springs from a guy at the meet. he had the same ones in his max. anyways, i went to install them yesterday and came across a problem. the top of the new spring has a smaller diameter than stock. so what do i need to get to make up for this difference and where can i find it?

I've never heard of this problem. It seems to me like any stock style lowering spring that does not fit the maxima top hat is not designed for the correct (generation?) maxima. Can you take a picture?

i bought them from a maxima guy 30 minutes from me. i see him every week at the meet. but if needed, ill take a direct pic with my camera. also, im picking up spare pieces from the junkyard tomorrow to give you guys an idea.

Maybe try flipping the springs?

well, the larger diameter on the spring matches up perfect with bottom of strut.

So maybe you need top hats like with the eBay sleeves:

That is a generic pic and are not going to fit. The fronts are the same diameter on either end. The rears do have slightly smaller coils for the bottom where the sit on the strut.
