Fix for sagging rear? Fix for droopy sunvisor?

hey guys, new here, new to maximas.

So I bought an 06 SE with two noticeable problems: 1. the rear sags a little. With 4 people in it, it seems like its way too low. I can hear it rubbing tire on something in the driver rear when going over bumps or around corners.

Is the fix to buy new springs and/or shocks? I was looking at KYB excel-g (gr-2) and moog 80555 springs. Wanted input before I made a purchase....

And 2, the drivers sunvisor droops down about 1/3 of the way and wont stay all the way up. Is there a DIY for this or should I get another visor?

I would do KYB struts and progress springs. Perfect ride height and at the same time not that much stiffer compared to OEM. In fact, I found my ride to be smoother after replacing the worn OEM parts.

Either get a new set of rear springs or get a spring spacer to put under the springs that are already there. Don't get KYBs unless you want to feel every pebble on the road.
