At what point do you need a camber kit when lowering?
I'm currently on Eibach/Tokico, which is a bit harsh on PA roads compared to stock SE setup (it handles great though).
I got them in a set for $510 from Stillen.
I'm looking at H&R, B&G or Maxspeed for the softer spring, but the drop is lower than Eibach (except possibyl H&R?), possibly making it as harsh as before on OEM-like struts. I guess KYB AGX is the only real choice these days if I swap them out.
Any thoughts on any of the above mentioned springs with AGX?

H&R
Drop: 1.3 – 1.5 inches
Ride Quality: Closest to the stock SE spring. They will give you a nice drop without having a very harsh ride.
Eibach
Drop 1.5 inches in the front 1.3 in the rear
Ride Quality: Comparable to H&R. The difference will be felt though. They are a harder spring then H&R.
Maxspeed
Drop: 1.7 inches in the front and 1.4 inches in the back.
Ride Quality: Almost like they were there stock SE springs.
B+G
Drop: 1.6 inches
Ride Quality: On back roads where it begins to get bumpy ride can become harsh. Smooth on flatter main/highway type roads.
Struts
KYB – AGX
Right now they are one of the most common struts for the Maxima. They have a great reputation with these struts as far as lasting without any problems. They are 8 way adjustableon the back and 4 way adjustable on the front, which means that they have 4 or 8 separate settings on them to control how firm you want them. They firmness is changeable while still on the car unlike some others where you have to remove the wheels.
Cost: Around $400.00
Tokico
These are a direct OEM replacement for your Maxima. Basicly if a strut blows you can get them rplaced with thes under warranty. They are a strut that is not made for the extra work of a big drop but a bit more aggressive than stock. Since they have that somewhat stock side to them your not going to want a very big or harsh drop on these. for more info check uot this link.
