S-tech spring question

I bought 03 max a few months ago that had S-tech lowering spring on it with factory struts that were blown(horrible bouncey ride). I bought Tokico Illumina struts and installed them the ride is much better I have the front on 4and rears on 5. Nice and firm no more bouncey ride. But to be the ride is to stiff for me. When I hit overpasses or large bumps in the road almost jars your teeth. I know S-tech lower the car more than any other spring is there a lowering spring that offers a better ride?

How do Progressive or Eibach compare to S-Techs.

all of them offer a better ride. S-techs are junk spring rates and for looks only.

Buy some eibachs, and the ride and handling will improve, and won't kill your struts.

For a 5th gen, Eibachs are preferred over s-techs.

Now, I'm closing this thread because it's been here too long already, which is not the forum where it should be anyhow. Please read the STICKY in the 5th gen section that specifically addresses questions regarding springs and struts for the 5th gen maxima if you want more information.

thanks.
