I recently installed Ksport lowering springs on my car. It's not a Maxima, but pretty darn close ...

The springs claim to drop the car 2.2" in the front and 2.0" in the rear. I have not measured mine to know exactly, but my car is definitely LOW! IMHO, however, it now has a nice, aggressive look to it. The ride, on the other hand, is pretty bouncy and stiff. If you like the looks, you'll have to sacrifice the ride quality. Otherwise, I'd go with other springs such as H&R, Tokico, Tein, or Eibach.

P.S. I am planning to wash my car and take a picture this weekend. I will then post it on here so you can see how low it looks and decide whether it's the look you want for your car.

Im running a set of K-Sport on my 3rd gen Max.

He is right though, it does give it an agressive look, but its a stiff bumpy ride. I dont mind the bumpiness though, reminds me of my 180sx with full track dampers.

This is bone stock:



This is with 2" Drop



Hope the pics come out so you can see the difference.

I have K-sport on my 6th gen. And it depends on what you think is too low. Is it a look thing or a functionalty thing? I am almost 3" lower than stock and I do have to drive a bit different but that come with the territory.Here's a pic:

And a vid:
