That picture? It's called a sig, check your profile and edit it. Keep the size within reason.

The right ones. Check tein and eibach. There are probably 10 other name brands out there that make lowering springs for a Maxima. Time for you to do some research and decide which ones are right for you.

The more they compress the stiffer they get. Thus they are a progressive rate.

Good unless your suspension bottoms out first.

Dunno, but I've only driven with Eibachs and they are too stiff. Hit a few potholes with those 20's and you will be dealing with a steering wheel shimmy.

The stock suspension is soft compared to an eibach-equipped suspension.
