Suspension info here.

Tighten your spoiler up if need be. If not here are a few options.

that is perty sexy, i was thinking something more like a nascar wing. not high though, something low profile to keep the rear planted but not create to much lift on the front end being a fwd car and all

I'm getting Vogtlands with KYB GR-2's. On gen 5 maximas despite the fact that they are OEM replacements the GR2's work fine even with a 1.4 drop. They survive winters without freezing, there haven't been bumpstop issues, they soften up a bit after a few months creating a pretty comfy ride... and the combo only costs like $400.

Oh and your spoiler situation... what, um, does the stock max spoiler really underperform at highway speeds? ... like an 80mph lane change with an empty car with 1/8th of a tank of gas. If so, then yeah, what would be more functional without looking, uhh, just dumb?

actually most of my driving in my max is to rescue scenes so im usually empty car, 1/4tank and 80 is the lane change 100-120 is normal speed. benifits of a emergency rescue responder. i of course keep an idea of traffic conditions and have lights and sirens on my car. but its a real strait highway drive to my firetruck and im cleared by all local pd.
