Hi, I am looking into lowering my car with H&R springs, but i am also looking into getting new shocks also. I was wondering, is the Tokico HP Blue Just OE replacements? Or will they still blow out with lowering springs like stock shocks? Also another thing i was reading was that maxima have an alignment problem when lowered? Anyone have that problem? such as the car pulling to one side or the rear axle beam needs to be centered? Let me know thanks

No, they are a bit more performance-oriented than OEM and as long as the drop isn't VERY low, it should be fine.

I think H&R springs only come in Sport for the Maxima and if that is the case, a 1.4" and 1.3" drop is pretty mild and the shocks should have no problem with that. As far as the alignment goes, it's generally a rule that you get an alignment done after doing any kind of changes on the suspension.
