The ABSOLUTE best thing to do to improve handling on your max, is to install a rear sway bar.
The rear sway bar alone will dramatically decrease your car's body roll when going around a curve.
Also, and spring that lowers your car, is going to stiffen the ride, so you'll have to find a balance between performance and comfort.
If you've ever ridden in a luxury car, like the good ol' caddy, you'll see that the ride is smooth as silk, but going over bumps the car will bounce up and down. Going around curves, the luxury car will lean like a mofo..
The purpose of the "shock absorber" is not to absorb the shock of bumps on the road. That is the job of the springs. The purpose of the shock is actually to dampen the oscillation (bouncing up and down) of the springs.
Also, the lower your tire profile, the rougher the ride... remember, your tire height acts as a cushion. So the smaller the height, the less the cushion.

I have a 2001 Maxima GXE, would like to get input on making:
The suspension tighter, but not to impact ride quality too much.
I tired progressive springs and NGY shicks on my Camry, but bottomed out too much.
Exhaust a little more pronounced
Any ideas on products, methods? Any input greatly appreciated.
