which springs?

i can't decide if i want to get the eibach pro kit or tein s tech for my 2006 altima 3.5 SE. which springs would ride the best, and give me a nice drop. i don't want to be bouncing around the streets as i try to drive to work. also, should i pair the lowering springs with kyb gr2's?

main thing i'm worried about is ride quality. and getting rid of the 4x4 gap

Then you want Prokits or Tein Htechs.

S-techs arent too bad...i just dont know how the prokits and h-techs rides...but i can say the s-techs can get pretty bouncy on a rough road..but its like stock cruisin.. a little bit lower than prokit also

what do you mean by bouncy .?

I have a textbook "rough ride", 20" lowered . I've never gotten a complaint of a rough ride from my older folks, (mom, grandma, dad) . Yes its somewhat stiff, but I rather have this setup than the stock "floating ride"

my question was rhetorical , the altima doesnt have the same effect as the mid 90 civics that bounced around with cheap springs. I think the R&Din' on spring have gotten much better now.

Tanabe NF210 , they never release them for the altima . its the same drop as prokit , a medium one. Do you have stock wheels?
