Default Lowered on Some Gold

I ordered the XXR 962, but there was a mix up and they put the 518's on. Should I keep these or go for the 962's. Also I just lowered it on some Tanabe Nf's and I would be lying if I didn't say it rides softer and quieter then stock. I love it. Opinions please !

Thanks guys for your comments. To reply to some questions too...... yes the car is lowered on Tanabe NF springs. I just put them on last night and drove no more then 15 miles on them. Should settle a bit. This is my wife's car actually and I didn't want her to destroy it around town. To be honest the picks make it look a little high. There is two finger gap in front and 2.5 in the back. I think the votes are split so far. Its a tough choice.

I hate sportmax wheels. Had them before, hated them, never buying again.

But if you MUST choose a sportmax wheel, go with the 962. Look at my sig, you'll find pix of the 962 on my previous Maxima.

Ask your wife which wheels she likes better, since it's her car and she'll be the one driving it... a happy wife is a happy life.

The 518's are different, but I like the 962's in gold much better.
