Sprint springs are to low for the Maxima. There's not enough suspension travel.

My sig pic is an H&R drop. I came down almost 1-3/4 in the front. The Maxima only has about 3 inches of suspension travel stock. So if Sprint springs drop another 3/4, that leaves you with about 1/2 inch of suspension travel.

That my friend is called math, not common sense.

Seems that some cars drop more then others. Based on what options you have, auto or manual tranny, some cars are heaviery then others. My SE-L is a loaded Auto, with California Emissions. It's heavier then most Max's by prolly 250 lbs. Thats why my drop with H&R is considerable.

Back to your original question..... If the installer pulls max positive camber when he installs the springs you should be OK. The only way to really find out if you need them is when you take your car in for an alignment. If camber is still out of spec, your going to need the camber bolts.

Any good alignment shop should have these in stock.

I still don't recommend Sprint springs. They are known to ride horrable and in some cases actually blow the front upper strut mounts.

Who cares about H&R and Sprints. I dont mind about travel.. If you want get Sprints Suspension, go for it. I dont think you need camber kit.. I have Ground Control/Tokico shocks on my maxima and I lower 3 inches all around.. There is no problem at all.. I dont need camber kit because I dont see any tires thread mark show rubbing or damage.. Why people lower Maxima 1 or 1.5 inches drop? It's not low enough for me and there are more room for fender gap..

NO FIGHT OR BLAME ME OK.. I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE SAY GROUND CONTROL COILOVER are bad for MAXIMA.. WHATEVER!!!!! QUIT WORRY ABOUT RUBBING TIRES OR SCARE OF HURTING THE MAXIMA.. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE MAXIMA WITH ANY KINDS OF LOWER SPRING OR COILOVER..

People say AGX are bad shocks for lowering the Maxima.. Tokico and Koni are the best for lowering the car... I have Tokico Shocks/ Ground Control on my Maxima and it ride great.. I dont mind about why people say it ride harsh and bouncy.. MAn Im tired of hearing people saying that... WHO CARE.. Also I have experience using Coilover on Honda Civic.. How can it wont bounce with lower spring.. If you want lower your car with Sprints, Ground Control, Tein, or JIC.. GO FOR IT.. I DONT LIKE H&R, PROGRESS, OR EIBACH that lower 1 inch drop.. DANG It look stock height and doesnt lower enough.. NO FIGHT OR ARGUE WITH ME..

I never heard agx's r bad for lowering the car. Infact, the dude from maxxximum tunning told me they were topof the line. Where do I get sprint springs and agx's for the best price?

Thumbs up

GO to Adventon.com, Modacar.com, Optauto.com, cattman.com and Southwestautowork.com.. I think southwestatuowork.com is the cheapest prices you can buy.. Try and go there to see what happen.. Keep it up and dont worry about other people saying about lowering the car.. It's your car and do whenever make you happy...
