haha. I'm guessing that isn't just when it comes to cars, it's just part of life in general.

Eibach or H&R springs.

From past car experience, isn't it "unhealthy" to just have springs? Infiniti's and SUV's is a whole new world for me, so sorry if these questions seem a bit dumb
 
I don't know about what's healthy or not, but I do know what's available. So, you have two choices, Eibach springs or H&R springs. You can replace the struts at the same time. Or you could do an air suspension, but that doesn't sound right for you.

That's what I was getting at about "healthy". Doing springs without struts I always thought will just end up wearing down your struts very quickly
 
Both H&R and Eibachs are designed for use with the stock struts, so it really is all you need for a drop. Consider an alignment kit as well - that's a common side effect from new springs. Toe can be out.

I'm also interested in knowing about the Stillen numbers - before and after? How much money total did you spend on the mod? How long did it take to complete? Any problems with the set-up since the work was completed?

Thanks for the info on the suspension.

As for the stillen S/C, let me just emphasize that I bought this from the dealer with the kit. They install and maintain the kit and cover it under warranty. From researching since I bought the car, and info from the mechanic that installed it, the numbers (crank HP) go from 270(stock) to around 400. With the AWD, there is a large loss of actual WHP. My guess is somewhere between 300 and 330 (leaning more towards 315-330). I'm sure someone else will be able to answer it better then myself though lol

And the only problems with the kit is it has gone through 2 supercharger belts in 40,000 miles
