So did u found out a way to adjust the front camber after it is install? or do we still have to adjust it b4 we install it , which is kinda a pain

[michaelthepsycho]

Not the height. The side gaps! The part that NISSAN messed up, not you or the coilovers can fix.

If you read my review, I explained why it's not drop. These coilovers are fully adjustable. You can adjust these to your style. i.e slam or stock height.

:P

Not yet. I haven't adjusted mine yet as I haven't rub in the front. The only reason I see to adjust the front camber is for aggressive wheel setups or to correct your alignment.

I apologize. It was hard to understand what you were talking about in the first place. I am still kind of confuse but I think I know what you mean now.

man......im trying to get on this but damn shipping is gonna cost me an extra $138!!! I guess hawaii isnt part of the US when it comes to "free shipping to US"!!

Ok,..just saw this thread and read the GB thread as well and I'm all over this. However, The only thing that is concerning is the camber adjustment. Vince, I know you said that you haven't (at the time of writing) messed with the height. Basically you installed the coilovers the way they came. In doing that did you noticed a lot of camber on the front and rear wheels? Not being able to adjust it makes me leary on getting these. Frankly I don't want to be chewing up new tires because of the camber or taking off the setup to adjust the camber everytime I need an alignment.

This goes for a lot companies when shipping to Hawaii. This is not a light weight package, the box is 60lbs!

Installing these type of suspension parts, it is recommend to get an alignment. A lifetime alignment would be great in this situation. Though I didn't notice much camber in the front. If anything, it is very minimal and should not wear the tires out. But for the rears, there is a slight camber, a little more than Eibach's. This is where you may need to look closely at your tires. If that is the case, get an alignment asap. Hopefully the OEM rear camber can be adjusted enough.

i'm not sure if this was answered.. but is the coilovers only for the coupe.. or can this fit the sedan as well? and how much are we looking at for this.. ?

[mcheddadi]

fits all the 07+ altima sedans

[Loop]

how much are we looking at for this.. ?

Circuit Motorsport is having a group buy on these coilovers for $999 shipped. Thread: zer...axima

i'm new to this.. but what is the difference between the group buy and just buying straight from circuitmotorsports.com they offer $999 w/ free shipping as well. i thought having a group buy might get us a discount since there would be a lot of buyers?..

[mcheddadi]

lol didn't notice that it was the same price as the GB...that sucks....i'll go ask them what the hell

http://circuitmotorsports.net/...=7746

[hamandbacon]

yea that was the only reason why i didnt buy the coilovers now because it wouldnt make any different if i bought it later since its the same price anyways

[MorningViewCoupe]

yes finally coilovers for the coupe....Looks amazing..Will be buying soon.

[vqaltima]

That is one of the best altima coupes I've seen.

[dangeris]

same price as advertised?..yeah..ok,..that's not a group buy price at all...it's like an airline telling you they'll fly you half way to your destination at full advertised price yeah..i d on't think so

[LongBeachCoupe]

Do i hear $850 delivered? Anyone? That would be a GB price!

We are getting a little off topic.

No, coilovers are different. I can only see that if they get 30+ people in. CMS is already doing a great job in getting the first batch. Its very limited production still.

Off topic: I just bought new Project Kics R40 neo chrome lugs to replace my Rays. Personally I think they will look better than having the anodized red color.

[mynority]

dude, the car looks awesome, i just sent payment. one question tho is have u driven over a speed bump? id imagine that would cause problems for me considering ny thinks its a good idea to put a crapload of big chunks of cement in the middle of the road. but YAY now i have coilovers and no money

Just got it today around 7pm .. started installing it at 8pm .. got done at 12(Ran into some problem with the studs on my car, since dealership strip 2 of it ..gotta take it back again! they strip the front left first 2 fix it... now i found out my rear has 2 strip lugs) now im running on 3nuts for my left rear GAY! .. overall installation was a breeze a lot easier then springs. I have a sand like noise coming from the back not sure wth it is but gonna check 2mrw when i drop it to the floor =]

as of now stock height im sitting 5 in off the ground. Ride quality is great for coilovers .. i cant agree with Loop about being smoother then springs =/ i think my springs was smoother .. this is more stiffer even on max soft lol. Houston roads = crap

My the handling is like 100% more improve compare to my old springs/oemshocks. Like a dream come true =]

Overall - I freaking give a

Will make a thread with pix and all later :O sorry loop for thread jacking

oh btw my kit did not come with the m12x1.25 i had to go to autozone for it.

springs too harsh on bumpy roads?

[Flores45]

springs too harsh on bumpy roads?

I have them on the softest setting and they are still abit harsh.But thats only on crappy roads and i also have 20' rims.

[mcheddadi]

you can always ask for softer springs if the 7K front and rear are too harsh guys!

Not sure what sand noise is. Could you explain more? Make sure to preload the rear when installing.

Take in consideration when lowering the car even more, the ride tends to get more harsh. My ride is not harsh and I am running 15F/15R.
