Ok Ive search and I couldnt find the diameter of the coil springs for my Altima. Reason I ask is because instead of good ol Eibach Springs, why not use the G35 coupe springs or even the 350Z springs? I will be measuring soon cause its bugging me beyond belief. !!

So has anyone attempted G coupe or Z springs in their SEDAN altima.? LOL

I have the FSM for all 3 cars (Altima, G, and Z)- no info

I have a Z and the Altima is my Girls car but she LOVES driving my car cause it doesnt have body roll. I just got her some G35 rims and ive rolled her fenders. Now Im moving on to the Drop...

Im going to courtesy nissan and taking my stock Z springs and compare them to Altima. Also getting the SE-R shocks for the front and also the SE-R rear Sway (since its pretty much the same as NISMO)

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Ok no responses...eh, oh well.. I did my homework, and of course the Z springs wouldnt fit. So I got Altima SE-R struts all around, SE-R Sway bar and I went ahead and got the Eibach pro kit.

BEFORE INSTALL Look at the wheel gap on the front and rear

Front - with everything installed

Rear with everything installed

It took me about 3 hrs to do everything, thats taking my time and drinkin some beers along the way.

Comments welcome...

Negative she was rubbing in the rear...

and the tires already on there are 245/45but the take note this is a staggered setup so the fronts are 225/45 and the rears are 245/45's

I think the wheel gap is still big but not nearly as big as it was.. My girl likes the ride so thats all I care about..
