Hey All!

due to some recent personal changes in my life i traded in my silver 08' altima coupe 3.5 cvt for a black 11' sentra se-r.
it pretty much comes with a few things that i had in my altima like the navigation unit, reverse camera backup, nice stereo speakers (rockford fosgate) and such...
but of course i want to make it "mine" with a few mods.

i am going to tint the windows, already ordered 2 ddm tuning hid kits... 1 for hi/lo kit 5k white for headlights and then 1 for h11 3k yellow for fogs.

1. after that i am definitely thinking of dropping the sentra because the wheel gap is a bit of an eye sore, keeping eibach pro or sport kit in mind... wanted to know if anyone had any feedback on either and what they did when they dropped their late model sentra... need shocks? etc

2. also... has anyone upgrade their se-r interior to leather? slip-over leather-kit?

3. anyone have the greddy ti-c for the se-r? i had the ti-c dual angled exhaust for my AC and boy was it amazing... i know its not gonna sound as deep or powerful as i dont have a v6 anymore but after searching people say its a better sounding exhaust compared to the competition...

4. has anyone replaced the nissan navigation system for an aftermarket and still been able to use the reverse camera? i like the idea of going with a system that has a much bigger screen like a 6- 6.5" touch screen.. the 4.5 is nice but a bit small

i have done some site searches but really havent found specific posts on my questions...

The sport kit is going to provide a lot more drop than the pro kit, so I would be careful in that department, especially with oem shocks and alignment issues.

Hopefully someone with an aftermarket exhaust will post their opinions, but as you already know it will differ quite a bit from the previous vehicle.

When I first saw the post I thought I was going to see some pics in here of your car, so where they at?

1.Pro kit is what is probably the most common springs put on these cars. Its a nice drop without be too much imo. Regardless you will have to get an alignment after you change them out. Just let the car sit over night and drive a little bit before you do so the springs will settle a little bit.

2. I have seen 2 with custom leather seats. It was an online company that did both and they looked awesome. Costed something like 1.5-2.5 grand though.

3.My favorite name brand exhaust for the b16 is the greddy SE. I have never heard the ti-c in person, but i have the SE and it sounds great. Know that both are only an axle-backs(basically only muffler) though, so you will not see much of any hp gains if you are looking for them.

4. I'm sure you could get it to work, but i have no help unfortunately.

You may also want to look into an intake. If you do then your options are k&n(short ram) or injet(cold air), unless you want to try and make your own. Both are great quality. I have k&n and love it.

I installed them a while back but forgot to post.
3k yellow for the fogs and 5k for the hi/lo beams... Have no complaints what so ever and they work perfectly. No flickering at all and they are super bright.

I've had them on 3 cars so far my last car was an aprons coupe and they worked perfectly for 3 years

I recommend them!!

Great! i plan on buying them in a couple of days. i'm pretty much settling with them because they are giving me a lifetime warranty and slightly cheaper than the competition.
