Another Newbie question...Eibach Suspension... etc..

[jh3p]

Not that i'm a newbie owner. I bought one late 07/ early 08 (i cant remember)

Anyway, that's not important. I've been wanting to drop my coupe for a while now, however everytime I see pics posted of dropped coupes, i see no difference in height.... Does it take a long time for the coils to break in? And if so, can anyone who has 19" wheels + a dropkit post a pic please?

And if not, are all the dropkits for the coupe not that big of a drop? I want atleast the height of a 350z and then some..not brushing against the floor, but you know...a little lower than a stock 350z.

my friend who drives the 350z told me that it felt like he was on a suv driving my stock altima cuz it was so high up...

Not sure if you guys can tell the height difference in these photos but this is my altima and a friends 350z

Haha you arent going to get anywhere near the height of the z...

Your friend is right, the stock height is feels like a 4 by 4 off road suv.

The eibachs are just springs and they drop the car 1.4 inches in the front and 1 inch in the back. The cost is about 200$.

There are coilovers out but they cost about 800$ and have gotten pretty crappy reviews. Majority of the forum is rocking the eibachs.

the car looks better and handles better with this upgrade.

thats exactly what i needed to know, thanks dldjros. I usually dont post questions like that cuz ppl start flaming me haha thanks

[dldjros69]

No problem, your welcome.

This is a pretty good forum, not to many flammers. A few badd apples but u have that anywhere.

So did you decide on what you are doing?

I sat in a 350z couple days ago for the first time. Yeah... compared to A/C.... sitting in 350z felt almost like laying down~ Those seats are very close to the floor... so I'm thinking no matter how much you drop your A/C.. it's still gonna feel higher

Dang Brian,...that's the second thread I've seen where people are putting very "generic" titles...

[jh3p]

woops my bad. does anyone know if there are any other companys that want to make (lower) dropkits? Maybe I'll just cut the springs...(kidding)Or maybe I'll put the eibachs on a really really heavy car and have it compress the springs to the max....(partially kidding)
