Hey guys just got my eibach pro kit installed on my 08 altima coupe 2.5s. They look great. I will post pics soon as soon as i clean up my car. I got a question though. When I got in my car after having the mechanic do it. I slowly turned the wheel to start drving and noticed a slight creaking type noise and felt a good sense of stifness. The mechanic said that it was completely normal and that will completely go away after about 2 weeks. I just want to make sure that it is just do to new springs and stiffness. Please help!

It might be the springs just settling, as I know they do ultimately drop a little bit more than advertised (not a lot at all, though). I'm sure it's something that'll go away.

What he said, the noise will eventually go away.

Looks great bro! I like pic #2 the best

Also that reminds me I need to start thinking about putting my winter wheels on. I painted my wife's 2.5s stock wheels similar to your plastidipped ones to use as winter wheels.

The Grille was a bit of a pain. But all it takes is patience and a little bit of trial and error. I am enjoying wrapping these parts. I think it's all Carbon fibered out though.

Thanks I really appreciate it. I am not mechanically inclined what soever. So to do any of this stuff I've been doing. I'm pretty darn proud of myself. And it's 10 times more fulfilling when you can say you did it yourself.
