FINALLY LOWERED :D

[hexapod]

So I finally lowered my car with the Eibach Lowering Kit. I can't say that I'm disappointed, but I do wish that it was a little more even then what it is right now.



So my next plan is investing in a C-Mod grille, just to get rid of those ugly chrome bars on the front of our altimas. And I saw that LongBeachCoupe got the eyelids on his car, but not the vinyl stickes but ones that'll actually look like it's part of the car, so I think ima invest in those too because I HATE those orange lights. But I've really wanted to paint my calipers a nice light metallic bluish color just to add a little color because my car looks a little dull right now. Once it gets a little closer to the winter time, then i'll start worrying about foglights.

So what do you guys think?

The vinyl look pretty dang close to being a part of the car. The other type I've seen and there's not a huge difference to me. One problem you'll run into is fitment being an issue with them, well, never mind, they'll FIT but they won't go with the lines exactly how you want. The vinyl can be adjusted more easily.

I have the vinyl eye lids and like them, minus the cat scratches I have on them of course, lol... Eventually though I'm going to get some new headlights and do some major work on them and just get rid of the eye lids.

And I will say, by your photo there, it looks like your front is higher than your back. With mine, my back is still higher than my front which is how it's suppose to be.

so did the guy mess up on my installation? Well I had my old springs in the trunk at the time of this picture but that shouldn't make that huge of a difference right? O.o

My front seems to look a bit higher than the back as well, but im guessing it should settle a bit. its only been a week.

[Ranga14]

Yeah, I forget they do have to settle.

[hexapod]

Ohh okay. Lol. But what happens if after I wait and let it settle, but it doesn't even out? Will gettin an alignment help?

[Ranga14]

If you haven't gotten an alignment, DO IT NOW.

[mmx23z]

i still have yet to get an alignment & ive been lowered for about a yr now... my tires arent pretty lol gonna do it asap! lol

[masterbeatty]

Wait a few weeks then get it aligned. I paid $145 with tax for lifetime alignment from firestone but thats in washington though but the cost was $135, im not sure what the sales tax is in CA. Check the clearence every day or two till they settle in. I waited til around 2k miles until i got my car aligned.

[Ranga14]

I waited about 2, maybe 3 weeks and that's pushing it. Not getting it aligned can potentially tear up your tires.

[hexapod]

Yeah, I think i'm gonna go get it next week..I haven't driven very much with it yet :\
