hey guys, this is my first post so be nice please! I have a 2010 Altima Coupe with a Top Speed cat back exhaust and a cold air intake. Ive been thinking about putting some lowering springs on it. Do yall have any suggestions of who makes the best? H&R, Eibach or Tein? which one rides the best too? Thanks!

Hey buddy, not trying to be a wise a**, but just letting you know you're going to get alot of mixed opinions on this subject. Which is why I'm gonna save the hassle for you and just have you use Nico's Altima Coupe search engine. You may find you're answer there, but mainly it's going to be mixed opinions. It's kinda like that with intakes and exhausts as well ;)

I can tell you whats currently popular and that is the Eibach springs. the give a 1'' drop (1.4'' front and 1'' back I believe). Some will go lower like the H&R springs.

Eibach are very common for our coupes, I Had a pair on my 2012 sr, And they were well worth the install, Its a nice look, the ride not bad for DDf especially if you dont wanna get slammed on coils, Im switching over to Coils for a nice suttle JDM look.

Agree, as well as your fitment guide.

I stickied this in the Altima suspension sub-forum.

Your thread on fitment is in the hopper to be turned into an article actually.

Thanks for taking the time to write them!

I would feel more comfortable purchasing new springs, but thats just me. Not trying to deter you otherwise.

Good luck, and Welcome btw!

Although my friend did buy used Eibach springs for dirt cheap and they are holding up just fine. With that said springs are only a couple hundred and used springs are usually being sold for like 60-70 less give or take so if you can afford it, just buy new springs.
