So I got my Sportlines installed, 1.7 inch drop front and rear. Looks way better!

Enjoy!

BEFORE*cough 4x4 cough*

AFTER with Sportlines in 1.7" drop front and rearwooot!! Woot!!



Please don't look at my grill-less front, I was trying to do a DIY grill change and it didn't work out as planned, so I am going to look for a new grill....

Next up is black out the tails and headlights.....

And I will have some better pics in the future once the grill is on and the lights are blacked out.

Stiffer springs = more road vibrations. You're probably just feeling that.

Very cool.

That car is kinda growing on me... My GF has an 07, Diamond Graphite, with black leather, and I think it's due for a drop and some billet... maybe some wheels and tinted tails....

Damn dog! The Sentra looks sick lowered! I already ordered my lowering springs so I can't wait for them to get here so I can have them installed!

I got my grill and decided to paint the chrome ring black, looks much better, IMO.

Hey man!

Car looks sick, everything still working out alright with you car? I was thinking about doing the same drop. Did you end up having to re align the car?

I like the color combo/wheel combo.

Only thing I'm wondering is if the Sportlines will hold up with the stock struts or if you will experience problems.

Sorry if I missed this from a previous post, but is that a custom pain job? I have never seen this color red stock?

Nah, that's the Sonoma Red. I've seen it all the time and didn't go with that color because I wanted flashy red like your SE-R in the pic. Too bad they didn't have Red Alert for the regular Sentra.

The bright red on the SE-R looks really good.

So far stock struts are holding up well. Nothing wrong but the true test will be the winter but honestly, I can't see anything happening with the stock struts. I will probably replace them in 3-4 years.

Wheel alignment is fine, never got one done and the camber looks fine to me. I'm going to go in for an alignment next month. I have had it lowered for over 2 months now and there is no uneven tire wear.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

The only time I've ever seen camber issues is going lower than 2"...on Hondas LOL.
