There are new lowering springs available for the altima sedan /coupe from Sprint performance springs. That now makes three options with H&R and Eibachs.

I just emailed them to know the drop and possibly the springs rates too.I'm post back when they reply

btw, they can be bought on ebay for about 200$

I wish a company would step up and make: (A) Shorter (B) stock stiffness springs OR (A) Longer (B) softer springs to provide the same lowering while maintaining stock ride quality. Don't make me do the calculations for spring cutting Let's hope Sprint will be my salvation 2.0"/2.0" squishy drop

You CAN NOT have a 2" drop with stock feel to the springs! You would bottom out on every bump! To lower a car you must have STIFFER springs to prevent it! Springs like the Eibach are increasing-rate springs, which means they get stiffer as they compress. This is the ultimate in terms of comfort and performance on a shorter (lower) spring. No 'magic pill' exists in the world of lowered cars.

Yeah... I know they're progressive... I'm already bottoming out on my Eibach's and the front bumper has been taking a beating... Which is really weird @_@ That's how terrible the roads here are. Going back to stock suspension soon! Looking forward to Wednesday No mo road rumbling constantly... I hope.

Ive had no issues with my springs, and ive had them since the first groupbuy. You will miss them, and im not sure if it matters but you had to cut your bump stops when they were installed.

Erm...didn't you read the instructions? I've never dropped a car without being explicitly instructed to cut the bumpstops. Depending on the degree of the drop and the springrate of the new springs, if you don't cut the bumpstops you'll bottom out on big bumps. Trust me...I forgot to cut them on my last car...ouch.

That's the problem with not having your own space and equipment... The shop I go to was recommended by a friend but in my mind, their work is only close to competent though... At the same time, I've been going to them for a bit so I don't want to go through the process of finding another place. If someone has any suggestions for OC, CA, please, do tell I doubt I'll miss the Eibach's.

I just got off the phone with a sprint representative.. He said the drop is going to be a 2inch drop all the way around, but wont be out for at least another 8 weeks.

The quality of Sprint springs is not as high as the Eibach's. You may be lower to the ground but be prepared for a bad ride and blown shocks. I had Sprint springs on a previous car, and they suck, to be blunt.
