Hey guys, i just purchased the Eibach Pro Lowering kit for my 2009 2.5 altima coupe... was wondering:

many years ago when i lowered my acura i needed camber kits... will i need to purchase them for this car? or will just the springs be fine?

Thanks in advance

Welcome to NICO Scorpio

To answer you're question no you will not need a camber kit with the eibach pro springs. I've been running mine for well over a year now and no problems with chewed tires or allignments Go for it and install the springs!

tell u the truth it really doesnt make much of a diff believe it or not........like im in pa n theres a s*** ton of snow here too n ive been lowered this whole time n i have the stillen splitter which makes it a lil lower so if u wanted u could still put it on w/out a prob

Interesting

However, instead of taking the chance and getting stuck when it can be avoided... at least for this winter, ill take my chances with that lol, and besides, when i put back my rims ill have them install the springs at the same time while the wheels are off... so i wont have to pay twice for alignment and what not!

Once all that is done ill throw up some pics... without my rims on its just not worth taking pics!

Unfortunately in Quebec their MAJOR ****$ about modified cars... you cant really do anything anymore... ill see what i can get away with

hahahaah small world eh?

its funny cuz ive been checking this site out for a while now but only decided to join now... convenient seeing as i had a question eh? lol sorry!

What section you in? I see you got the 3.5... wicked, unfortunately it was just outside my budget and plus... having lost my license a few times already, i figured 100 less HP might be a good thing for my already heavy foot... at least i got it 6MT

hahahah by ANY chance is the pic of your car taken in the dix30 underground parking! lol

im livin off of boul. Matte in the Rs!

where did you get your eibach kit installed? and what light mods did you do? wanted to convert to HIDs but in order to do this i think i need to remove front bumper and what not...seems like a mission to do this...so if that was the case i figured id wait until i switch it for a stillen front fascia and kill 2 birds with 1 stone

i wanna tint my tailights but my buddy got pulled over many times for this... so im gonna have to pass on doing that... as you know, cops in QC arent cool when it comes to modified cars

I got my springs installed in montreal for 120$ I think. in a muffler shop. but the coilovers I got them in DocDuParebrise on taschereau for 120 $ too. removing the bumpers is real easy there are a couple of plastic plugs to remove bellow the hood and then there is one bolt on each in the fender area bellow the lights and then 3 screws to unbolt bellow the bumper left and then 3 others right. takes 15 minutes to do the whole bumper. there are tutorials here for that and also for the HID kits. And about my other mods :BC Racing coilovers, Injen Intake, 235/55/17 P-Zero tires, Razo RA96 Shift knob, Racingline Short throw shifter, Racingline y-pipe, Racingline Endlinks, Racingline rear sway, TrippleDogGt tunner .
