Ok so I got the Eibach springs from Mehdi a couple months ago (thanks mehdi!) and installed them. I think the springs and struts have finaly settled in and I must say I'm surprised how much better/lower it looks. so here are some pics (sorry, the car's dirty)

what are you talking about? thats the good rim :rotfl 1 rim has it pretty bad cuz I actually hit the curb while making a quick right turn lol I might try and get the rims refinished in the future. I didnt like the stock rims at first so I didnt care about them, but now I like them a lot and regret treating them like crap

has anyone heard of this brand of tires? My brother got me these new tires. I never heard of the brand before. So far I've driven about 20 miles on them and they seem to be pretty nice. They're quieter then my stock tires and much more grip as well. I tried a hard launch with traction control off and only got a tiny bit of wheel spin and it launched pretty good. I FLOORED it making a left turn from a stop and got almost no wheel spin! they seem to give a lot of grip. I looked online and the only thing I found was that their a new brand in America and they're from Thailand. Their supposed to be "premium tires" but idk.

idk, I didnt get an alignment yet. I just got new tires and my stock tires (from before I lowered my car) had really bad uneven wear. so idk if this countered it, made it worse, or didnt do anything. I should probably get an alignment pretty soon.

thanks :) idk about coils. In person it looks like theirs ALMOST no gap between the tire and fender. with coils I wouldnt be able to really go any lower, especially with my driveway lol but coils do make it handle better.

another track meet lol but its supposed to be like 90+ degrees tomorrow I heard. maybe the middle of October would be good because it should start cooling down around that time right? basically the colder the better. CVT altimas have no issues with traction so the cold wont affect our launches but it'll make your cars run faster. So I think anything after mid October is good. mid October or early November.

lol nice! I got new tires too. you remember how my stock tires looked lol so it should help a lot. I gotta change my brakes soon and I'm not getting as much money as I thought I was going to be getting so I cant get a whole lot of stuff done anytime soon, I'm gonna have to space it out. I'll get my exhaust tips straightened and probably get the fins put on the rear diffuser and maybe something else.... what side skirts are you getting?
