New Red Rims & Leather! 2012 Coupe

[HumbleCali]

have u done ANY research on how much it drops with springs?? Phenom is slammed on coils, even if u drop it on Eibachs it will look 10x better...but its your car and if u like the four wheel drive look then so be it...but when u roll up to a meet and they all point and laugh dont say NICO didnt warn you!!!

WERD if u dont slam it dont mod it also im putting my little whore on air ride by december

What do you mean "if u dont slam it dont mod it?"


"TO EACH THEIR OWN"


I made the post to show what changes I had done, not to request for a hail of criticism. To me dropping it looks like Im a Wanna be Japanese street racer. "To each their own" As long as I like it, thats all that matters........

...and Im putting my little whore on slide ride, whats the use for wheels when it can just glide along on the body frame right?

I'll agree that from the pics I see, the wheel gap looks proportional all around and looks fine. It isn't insane or too tall. It's "fine" and I agree 100% with you that lowering it even 1" would mean that all the little things you didn't have to worry about will now start to come bite you every time you get close to a curb etc. I know from my driving and parking habits, and routes I take that I would munch that bumper on the curb in less than 2 days. I wouldn't remember that my car is lowered and would run into sidewalk/curb/parking dividers every now and then and would piss myself off. Which is half the reason why I haven't lowered mine. The other half being cost - lowering with springs only would be cheaper but then I'd wear the stock struts out - something I already spent $300 replacing due to another reason. If I get a complete set I'm setting myself back a lot more $$$ which is not what I want to do. Hmm.... dilemma.

Awesome! How did you come up with the idea? And where did you find the Red Plasti-Dip?!?

Idk if your being sarcastic or serious, this forum is so chaotic sometimes .... But if You mean the red circle around the wheel, thats how it was made, its Tenzo. And what idea?

Haha wow you guys are mean. He doesn't want to lower his car, chill out.

It doesn't seem like you want to drop it BUT if you do want to drop it and the only thing keeping you from doing so is being afraid of scratching your bumper / curbing / driveway etc then:

1. Whether you're lowered or not you really shouldn't be parking your car to where its near the VERY front of the parking space near the curb / cement thing that stops the wheels. Just park with an even amount of space between your car and the the front / rear / end of the parking space all around
2. You shouldn't be relaxed about running over curbs and stuff when you're not lowered. Running over curbs is ALWAYS bad lol. Don't wanna mess up your wheels too!
3. Get wood for your driveway. Some people think it's silly but if you really want that look ( I don't think you do but just saying) then you gotta do what you gotta do.

To me dropping it looks like Im a Wanna be Japanese street racer.

lol. If you see someone SLAMMED, chances are you will catch them driving slow most the time, quite the opposite of Japanese street racer. Can't go fast and be super low unless you're on a track.

if u dont slam it dont mod it

I disagree big time lol. How can you say that? So many other elements of modding than suspension. BUT I say if you're gonna lower it, don't settle for springs. Coilovers or nothing at all. Full height adjustment, dampening, front camber depending, and the handling / body roll reduction is great! And not all coilovers are $900+. And THEN there's used coilovers.

ANDDD most of the time, scraping isn't as bad as you think. And you usually scrape underneath your bumper. I don't think our bumpers are polyurethane, but when I used to "curb" my bumper when I parked, the bumper actually slides over the curb and forces itself over the curb (almost like how poly material behaves). You won't crack your bumper or scratch it even unless you hit it head on which requires you to be really low. And this cannot be done with normal coilovers even on the lowest setting. I believe. Now if you take out your collars then you might be able to crack it.

Don't not want to lower your car because other people say its fine. And don't get springs because people tell you your wheel gap is horrendous either

[ciscokid24]

Nice rims and steering wheel. As for the body height, you don't have to "slam" it to get a nice lower stance. I did a subtle lowering on my '11 Coupe with H&R springs (similar to Eibachs) to get rid of that awful (IMO) front wheel gap. It dropped about 1.5" front and 1" rear. Check out my post from a few months ago with before and after pics and review: h-r-springs-on-altima-coupe-before-afte ... 32309.html

The only time I scraped underneath was the first couple of days after install on speed bumps from taking them too fast. Haven't scraped since then, just have to take speed bumps a little slower than before (don't have to crawl over 'em). No issues with normal driveways, steeper ones just take more of an angle.

I made the post to show what changes I had done, not to request for a hail of criticism. To me dropping it looks like Im a Wanna be Japanese street racer. "To each their own" As long as I like it, thats all that matters........

I learned a long time ago on a Harley forum I was on that whenever you post pics of your vehicle, it's pretty much an open invitation for critcism. You have to take the bad with the good. That's just the nature of the online beast. Personally, I would drop your's similar to mine, 'cause I didn't want mine looking like a Japanese street racer either. I also didn't want to worry about scraping all the time, which I don't.

Your coupe is pretty nice, dropped or not. Enjoy the ride...

Yap, I totally agree. And Yeah, its not just Scratching the bumper Im worried about, Its also money: whether you consider $200-300 nothing, its still a lot for me, Because Ive already spent a lot on the car itself. And its also I dont want make anymore more mods to it like that (springs, coils, Lowering/dropping, etc..) because I preffer not to change stuff from the original way it is, despite the fact that I changed the rims. And its also most importantly: Im not into that type of look, in the end its about what you like, whether Im the only 1 out of 250,000 people that dont like the look, I still dont like the look.....

um.... No I was being serious. But I guess you were dying to show off your Fantastic collection of FailBlog photos....

Anyways, Because theres nothing there displaying a image at least on my computer, its just a blank box with a "X" in the middle as if your picture link is broken....

Maby its just my computer making your avatar blank, or maby your avatar really should stay like that since you DONT own a coupe, but wish that you did by spending all your time trolling in the "coupe" section. Here, I think your a little lost, this is where you and your 2007 3.5 sedan are supposed to be:
altima-sedan.html Notice it says "Sedan" ...RCboy, grab another bag of popcorn for me to!

[coupecrazy1232]

I dont own a coupe, you gonna try and tell me to leave too?? Good luck with that. Oh and about the avatar, if you want to put your handle on the pic how about you do it in a tasteful way and not use paint...

Ha, are you kidding, the Z's are BADASS! Thats the car I wish I had, lol. ...and Nothing wrong with owning a sedan and being in this topic except when he decides to come out of no where just to start an issue & hadnt even made a previous post in this topic.....dont see much productivity in that. Like "Flores45" hes got a badass sedan and hes actually helping out in the forum. Besides, Im just having fun!

...I actually used photoshop CS4 to "splatter" my handle on the pic. Didnt care about cosmetics, just wanted to get my text on it. Its just a picture people, just a picture. My oh my...
