So my brother got some new suspension for his B15 SE. It's Spec V struts and Eibach sportline springs. He bought it off a buddy of ours Spec V. He bought the Nismo setup. Anyways, I wanted to post a couple pics cause the car looks sooo hot imo lowered. He's been trying to become a member but having problems.... Anywho heres some pics.

Stock ride height....

Looks good man. Just have him e-mail Fred about the log in problem and he'll straighten everything up for him.

Not too hip on the tailights or the rim paint, but the drop is SWEET.

I have almost the exact same car. Minus said tailights and rim paint... and my drop isn't til next summer... Lookin amazing though.

Oh, tell his friend to watch out for getting the NISMO setup. Same height as stock (almost), non adjustable, and not much performance gain to boot. So I've heard.

Jeez, now I can't wait til next summer... tear... anyone want to donate me $500?

I dunno, I kinda like the bronze powder....

need to see the taillights better though

better to have the black then the damn chrome backing however...(I'm still a believer in just solid red lights, but European market has to have their precious amber...)

Looks good other than the tails. Put the stock ones back on. Some SER Spec V rims would complete it.

What? And deface the 2.0? Need I remind everyone that the 00-01 SE 2.0 w/ PP can handle with an SE-R AND keep up on the straights? That's what happens when you add weight and not much power.

Til the QR gets the bugs out, the SR will still keep up and handle mods better. Period.

No 6 speed and still keeping up... hmmm...

Oh, and I have a real shifter, none of that cable BS.

Rims... you mean the old school 5 spokers or the new 6 spokes from the '04? I'd rock the '04s if I could find a cheap set with decent rubber. Damn Firestone Firehawks (OE tires), they make me want to die, which is why I'm killing them first .

Looks good Josh! Tell Joe it looks hot and I'll have to check it out over winter break.

On a side note...how about you guys stop messing with other cars and get yours running and on the road

Looks good aside from the tails.

You know...I never really noticed before how much the B15 looks like the second gen Altima from the side...interesting.

I love the looks of the car. I'm into colors on cars, on wheels at least. Bronze and black is sexy!! I'm a true tuner I guess j/k

And, dare I say, even the damn lights aren't *horrible*.

The taillights aren't that bad imo. The rim paint was a spur of the moment idea. He's looking to get some aftermarket rims as we speak so we'll see. Yeah our friend with the Spec showed me his car, it actually looks a little higher then the setup he had.

Tail light pics.
