whats going on fellaz!

i bought a 2008 nissan altima coupe 3.5se CVT and looking to upgrade alot. i just need the subject matter experts advice and input.
so i have already installed an AEM cold air intake, stillen crankshaft pulley upgrade,led tailights, and 2.5" straight pipe.
ordered racinglines front and rear endlinks as well as strut tower bar and rear sway bar and a grounding kit.
i have a number of questions so please bear with my noobness lol

COILOVERS....omg ive been doing research and looking all over! i want that helluh flush look. tried getting tien but they are back ordered. been looking at bc racing now but dont want to get the "cheap kine" like ive been reading in different forums. so my question is:

"Should i go with bc or will i be wasting my money?"

with that being said:

"What other parts do i need? i.e camber/alignment kits etc."

WHEELS/TIRES....ok so like i mentioned before i want that helluh flush setup. tires not tucked under just dropped flush. if anyone has any advice on how i can get there (size/width of wheels and tire sizes) id appreciate it.

EXHAUST...i took mine into a shop to do. cost me $400 for straight test pipes and black titanium tips. now my question is:

"Can i install racinglines y-pipe with this setup or do i need to convert over to catback?

HEADLIGHTS...i know nothing about this. i found these ANZO projectors and was wondering "Will it work on my car? is this a conversion?"

I can comment about the headlights. I recently installed the ANZO headlights from stillen in my 08 2.5. They look BEAUTIFUL needless to say. The halo eyes look gorgeous and there are smaller LED that accent the top and make it look even more BA. I installed them myself and it took about an hour, it really wasnt complicated, all you have to do it take off the front bumper which is really easy and there are guides on this site for it.

Good luck!

Thanks bro!

I was wondering if it was a plug n play type of deal. I thought I was gonna have to get technical with wiring n what not. I appreciate it.

Sup doggy, welcome!

I just recently had the TEIN Street Basis coilovers installed. They are niiice. I think BC a lot of people run BC coils or Eibach springs if they go the lowering spring route.

I put a post up few days ago. Got my rear fenders rolled today. Probably going to be upgrading to 19 inch wheels soon here.
