Hey everyone, I am very new to Nissan's so this might sound like a stupid question. I have a 2003 Altima sedan SE 5 speed. I also have a set of 03+ 350z coilovers. Is there anyway that I could use those to lower the Altima instead of purchasing new coils. Im not a car newb or anything Ive just always been into Hondas. Im not trying to butcher the car to make them fit or anything I was just wondering since I have them there might be some small mod I could do or maybe they even bolt right up? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

i wouldn't try it. those coils are setup for a car with a completely different weight distribution, so even if you managed to get them on you would be putting stress on a part not even designed for the car. if anything, just sell the 350z coils and use that money to get a set for your altima.
