about the camber kit..

is it made for our car, or is it from another car.

i need to buy a camber kit as well, so i would like to know what car it is from.

well, because there are varying opinions out as to the safety of using springs not designed for a particular setup. Springs are not universal, no matter what a manufacturer tries to tell you... that's why companies like Eibach spend so much time in R&D developing a progressive spring set specific for a particular vehicle. If the Eibach springs for the 2.5 and 3.5 A/c are not the same, and are not recommended to be used interchangeably, then why would you expect springs designed for a previous generation of a vehicle (the 4door version no less) to be perfectly interchangeable.

So, will the springs fit... probably! Would I trust them on a highway at 90+ mph on my vehicle? PHHUUUUUCK No, but that's just me. The thing is, people do things with/to springs on their vehicles all the time that they probably shouldn't... and most of the time, nothing terrible happens to their cars. I personally don't consider myself a suspension expert, and when i've spoken to suspension experts from two differnt companies, they both individually warned against using springs not specifically designed/tested/and custom made for my vehicle.

Some folks here may not agree with that, and they may respond by saying that itys OK to use springs from other generations of the same vehicle... but I don't think any of those people are suspension experts either!

None of it was made for the AC.. Fox marketing just slapped together parts from all different stuff to make a show car.

I got eibachs and even I'm worried about my suspension. I'm always scared ill be doing 80+ and hit some pothole while my whole strut comes apart :\

Brian actually never owned the white Altima coupe. It was owned by Turbochargers.com, I purchased it from them.

thanks! i'm sure any1 who had 75 bucks would have so i had to jump on em! i just happened to have an inside man at the shop that helped me out

well this is the one i found on ingalls page made for the 08 altima:http://www.ingallseng.com/mmy....l=881 Part 81260so i just went on ebay, pulled up that number, asked the seller to confirm and bought 2 pairs!

and as for the springs.....from what they told me they are for a 350z! they put it on the coupe and said they worked fine and they are settled in but i would need the camber kit so my tires down wear unevenly. i just hope aall is well when i intall them and drive with em.

Well there's only one way to find out and that's to install those babies and ride 'em out. Good Luck and Congrats on the purchase!

I don't recommend using springs not fitted for your vehicle. I don't recommend modifying those springs or any springs to fit your vehicle. Once you start cutting, you start decreasing the integrity of the spring.

Sell those to someone they will work for and buy a set of eibachs for $150-- they're not expensive and they ride real well!

Do what you want, but I prefer safety first over looks and or cheapness.

Nice deal on the skirts and tails!

oh I get it, your the one from the last thread that bought the white coupe, yeah I wasn't talkning about that one. I was talking about the grey coupe. its not the same one. foxmarketing did two. the grey and the white one.

OHHH that one...yea that one had a small lil fender bender and they have been pretty much just parting it out. Its going to be crushed eventually.

[Curtieson]

Just a thought too....

Find someone with a silver coupe and sell them those side skirts...do they match the stock grey/silver? I almost don't think so...but if they do...trade them to an owner of that color car for the same skirts that are unpainted. You get a skirt that you have to take to get painted (but brand new) but they get skirt already painted and decaled (if they want that.)

i'm so confused..........but OK!!
