I might have to go back to the stock springs. I know, a horrible terrible thought at best. The reason for this is that I'm looking at buying a house and the driveway scrapes the bottom of my car every time pretty badly. I looked into how much it would cost for me to fix the driveway if i buy this house, and i could basically buy another car.

This all being said, does anyone know where i can get new bump stops?

Before anyone goes and tries to talk me out of it:

New house with inground pool and a hot tub built into my deck + a happy female which in turn makes me happy >>>>>>> having eibachs on the car.

Why don't you look around for something you can buy to decrease the slope of the driveway entrance? IE- I've seen folks use wood.

Honestly, I just park on the street.

get air ride, 3K$ and you're set. there is already a kit available for us but only an altima sedan has it as of now. you'd be the first altima coupe ever to sport it. FTW!

Update:

Crisis avoided (I think). We put another offer in on a different house with a level driveway. The house has no pool or hot tub ( ) but I've convinced the female decision maker that its more house for the money. The house I was posting up about earlier is a short sale, and about 10% of those offers get accepted by the banks, and you can withdraw your offer without any penalty (which I'm doing now)

Whew. That was close.

And glad to hear you won't have to be dealing with steep driveways anymore. I however still have to maneuver this one out when I get home... (w/out springs)

I can hear the noises that my car would make coming down that slope in my head.

The sticker is off now, It really served no purpose at all, with almost no meaning behind it. I think I just really wanted a window banner
