Just got my Eibach Pro-kit springs, motegi traklite wheels, and toyo proxes 4 tires installed/mounted last night. Here are a couple before and after pictures to see the comparison. Comments and/or different angle requests would be great!

Note: two of the motegi center caps were damaged so I need to send them back to American Racing Monday. Also, springs will settle about another 1/2 inch lower over the next couple weeks.

Stock wheels look better IMO.

Same here. I thought stock wheels are the new ones. Did you paint the calipers too? SE-R logo looks better on it.

Aw, why paint over the cool 'SE-R' thing on the calipers? The wheels are nice, but the stock ones would look just as good if they were painted gunmetal.

don't even get me started on the painted calipers... dude that put the springs in painted them with out even asking about it. i should have just done the install myself but i don't have any free time in the near future and i was growing impatient. it will be addressed with the shop when they open up tomorrow. the traklites are a 1 pc forged wheel and only weigh 14 lbs, that's why i went with those.

I'd be asking for free pads for life ha. I was planning to ask the same question, and what kind of drop did it put on the car? (sorry if you already started it, I was in a hurry to see the sexy lil car)

dropped 1.5" in front, 1.0" in back. obviously springs take a little while to fully settle, so in a week or two after UPS finds my brm exhaust that they seem to have lost, i'll get that on there and clean up the car up real nice, then post some more pictures and a soundclip.

The new wheels look good, and many people fail to realize that light wheels actually improve performance quite a bit. Your Sentra is one of the only nice looking '07's Ive seen.

The only thing that strikes me as odd is the overall bodyline of the car. If you notice, it abruptly stops at the front door, mainly because the hood is so much higher than the door line. To me it just looks weird, I wonder why Nissan didnt make the overall line flow better?
