k i just installed some 18's on my altima n it raised it some.. so i need to lower it.. iv only seen two brands H&R spring kit and Eibach pro kit... anyone has any opinions on the H&R's? or should i just simply go with Eibach? Also how much does the ride change? really bumpy or even at all bumpy?

thnx

Can you post a photo of how it looks raised up with the 18's? Does it look bad?

It's kinda weird how your front is higher than your rear. I think that Eibach are pretty good.

Do you have mismatched tire sizes? It's hard to tell from the pictures but to me it looks like the car is even but the front tire is smaller than the back one.

Yea, he have two set of tires going on. You can tell that the sidewall for the front wheel is much thinner than the rear.

I thought so. If have the properly sized tires, it shouldn't raise or lower your car at all.

The setup on the rear wheels look great without lowering in my opinion... I hope they look that good on my sedan

yeah i hear ya, i've got the same thing going with smaller front tires and rears cause they're staggered. it's really funky how the altimas have a bigger gap in the front than the back, but if you get eibach's it'll help that gap difference since the fronts lower 1.4" and the rears only lower 1". i believe the H&R's lower the same distance front and back so it'll still be uneven
