Racingline proformance lowering springs

[deepseaweb]

Has anyone tried the racingline lowering springs and strut bar?

no.


lol, strut bar yes, a lot of people have that. Unsure about the lowering springs. Didn't even know they had them. The popular choice is the Eibachs.

Have a link for the springs? Ohh 2005 altima.. hrm.

Have them and love them both. If you're going with springs I think they're the best due to the even drop. I don't like how the other springs make the rear look like its sagging or don't lower the front enough to properly deal with the ridiculous wheel gap. Handling wise they're great and while some people think the ride is harsh I don't think its bad at all for a 2" drop. The strut bar made a noticeable difference immediately and at this point I wouldn't like to be reminded what the car was like before it.

Thanks for they post! I am installing everything after so I am pretty excited. I will post some pictures. I was looking at the racingline exhaust system, what do you think of that?

Old picture and its settled a tiny bit since it was taken but it clearly shows the even drop.

Does it rub? Did you have to roll the fenders?

I tried to buy me a pair of those rims aswell but never happened. I have the 3.5 se model not se-r.

I've had the rear tucked under weight and I've definitely bottomed the front out and it's never rubbed. I've said this numerous times about these springs but I'll say it again. The only issue that people have with these and any other 2" lowering spring up front is if you aren't careful going over speedbumps or hitting dips in the road going too fast you're going to beat up your y pipe. I've seen everything from flat spots to straight up dents. It's an unfortunate trade off and design from Nissan since the y pipe hangs lower than the subframe.

But if you don't drive like an ***hole and go slow of bumps like you should anyways would you be fine? Do you have to go at a angle on large speed bumps? My base is full of them.
