Welcome.

Dropping it should always be first on the list.

That's true but you get A LOT better handling. Just depends on if you can handle a few bumps.

Well since Im the self proclaimed king of white :rotfl I figured now would be a time for my assistance!!

Drop is absolute!! Has to be done
Rims 19" you will be unhappy with smaller
Paint the mustache white to match the car.
20% will look great thats what I have

Welcome, i also have a white 3.5 coupe, i agree drop is a very good idea. I also put racingline front strut bar and rear sway bar in just yesterday and love it handles a lot better. CAI is also a good idea i went with injen intake system... altima-coupe-parts-accessories-t280490.html that is the page on here that will give you a great starting point on what parts you would like and prices.

Yeah definately man!!! I put the sway bars in a couple weeks ago and I didnt think it was going to do much.... It was a huge improvement!! Just as a guess I would say i can hnadle turns at 15-20mph higher than I could without them in...

First off, welcome to the club!

dropping your car is a big one, although i haven't dropped mine yet, i'm waiting for the s-techs. the RSB makes a huge difference!! i just had my stillen RSB installed today and it feels amazing! also, get an exhaust, and i recommend 18"s for your rim size

This post is for ranga14....You say there is no front sway bar...then why do they sell front endlinks to bolt to THE SWAY BAR....
dangeris wrote:Yes, the endlinks are worth the investment. They will compliment the rear sway bar as well as the OEM sway bar in the front. Also, if you compare the two side by side, you'll see, with a doubt, that the RL's endlink is a lot bigger and stronger. OEM links are about 3/8" thick while RL's endlink is like an inch! :chuckle:

Well, as a guide, lowering has some
Positives
- cornering
- feels more agile
- improved looks

Negatives
- install price + unit cost
- prone to scraping
- horrible ride on slimmer tires
- voided suspension warranty

As a side note, the ride alone made me remove the Eibachs.
If you track the car, it is worth it. If you use it as a daily driver

Whoops, I meant that there's no aftermarket front sway bar.
