Got my AC 2.5 last June

Just now starting to throw on some mods.

Put some 19x8.5 Sterns last week and thinking about some springs.

For those who have them, how do they ride? Smooth or really rough?

Also i called the dealer and they did not recommend them but said it would not void my warranty, only if an item was damaged or not working properly because of the springs.

Kind of skeptical but i really love the corners and want to remove that body roll. The new Sterns made such a huge difference and did not compromise my ride quality at all. I am so happy with them.

And just to add since this is my first post . . . A company vehicle backed into my driver side headlight while it was parked!!! broke the bumper, fender, and headlight but thank god no frame damage. Going to cost two grand but thankfully the company is paying for it.

Let me know how the Eibach springs are and if they are causing any problems.

Welcome to the club!

http://forums.altimas.org/zeromain thats the link you should bookmark!

All the info here is in its proper section (for the most part)... This should be in the suspension section for future reference...

The search button works too, and we are always here to help you out!

Anyways, everyone loves the eibachs, and the ride is more affected by the wheels than the springs IMO... my 20s on 245/35/20s with eibachs ride nice IMO, but to some others they think its too harsh of a ride...

Your best bet is probably to get a ride from a local whose got em on, but with all that smooth cali driving, id put em on and never look back!

If you are looking for further stiffening of the suspension on cornering etc, pick up the stillen Rear sway bar and either the stillen or racingline front strut tower brace for a great improvement.
