yea, that makes sense. the altima is VERY cushy stock, where as the Z isn't. After driving my Z for a few weeks, i drove my altima around the block before i sold it. That thing felt like a boat. I felt like it was just lumbering from side to side in turns, and the steering was SO loose compared to the Z. i could use my pinky to turn the wheel.
-
yeah when I got eibachs on my altima it became a lot harsher, but on the Z it's the opposite.
-
interesting. i would have thought the ride would be harsher with springs.
-
bought tein springs, they are pretty cheap brand new on ebay. the drop is perfect for me, not too low, and no wheel gap. the ride is a lot smoother now, bumps aren't as harsh as they were on the OEM springs. didn't get a kit, and I'm gonna wait a couple weeks for the springs to completely settle before I go in for an alignment. I think it should be fine, no immediate tire wear as of yet.
-
thanks man. yea most of the people with the big lips are running 20's. what brand of springs did you use to lower? are you running a camber kit? if not, how's your tire wear
-
i lowered mine and love how the ride feels now. i'm just not used to seeing lipped wheels with beefy tires heh. wheels look sick tho, congrats!
-
at first i didn't plan on lowering my car, so i wanted to go with the nismo stock tire sizes (although i went with 255 up front) so that it would eliminate some of the gap. plus, i wanted to stay at the same overall tire diamter (or as close as possible). Once i lower, i'll see how it looks, and then when these wear out i'll think about a lower profile. I dunno why, but i kind of like the beefier tire on the 19.
-
jeff, you should get smaller profile tires and drop the car, itll look sportier.

i hate honda so... +1 to that

i'd still take it over a civic or an accord any day
