First of all, thanks for the kinda words guys. I really appreciate it! Regarding the spoiler, I love it. And I guess thats what matters...........BUT, im actually looking to get a carbon fiber trunk instead so it can be had for the people interested. Feel free to toss me an offer.

Also, I have wanted to lower it for awhile now, just dont have the funds and the roads here in CO are pretty sh*tty. Now, I KNOW im gonna get flammed for this, but I just want something done now to hold me over. What CHEAP springs can I get for a decent enough drop. I heard I can go to like... a 2" drop before I need a camber kit right? Can I just put the springs on myself or should I have a shop do it? Im EXTREMLY ignorant on the subject so you might have to break it down like im a 10 yer old, lmao.

Whats the difference between springs and coilovers? Do coilovers go over your stock springs? Or do they go over lowering springs so you can adjust them? Which is better?

Coilovers replace your springs man. You can use ur stock struts, but they will blow really fast. Im riding on a set of eBay $50 coilovers, and it a pretty bouncy ride...so....

See, I thought they were almost like "sleeve's" if you will :roll: I suck. How bad of a bounce are you? Are much a drop? Do you have a camber kit? Are they easy to replace yourself? Why will my stock struts blow? How much can I pick those up for.

End of my million questions, lol

you can adjust coilovers, and lowering springs, are just like your stock springs but lower you car ( cant adjust your height ), i would recommend having money to get new shocks and struts maybe 2 months after you drop
and get a camber kit. i have a set of ebay coilovers.

Arnt camber kits like.... $100-$200 per set? If I had that kinda cash, I would just go all out now. I saw you can get springs or coilovers on eaby for $40-$100

yep.
just triple check that you get the right year springs lol.
cuz my friend with an altima ordered the wrong coilovers and didnt realize it till after
we cut his stock springs :O
if you want reliability i would not slam your car right away.

maybe go with some tien lowering springs, i think they have like a 1 1/2 inch drop all the way around.

A camber kit wouldnt hurt w/a 2" drop, but its not "'necessary". My struts were blown out before I even lowred my car, so thats why I slammed my. If I were you, dont go lower than 2". Especially if roads out there are that bad. 1.75" would be perfect. :thumbs up

You don't need a camber kit

You just need an alignment to make sure that you're toe is good. I don't have a camber kit and I don't have any camber wear. There is an article on heel-toe about it.
