Lowered my 3rd Gen with Tein. Lotsa Pics.

I dropped the Altima this weekend. Used Tein S Springs with OEM struts. This could not have been easier, only took me and a buddy 2 hours with air tools and a 6 pack. Car is a 2005 3.5 SE 5MT on stock 17's.


6 weeks ago sitting on the lot before I drove it home.


Finished Car with Tein S springs.


Another finished pic.

Looks sweet I'm debating about getting the H-techs I hate though how they are more expensive then the S-techs so far from my searching.

Noticed any handling improvements yet?

You can run drop springs with the stock shocks and struts, but they will die eventually. Most likely within a year or so depending on the road conditions.
