Hrmmmm Can I go any lower!!!

Well of course I can in the front after I get some aftermarket struts with a better top plate or I fabricate a top plate myself.
The back...well it can go lower if I remove the exhaust since it is on the ground now lol. Enjoy the pic below:

tech talk. what components are you runnin in your system? line size, valve size, compressors...

i couldnt deal with a 2 line system. too slow for me. if you think you get whiplash from that, you would hate my setup.

btw, good stuff on baggin a 3rd gen. i remember those days of bein a pioneer to the scene...

That looks really nice, i remember seeing this older black guy in a gold 03 sittin on the ground at a light, with MRLEEKS on the liscence plate. I drove with him as he got on the frwy, lifted up and flowed over bumps meanwhile my pro-kit alti bounced over everything. Not in the near future but i would def like to bag my car, its not a luxury car from the dealer but its gonna be as close as i can get it to be when im done. I feel u on the Enthusiast thing nissan4life, im the same way.;

the ride quality all depends on your setup. type of bags, and if it includes accumulators or not.

check out "air ride technologies". there are other bags out there, but i think these are the most versatile. check em out at Air Ride Technologies - Ridetech.com. you can also check out Airbagit.com

Universal Air in my eyes are probably the best manufacturer out there right now since they started them anyway in the commercial sector. The ride is much improved over the stock springs as long as you have a "happy-medium" of air in the bags, too much air and the ride will be stiff, too little and the ride will be bouncy as hell. My advice to you is once you get it installed, keep the bags inflated to where stock height is, that way you will not wear-out your stock shocks/struts. I have a Dakota Digital Auto-leveler and I have 3 heights preset, High with the bags almost fully inflated to go over large speed bumps, dips, etc.; Medium which is stock height; and Low which is 1.5" drop from stock in the front, and 1.25" drop from stock in the rear. When I park, I simply use the manual mode to drop it to the ground which you can see in my sig. The auto leveler can be a little pricey though at $700 but if you're paying almost $3K for a system, go for it. I also bought the add-on keyfob remote so I can raise/drop it from out of the car too and that I love.

As far as what I got, Universal Air has a standard setup for Altimas already which consists of a Stainless 5 gallon tank, 2 stainless air compressors, 1/4" fittings and line, 8 valves (4up/4down), 200psi pressure switch, and a 9 button controller. I slightly modified my setup because the rear jumps pretty good with minimal air so I changed out the rear fittings with 1/8" line and that did the trick for me. Then I added the Dakota Digital stuff so I could have a pressure reading. They also custom fabricated a front strut mounting plate so I can get the maximum drop up front. Its soo low now that the wheel well sits on the tires and I cannot even get the lowest profile jack I cound find under the car. I would estimate that the frame is approximately 0.75" from level ground all around and thats being generous.

Hey ridin22s, PM me when you get a chance and I can help you out with gettin a deal on your system if you're serious.
