hey, Im new to this site, and still trying to learn about my 1993 Altima GXE. Wondering if I could pick your brain. I want to lower my car like 2", but do I need just the springs, or struts as well? Also, what width rear spoiler can I get? Anyone know any good web sites with Altima stuff on it?

There's a faq or something about diff springs available, how much they lower, how they ride, and opinions. Check the home page for a link somewhere. Otherwise, ask me (email or pm) and I'll get it to you.
Site w/altima stuff? You're pretty much gonna hafta look around. There's no main source for stuff.

Try www.altimas.net


You should get new struts when you add springs to the car. It seems that KYBs are the most popular struts to add.

ive been searching like crazy, the info for aftermarket alty parts are pretty slim. How much is it total to lower the car 2 inces?

 

[mrdeucie]

$180 Springs
$300 Struts
$50 Camber bolts
$100 Install
$80 Alignment

Total=$710

 

[vindeisel]

can you lower and get by without struts? or do you need all these things

 

[mrdeucie]

it depends on how old your stock struts are.

I'm riding on stock struts. 149k on them so far. Rides like a boat. I don't know when you're supposed to replace them, but I'm guessing before 100k is a good idea.
KYB's are like stock. Tokiko's are stiffer.
