Lowering the 2010 Altima coupe
Just checked out the wifes new ride in the day light... It needs to be lowered a bit. I wonder if it's as easy as the C5? Probably not.
Now I'm gonna have to find a Nissan forum... Don't ban me Gary!

I'm gonna guess it has struts, and if so, I'm sure someone makes lowering springs that will fit them.
No where near as easy (or cheap) as lowering a C5, but all in all, struts aren't that tough to remove and replace the coils in. |

Looks like eibach has a pro-kit which goes for about $250. Lowers the car 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear. Still trying to figure out if I'll need extra crap for the alignment. Stay tuned as I have awakened my inner ricer!

Its a utility vehicle. Those FWD cars are already tough to keep aligned, you lower it and you will go through tires like no tomorrow.

I gave up on the Altima. The cold spell is over and I have re-focused my attention where it belongs, modding the Vette!
