Congrats on your new purchase. The spring you choose to go with worries me. H&R 350Z springs drop the Z 1.5", your looking at a 2.5" drop on the sedan. That much drop on your taller oem sedan shocks (vs oem Z shocks) is not a good idea, your going to end up riding on the bump stops even if you trim them back. Also keep in mind that oem Z shocks are firmer then oem sedan shocks, so not only are you likely to not have enough dampning power, your weaker shocks won't offer as much resistance to keep the bump stops away from the tops of the shocks, making things even worse. I know the springs were not cheap, but I am speaking from recent experience, and that's with shorter, firmer Koni shocks with a little less drop and with linear springs vs the progressive H&R's you picked up.

dam you, your right - verizon gets complete coverage but too much $$$$$ which is better spend elsewhere

did your altima's paint chip as much as mine???
I have chips even on my skirts and rear bumper cover
(forget about the front )

if not, i highly recommend you get a clear bra.
go to james tint, and he will put the huperoptiks on, i think he also does clear bra's. (you -will- get hupers)

all my windows are getting tinted today and yes again the front windshield 35% and the sides 20%

the altima never had any paint problems -- only my front bumper since i was driving on ocean parkway and all the bugs were sticking everywhere.
