There's camber plates up front, none in the back.

K-Sport & D2's (both made in the same factory, same thing: K-Sports are orange, D2's purple, only difference) have the once piece coilover setup, where Meagan and BC retain the OEM indpendent suspension rear with their coil design.

I see no problem at all with the K-Sport & D2 setup. It's kinda like a "to each their own" type of decision. I think either route would be suitable. The car ride's AMAZING. I was really suprised, felt damn near stock. The chick says she doesn't really even notice the difference lol.

Besides for the install being easier, BBMaxi said this earlier in the thread:

Kinda had me thinking. I'm pretty sure I saw someone else mention something like this in another coilover thread as well.

I chose D2's for the car because I figured it's easier to make height adjustments with the regular coilover setup, versus making adjustments at the spring. And like I said I think the one piece setup is a much easier install, take the OEM spring out and you don't have to worry about installing shieet back in there.

yeah thats why you get BC.. megans are the not as higher quality.. i just think that if the factory made it like that its because its better.. all that weight being supported by just the strut in the back.. i dont think its meant to go like that.. it meant to distribute the wieght of the car by the multi link layout.. but hey if its working for ya go right ahead.

^I understand that point of view. Nissan really didn't start doing that independent rear layout until '02 with the Alty's. Before that, like my car for example, it was all coil over spring.

It's kinda like converting the new rear setup to the old rear setup in a sense. I mean I can't call it and say one is better than the other, but I'm pretty sure D2 & K-Sport have fully tested this design and have made it completely suitable, because it seems they do the coil over spring design with all the coils they make for cars with independent rear suspension.

I guess we'll see how they hold up!

Ok I'm a noob when it comes to all this stance talk, but I want to lower my car to give it a better stance. I am running 22x8.5 is the front and 22x10.5 in the rear. Where do I begin and what modifications do I have to do? I realize that I will have to roll the fenders, but what else do I need to do to make this happen? I was looking to purchase an eibach pro kit, coils and all seems a little to out of the budget...help!!!

chill, nothing to get all worked up about.

anyhow, the seperate spring unit on the bucket arm seems to be more prone to noise.

hey just curious, where do you have your spring perch set at ? at it hitting the top with no more room to go (lowest point). I might have mine set up wrong, it's hard to determine because they are separate units.

with a integrated unit, it's easy to determine how much strut rod travel u have vs the height u are at.

i like how some members here with 22's stance with eibach pro kit. the wheels give it the height it needs so your clear from anything. coilovers to me are better because i can adjust the height.. i dont want it too low.. some people want it slammed.. coilovers are more for a preference. But eibach did their research and the way they sit the car is perfect.. i compare the pics from my eibachs to my coilovers and i prefer the eibach drop... but i cant keep scraping my **** where i live.. so they went bye bye.

I hear ya, but the a35 isn't too hard of a car to drive at a low height. The front wheel drive is actually very beneficial when angle-ing in onto drive ways since it can "climb' out of any jamb. Try doing that on a really low rear wheel drive car and u can get stuck.

at my height, I can get in and out of 100 percent of all drive ways with no issues. Only time I had a slight issue was when I was going head in into a steep incline. I scraped my bottom muffler pipes. I then then angle'd out on the exit decline, which cleared it with no problems.

Coilovers, stretched tires, camber bolts and control arm, o yeah and 3 month cv axels and align ur car to keep tires fresh (all four corners), stance has a lot to do with negative camber, stretched tires and fitting your wheels a aggressive as possible, fenders must be pulled, and rolled. This is the REAL answer. Hope you have a lot piney put away, a stanced vehicle is a money pit

See that exactly way more than what I want to deal with. I just wanted a little less gap between tires and car body which I why I just wanted to see what I could do from an eibach only point of view. I'm not trying to do coilovers and all that cuz its a little to extreme for me I just wanted to make it a little more appealing with my 22s. Guess I'll just keep it sitting up and return my eibachs

^You talking about the two cars in my first post?


Should have read thru the rest of the thread homie, not just the first post lol.


The white one is tAdAaA's, you can find him throughout this thread, and IDK who the maroon Max belongs too. It was at a meet I attended...


These are the only two pics I have and have seen:
