drop it, looks good man, I'm thinking about those same wheels, but with the alloy finish, how do you like them?

the drop... I want one, but currently it's too much money/hassle for me. I spent over 4k on mods in less than a year, and I only have one job and I pay for my own college education, so right now I need to build up my savings account again.

Also it's a hassle because I'm on a warranty and they said any performance modifacation will void the warranty (but I have a FSTB and a K&N filter and they haven't said anything). Also, for a drop you don't just need a coilovers or springs&struts... you'd need a camber kit... plus installation costs... etc... I'm just not ready for a drop yet... I want one because my front wheel gap looks like a SUV... the rear I really don't care because the subs lowered the rear a little bit. So yeah... all in due time

the money part is understandable as I'm pretty much on the same boat, but dropping it will not void your warranty....my car's been to the nissan dealer several times and it's dropped, has an LTB, RSB, FSTB, and wheel spacers which are very noticable and I haven't heard any comments about them.

and not sure what you mean by 'need' a camber kit, because you certainly dont...just get a front end alignment and you'll be good. The rear is fixed from the factory due to the rear beam. and installation is a piece of cake, particularly for the front.

Oh, I thought lowering is universal on all cars... for my old car you would need so much **** on top of just struts and springs... camber kits, strut boots, etc and you still run a risk of having improper tire wear.

nope, just springs/struts and $25 front end only (don't pay for the 4 wheel) alignment. If you get coilovers you can adjust all that anyway, and most springs don't drop the car far enough for a camber kit to be absolutely necessary.
