Default My brother's Altima

Here are a couple photos of my brother's 2003 Crystal Blue Nissan Altima 3.5 SE, sitting on 18" Mille Miglia EV-R (purchased from Tire Rack). He recently put in a Eibach Pro-kit (1" drop all around).

Before drop:



After drop:



Enjoy!

Everytime I see an Altima, I know they really wanted this.

My bro loves the ride. The handling is much improved after the Eibach was installed, and the wheels and drop certainly provide a nicer and more aggressive look to the car. The car is pretty darn fast on the highways; he loves that too He's riding on Kumho tires. My brother lives up in Maine, where the weather can be pretty cruel in the winter and summer, and he keeps his car garaged where he lives (thus no scratches, chips or dings).

I'm with you on how the Altima so much resembles the shape and styling of the GS. They're both great designs, sleek and sporty. A lot of aftermarket modifications can be found on either of the cars. One difference I found is mainly the interior; the Altima does not seem as luxurious or comfy as in the GS.

Yes, late-model Altimas have a reputation for cheap-looking and feeling interiors (as do many newer Nissan / Infiniti products), but Nissan claims to have addressed this with the new Altima SE-R.
