Page 4: Suspension
Stoppers...
When I got the Alt, one of the first problems I had was the warped rotors. Swapped those out...
Old rotors......old...rusted...warped....rotors...
Stepped up to new, Brembo CNC Machined Slotted Rotors and I painted calipers red to match my "touch of red" theme.
The brake pads got upgraded to EBC "Red Stuff" Ceramic Street Brakes
The Rollers...
18 inch Motegi MR7 Alloy rims wrapped in Michelin Pilot A/S tires; the best All-weather ultra-high performance street tire money could buy.
Suspension...
My first true suspension mod was a OEM Front Strut Tower Bar.
I have since upgraded to the Stillen Strut Tower Bar that came from the parts car. It isnt made to fit my generation of altima, but I got it to work using my old strut bar brackets. Fits nice
Had the crazy wheel gap after the wheel install. As recommended again from the good folk on the Altimas.net forum boards, I opted to lower the car on H&R Sport Springs and Tokico Blue HP Struts
H&R Springs. Lower the car about 1.8 inches at all corners.
Tokico Struts. some of the best in the business
Heres me gettin handy with the air gun and the spring compressors. This was a hell of a job, my first major install to the car prior to the engine and tranny swaps. Had me all stressed out.
Finished Product, after some 6 hours of work!!
Came across a Suspension Technique Rear Sway Bar To keep the theme going, painted it red with the caliper paint.
Future: Came across the parts I need to convert my rear drums to disk brakes, just need the money for new brembo rotors and brake pads.
Plan on installing an all new Air Suspension setup this winter/spring.
