My mom has an altima... how can I make the ride of her car softer?
I know the car is kinda made for a sporty suspension... but the ride is just too rough for her. Is there an aftermarket parts that i can add to get the rough feel out of the car? By the way its a 99 altima.

Without changing shocks, you might look for a tire dealer to recommend some soft riding rubber.
Finally, is it an SE. My wife's is a 95, but not an SE. The tires are the GS-As and rides very nicely.

There is an Altima forum. The people are pretty nice and I got some good recommendations for some new tires for her car (soon).
You might want to wander over there and see if someone is a "parts swap guru."
How much you would be willing to spend to modify the car -- in a fashion -- that most buyers wouldn't be seeking out; thus making its resale value lower.
(Last paragraph is just my gut feeling -- no evidence to support this.)
