It's getting warmer here in Toronto

Winter is coming to an end, thus me and my friends are bringing out our cars as well. We had a mini-meet and planned to take some photos near the York University campus, tried to do some rolling shots, but failed on that. Nonetheless, the still pictures came out nice.

Hope you all enjoy the photos, I know my car needs to be lowered right away, doing it this summer. The Altima is using the Tein Super Street Suspension, pretty low indeed. You are all welcomed to leave your feedbacks on the photos and the cars.

hehehe...how about the suspension setup? Do you recommend TEIN superstreets/Megan coilovers or just the plain old A-spec? I dont like the car getting slammed or anything...and I am not much of a careful driver so potholes are my worst enemies. I need a decent drop...

If you are not careful dont drop your car at all. Pot holes ruin wheels if you are lowered or not. Curbs, bumps, and dips in the road are your enemy when slammed.

To me a decent drop is when you take paint off every speed bump you come across. That Altima may be dropped but it isnt much. Infact, if it wasnt for the gobs of TIEN stickers i would think it was at stock height.

Not a big fan of Altima's in general, esp. his car. Just not right. TL is looking good though...once you drop her, she'll look sexy

Thanks, do let me know which suspension setup you would recommend for me to go for. I dont want to jeopardize the ride comfort yet want a decent drop for a good stance.

thanks man. Blue just seemed better than red for me. Unfortunately no center caps for these Work rims, so planning to just the black out the center piece.

noob question - how do you get just the fogs to turn on? my understanding is that the 04-06 headlights only have their fogs come on if the headlight is on too.

Nice TL and 7 Series...not so much on the Altima. Just do an A-Spec drop, it will look really subtle and go with the flow of the car. Nice TL! I like the lugs w/ the rims.

Thanks! going for the M/T A-spec lip kit and after that, I will add the TypeS front swaybar and the Progress swaybar on the rear. The car has too much body rolling.

These are DRL's in canada, its a must. I doubt that was the case in US back in 2005. I guess the new USDM cars have DRL's on as soon as the handbrakes are lifted. Mine automatically turns on when I press the handbrake off.

Yeah the M/T A-spec suspension is going to be installed this Summer. Thanks for the compliments.

yeah few other people also recommended to take down the mud flaps, more like the first mod for some people here I guess.
