Hello all,

I recently purchased a 2010 Versa HB with some aftermarket modifications, which I am mostly OK with, but I do have one question for all you folks who have lowered your Versas.

How does the ride quality compare between the Tein lowering springs and the OEM springs? I live on a fairly rough street (Yay, Michigan roads!) and it can get a little jarring on the Teins that were installed - I'm trying to gauge if it is worth getting a set of stock and swapping them.

Thanks!

A better modification would be some adjustable shocks. That way you can adjust the dampening and make the ride softer or harder.

A big part of most bumpy rides is a stiff spring rate coupled with stock crap dampening.

I have TEINs on mine and love them. Yes, it bounces here and there but I don't mind that. The ride is stiff, which is better than OEM.
