Raise the Versa (hatchback)...

[*Ziggy*Stardust*]

Is probably what you are thinking.

Well I've always been one to do things different, opposite of the "norm."
I was wondering if any one had info, or could direct me somewhere were I could find out what it would take to raise my car 1-2 inches higher.
I'm going to do a photoshop of it to see if I would like if or if it would look just plain stupid.

Later...

Longer springs would raise the car but you would be close to running out of travel on the struts/shocks. You'd want to replace them also and I don't know anyone making longer sets of those. Perhaps you could do it with a set of coilovers.

ya just out of randomness.. but why would you want to raise your versa?

[*Ziggy*Stardust*]

One reason to raise it is because it's low enough that in a few places that I drive the front end scrapes (so then I of course angle the car and take my time through so I won't scrape). 2nd is I'm not a fan of lowering the car. "Everyone" lowers a car, I want to be different, and plus I've seen some other cars out there raised and they looked pretty cool.

You could try a set of spring spacers. I don't think they are a permanent solution, but they're cheap enough to try. What about larger diameter tires? 185/70x15, or 185/65x16 ???
You could be the first "Monster Truck Versa"

LOL! "monster truck versa."
I'll see what I can do. So those tire sizes, I assume they would be closer to the wheel wells and taller?

Thanks to everyone who has given their input.

[AJVersa]

There is plenty of room in the Versa wheelwell. Look at the tire sizes guys are running.
A tire diameter more than 25 inches will throw your speedo off, but it will raise your ground clearance. My advice is to stick with what you've got, and slow down on rough roads.
Good Luck!

That is a good point on sticking with what I've got. Plus it'll save me a lot of money if I keep it the same height instead of trying to raise it etc. Maybe I'll learn some patience on taking it easy on the dips and driveways that I know are issues.

Or you could put some 18/ 20's on there like the old impalas i have down the street.. First dub versa... I know im delirious.. on the fumes from down the street.

[*Ziggy*Stardust*]

HA! That would be a site to see. A dub versa! Maybe I'll photoshop it. I'm curious.

[RobJordan]

Yo tambien. Me as well... post it if you get a chance.

[RobJordan]

So a few projects going on. I have a LW crank pulley, rims no tires, nav/sirius tuner and head unit, carpet pulled and some gtmat put down so far... how is your dub shop versa looking?

[Skyes_2012_RedV]

Haven't done any photoshop. Plus I suck at it. Maybe I will try and find someone to do it for me. (by the way i used to be *ziggy*stardus* had to change my account)

I bought the knobs on ebay, and luv them. I am unable to shoot you a message because of my lack of participation.
