B15 05 Sentra looking for options on suspension.

A great resource for Nissan Sentra, Infiniti G20, 200sx, Pulsar, NX1600, NX2000, Tsuru, Primera and Sunny owners.

I have a friend that has Progress drop springs that have become saggy on him. The car looks like poop and he is wanting to know what all options he has for coils or better spring/strut combo. Any info on this topic will be greatly appreciated.

Pretty much all lowering springs will sag over time in my experience.

A decent cheaper coilover setup would be the Tein SSs, Tein Basics, or K Sport coilovers. All are full coilover setups so you don't have to buy additional struts and shocks.

I run the JIC FLT-A2s on mine and I love them. They are a little more money but I think it is well worth it.

Aside from the JICs I think I would honestly go with the K-Sports cause I think they make a really nice product for the price.

Ok but will these work for a regular Sentra. He doesn't have an SE-R and was told by the dealer the suspension setups were different.

The stock springs/shocks on an SE-R are stiffer, but the mounting and what-all is the same, so yes, that stuff works for all B15s.

Yeah the dealer doesn't know what the hell they are talking about. The stock parts are different but they are basically the same. They mount up the same and are shaped the same for all B15 Sentras. The only difference are the spring rates.
