Drp Springs

[BNasty]

ok i was wondering i have a 05 sentra 1.8 i was wondering if anyone had any suspension advice i was thinking about gettin some coils but, i dont really know much about this, i am running 17s on a 45 tire i was thinking about a 2 inch drop but i can only find springs that are like 1.1" or 1.5" drop, if anybody has any advice on products can you post the link

you lower your car 2 inches (or at all really) and eventually your stock struts will go, and you'll have to replace them. you're better off going with coilovers to begin with. i'm partial to the teins

Definitely need struts with that.

I know the Sprint springs lower 2 inches. I think some of the Tanabes might too. Either way it's pretty much purely cosmetic. Ride is going to kind of suck too.

[b15chik]

yeah i know for sure the sprints. and i can tell you first hand the ride sucks, lol

i had the progress springs on my car which are 1.7 and 1.5 and they also suck.

I just got my 2 inch drop spring kit for my Sentra where can I find a camber kit for the front and rear?

[BNasty]

where do i get the struts that i need, i looked on the internet but only found stock ones, do i need aftermarket ones? and could i install these myself, i already know i need to get the springs installed at a shop cause i dont have a press

[nametakennow]

The only camber kit currently available is the bolt type, and it's worthless. Unfortunately, pillow-ball mounts are a work in progress at this point. Unless you use coilovers, your camber is essentially non-adjustable.

The only struts out there are the KYB GR2s, which are OEM replacements designed for a moderate drop (and 2in is well beyond moderate) and Koni Yellows. I'd go with the Yellows if you're going to drop it that much.

Honestly, for that much drop the best option is a full coilover.

so should i just order the struts and i should be good with the Drop springs, when i get both the springs and the struts should i just take both to a like any shop (any suggestions?) and they should install.Is there anyway i can do this wothout replacing the struts?

[nametakennow]

Don't lower it as much if you don't want to pay for struts.

A shop can install these with ease.

was looking at dropping my sentra very little, just to close down the wheel gap. and would you suggest getting wheel spacers, kinda dont like how the cars look dropped with the way the fenders flare out, wanted to kinda of put the wheels even with the outer most part of the fender.

[nametakennow]

About a 5mm spacer will get it close. Look up the stock wheels offset. I think it's +47. +38 (so a 9mm spacer if you could find it) is probably the lowest you could go without rubbing the fender.

I got eibach sportsprings with a 1.2" and 1.0" drop front and rear respectively. The ride is still pretty good a little stiff but not bad.

[nametakennow]

Sportlines or Pro Kits?

Sportlines are rated at about 1.5in f/r, Pro Kits are closer to the 1in mark.

I run Sportlines and Yellows. I've had them for about 3 years. It's stiff, but generally comfortable. I've even had grandparents in my car with no complaints.

[nismo4life11]

yea my bad the pro kit
