Hey there Versa owners,

Has anyone seen any aftermarket struts out yet that are designed for the lowering springs that Tanabe and Eibach make? I have the NF210's from Tanabe and now my front struts are blasted. The car rides like I have 2x4's crammed in the front suspension. I read somewhere that the Tanabe's were designed with the versa struts in mind but I think this is a gross understatement. 9300 miles and struts are completely gone. No love from the dealer either. So a word of warning to all you modifiers out there. Be careful to make sure you can track down replacement parts for if something goes wrong.

So...anyone know where I can get some aftermarket struts?

Yeah.

Anyway, no aftermarket struts yet exist. the link that xtwoonamachx provided is for a full coil-over system.

Tokico are going to make inserts for the Versa but at this moment they are not available.

Make sure the front shocks are the problem and it's not something else just in case.......I've got about fifteen thousand miles on the same set up and no problems and I drive the car pretty hard.

I have put about 15K on mine with no issues......did you hit any huge potholes or anything? a 1.5" drop should not blow a strut......3"-4" drop maybe....did you have the springs installed or did you install them yourself?
