Hi,
Just wanted to get some opinions from forums members.

For those who have modified their suspension, how much of an increase in handling do you notice. Many have stated their notice an improvement, however I'm more interested in some of the details.

Please state what you have changed (items and brands)? springs only? springs and struts? coil-overs?

RATING SCALE:

1 = chevy impala

3

6 = 3 series bmw

7 =

8 = s2000

9 = lotus elise

10 = go cart


On this scale my oem versa with 15" wheels is about a 3.5~4.0.

What have you guys achieved with mods?

Thanks in advance for any input to this tread!

I have tanabe NF210 springs only and love them. I'd say they are about a 5.5-6 on your scale. I will add a strut bar at the end of the month.

i have coilovers, front and rear chassis braces, rear sway bar, front strut bar and decent tires and would only rate it at 7, MAX.

i would suggest lowering it, prefferably on coilovers, but lowering springs will work (<--i have a used set of tanabes i am trying to sell for cheap) and good tires. tires will make the biggest deifference.
