No.

Don't waste your money on cheap springs. Get the Tanabe or Eibach.

Is there any reason to go with Tanabe over Eibach and visa versa? (other than price, of course) I've found the Tanabe for MUCH less than the Eibach and am wondering why anyone would pay more for the Eibach.

The Tanabe NF-210 springs are the springs I have currently installed in my Versa, and I have to say that they make such an amazing difference in how my car handles and feels... I'll never go back!

BUT

Do not risk eBay,

Go for http://www.versaspeed.com because they made sure my springs got to me on time (for a car show) and in perfect condition.

It's the same price, but the customer service is absolutely amazing. I'm pretty awful about giving merchants OK or bad reviews, but this guy really knows what he is doing.

"springs" are just a general reference to a suspension part. there are two basic types of springs, "leaf springs" and "coil springs". Since the Versa has only coil springs, whenever we refer to "springs" for the Versa, we are referring specifically to "coil springs".

And it may just be you. The V is actually a pretty stable little car despite its tall cabin. The car WILL go squirrely on you, though, if you are still using the stock tires. I'm sad to say this, but even my specific snow-compound tires do better on 50 degree bare-and-dry pavement than the stock tires did. I can only imagine the kind of grip I'll have once my new 3-season tires are installed in the spring.

I love my B&G Springs I just installed on my car and they rode very smooth from San Diego to Las Vegas this past weekend!

I know this is an older post, but I was just searching around and I just wanted to inform everyone that AG springs are not a cheap spring, they are just inexpensive. They make springs for several OEM's including Nissan.

They are also big in the rally/road racing circuit.

No I don't work for them and I am leery of Ebay seller's these days. That place has gotten pretty bad for knock off and cheaply made overseas junk.
