Went and bought tokico springs and shocks and struts. Put a system in trunk and stance looks off slouchy in rear. I was looking to put a rubber in the rear that will raise an 1". Don't have a solution for front would like to raise 1/2 to one inch any solutions?????? I thought of these rubber these that will extend springs but not sure will stay in place.

Thanks jl.

 

So you buy lowering springs and then want to raise it back up. Doesnt make sense. Anything heavy in the trunk is going to make the rear sag. No way around that.

 

Get springs that dont lower the car as much.....or adjustable coilovers

 

The springs are just a tad too low...This is what I get for going cheap and not getting Eibach springs. So I just need to raise and also for the NY tristate the potholes are beating up the suspension I need that extra protection. Its really bad here.

 

yea...when i goto NYC i refuse to drive my car....the wifey's sentra gets called upon for that....you should get H&Rs...Eibachs will be a lil stiff if ur concerned about the potholes

 

Lowering springs in NYC? i can barely deal with KYB's on factory springs. One thing you may try is a set of spring boosters, although i have nothing positive to say about them. Not to mention that i think they reduce the amount of spring travel.

 

thats why i bought the tein s techs. 1.8 in the back 2.2 in the front. this way if i put anything in the car (like people, LOL) it evens out.

 

Yeah I hear you. I messed up big time. I have to return a front strut to Tokico thats why I bought them with the lifetime guarantee. I have to put a longer bump stop and might have to find SE stock springs. The lowered springs are nice on the highway but locally its a disaster. Avoiding the potholes is a fulltime job. They are hard to spot sometimes and a tear almost comes out of the pain and suffering... they really shake you up. Suspension's take a beating in the winter time also when the salt reveals the land mines.

thks for your advice.

 

ive got stock se springs from a 99 automatic with 80k on them. 25 plus shipping.

 

Try Tein H-tech springs. S-techs will be level but will ride rough. You CAN try stock rear springs.

A machine shop can make steel or aluminum discs (actually an almost diamond-shaped spacer in the same shape of the top mount would be the best) that will allow you to level things up. If you want to go that way, I would recommend placing the spacer in between the top strut mount and the body. This will maintain full strut travel. There is plenty of stud length on the top mount to allow a 1/2-3/4" spacer with enough threads to allow a nut to be secure on the top.

 

Maxima-4DSC sent you pm for springs or email me at jleon02@yahoo.com

thks jl

 

What is the point of buying his springs? Use your own stockers...

 

Like a moron chucked them in the garbage had no space to store them. What is the difference between GXE and SE springs the SE I think are stiffer am I right.

 

yup. slightly stiffer. you may want the GXE with the new harder struts. just my opinion.

 

Only stiffer in the front, IIRC, and I believe that that is only with the 5MT SE. I thought that the auto springs were all th esame. I could be wrong, though- I have not had a 4th gen in a while..
