What size are the tires, 215/45, 225/45, look on the sidewall of your tire for those numbers...

Agreed, but perhaps we should clarify "slammed."

jdm_bwoy - Define "slammed" for us. What do you consider "slammed"? How much to you currently think you want to lower the vehicle?

I hear the word "slammed" in conjunction with our cars and I grit my teeth.

Slammed: lowered 2 inches or more. Im looking into using dropzone springs on gr-2 shocks.

I want a good ride. A nice firm (non bouncy ride) which i have now. Where when you drop in hole or drive on a bumpy, stuff falls of my seat, my sunroof shakes or my back aches. lol

Can't really understand what you're trying to say in the second paragraph, but you will NOT get a good ride on ebay springs and gr2 shocks, won't happen. You want a good coilover setup, get Tein, or Progress. And please read over Shawn B's suspension thread.

Good luck, and don't be a ricer.

Dropzone springs are a tragedy of piss-poor aftermarket engineering.

GR-2 struts are essentially OEM replacements. IIRC, slightly stiffer. I'd have to check the Suspension Thread for exact details. However, they will blow out with any springs that (stupidly) drop the vehicle 2".

If you want to drop your vehicle 2-inches, you need to either pick another vehicle from a different manufacturer. Or, you can have an incredibly sh*tty ride in your Nissan. Because you have 3-inches of OEM suspension travel. You lose 2-inches, and you have 1-inch left. It is that simple.

If you're as smart as Mike Kojima, you could relocate your stock suspension pick-up points and geometry.

Please translate to English. I cannot decipher what appears to be a contradictory statement that is missing a few words.

Good advice.

this exact combo will provide likely the worst ride you could have in a sentra. it will bounce like a pogo stick, slam HARD everytime you hit even a twig laying on the road surface, and you will have massive bump steer and snap over/understeer.

the only way you could have a worse handling car would be to cut your stock springs 2 inches and leave them on blown struts, or simply remove the springs.

Just put some hydraulics in that bish. Then you can do back-front, side-side, pancake, and 3-wheel motion!
