Thread: Axle issues do to suspension anyone?

1)No matter what you"read" before buying suspension,it was not adequate,obviously.You are finding out the hard way now.
2)
In case you didnt notice that long ass suspension thread that nobody wants to read,and has all the answers to every question you could possibly have about our chassis,was posted by no other than ShawnB.
He spent hours upon hours collecting all that info from various sources over the years.Most of these sources are COMPETETIVE racers and suspension gurus(for our cars)....,not just some random dudes with lowered cars....no hearsay...just FACTS.
3.)What works on one car does not always work on another.My 33" mud tires work great on my Frontier,but they suck on my sentra


I am gonna "chime in" on this one because I know what a PITA it WAS to find all this suspension info by searching.
Then a guy named ShawnB spent countless hours collecting this info and putting it all together in one thread for us...but nobody reads it.Instead the newbs think it is easier to just ask the same questions that have been asked and answered 1,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times over again.
You new guys want everything spoonfed to you.
I personally thought ShawnB was very helpful.He never called any names...like the OP calling him a DICK
He even told him where to find the info,why the car was having axle issues,and provided multiple links FOR HIM so he could read some current hreads.....alll of which could have been done without someone holding their hand.....what a dick



It has nothing to do with asking the wrong question,and nobody got flamed.
You newbs need to put you big girl panties on before you go whining about getting flamed.
If you spent all that time making,and continually updating that suspension thread......and nobody reads it first....you would be a DICK like ShawnB too.

Love you guys,seriously.but I couldnt just sit back and let you guys go down this road again.

For ShawnB those were some really TAME replies,considering what I have seen in the past....find that search button and you will see what I mean.
Like it or not,Shawn is a great asset to our community,IMO.

To answer the OP question...You will have premature wear on all suspension parts ,axles will bind,bumpsteer will rear its ugly head if you lower thge car at all.
You are OK at about 1" lower than stock,but as you go lower,the effects listed above will become progressively worse.

Newb or not. Doesnt matter. He came off disrespectful assuming and mentioning about ignorance. I read thoroughly through that thread prior to buying anything before he posted it on this thread. Lot of people exaggerate things. Figured they couldn't be that bad. Which if I change the struts I'm sure they won't be to to bad. No where does it mention that these so called "rice" springs will snap you axles. Main Thing mentioned is "they ride horrible" and all though they are not the greatest. I've driven in worst cars than my b13. We learn from our mistakes. Simple as that. But the "wise ass" comments should just be kept to your selves. Not every one is down to get "flammed" when all there doing is asking a simple question.

"your springs are what's messing it up, here's this link ......"

I'm not illiterate, I know how to read and yes I do know where the "search" button is.

Thanks for your time

You noobs should be glad ShawnB is on his meds,those were some really TAME replies,considering what I have seen in the past....find that search button and you will see what I mean.

Sigh..nobody was whining.my statement was just to support "research b4 asking"

^^sometimes it is hard to distinguish sarcasm,respect,or disrespect from behind a screen and keyboard.
I assure you Shawn meant no disrespect to you.And for the record,calling someone names is disrespectful...is it not?
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

This forum and community is one of the best resources you will ever find for these cars,so you will have to get used to the way we "Dicks" act I guess.
Otherwise,its been nice knowing you.
This is a performance oriented community,so if you are into so called"ricer" mods,hella flush,stance,slammed,or whatever,it will not be well received here.
It is what it is.
However,if you are interested in making your car perform well,and want access to specially designed parts,and whatnot for our cars,you will not find a better group of people.
There are ALOT of oldschool guys on here like myself who have been tinkering with these cars since the 90's.
There is a lot of great info to be had and most are willing to help any way possible.
But if you come on here and get all huffy puffy,you will not have a very good overall experience here.
That I can promise you.
Mt recommendation would be to kick back,do some searching,and reading.
You will soon see who the longtime members are,and who to try to contact for help.
I have gotten a ton of advice/help via PM over the years.
Call me a fanbvoy ar whatever,but this community has played a strong part in making me keep my SR cars for so long(probably forever)lol

That wasnt directed at you specifically,but a general statement,sorry
Thats the point exactly...reasearch before asking....thank you,somebody understands.

For sure eggman!..just outta curiosity and I know this is the wrong time and place..what happened to the "other sr20forum"..

It still kicking:
SR20 Forum - The essential resource for all things Nissan SR20 on the Web - http://www.sr20forum.com

Lol I know that but I remember posting something a while back..no reply so I thought some bs happened and then "the dash" was introduced

So why are you asking for any of our many opinions if you, "shouldn't take there word for granted 100%"? That makes me think that you won't listen to any knowledgeable person's opinion anyhow. If people here say "this shit sucks", then 99.999% of the time it's dead on true, and based on experience. So, you just go on ahead doing things that people, here, say isn't good, and complain somewhere else if the need ever arises.

God forbid I didn't think the lowering springs would have anything to do with the axle snapping and giving this issue now! If that was the case my buddies b13 which was pretty slammed to the ground would have done the same and that never happened with him. You guys just need to relax on the negativity already. What was said was said and it's done w/.

I don't understand why people are going to keep adding to the thread there 2cents of what was said. There 2cents being non related to the main topic. It got out of hand, it's done with. Doesn't need to keep going.

B14kid did a pretty good job at changing the station. Maybe it should stay that way. Good job b14kid. ;-)
