about Sentra....

one thing about sentra that I don't like,
it's rear suspension - semi Independent rigid alxe
that thing is firm but doesn't handle that well,
especially after lower the coil

anyone else did anything to it?

Re: about Sentra....

hum... the reason you have this problem sounds like because you have the GXE. The GXE really isn't too good of a sentra to take corners like SE's and SER's. Se and SER's have upgraded suspentions. thats what is your problem y you dont like it.

Damn, how did you get a 1.8 Sentra to do 60 in less than 8 seconds? What have you done?

Re: about Sentra....

even a spec is hard to lower, and especially any 1999 and older sentra/200sx is really hard to lower.
but that doesnt mean you cant get it to handle well...
the secret is to play with spring rates while keeping ride height close to stock.
you can get any sentra over .9 gs with springs, shocks, sway bars, and tires, provided they are decent

cai, weapon-r header with high flow cat
the header increased torque much more than hp,
the stock tires can barely handle it

yeah, maybe.....and originally the rear suspension travel is pretty short already,
can't lower it 2 much.
need to find higher rate springs maybe

anyone know if I can use SE-R's suspension system?
