Just was a thought. Just for street - not sport.

Ja, gonna save up for coilovers (could afford it if I didn't have to sort all the other crap out).

I'm tired of the 4x4 look and handling (my Sentra handles way better).

Are there any aftermarket springs available to drop the ride height?
If so, where are they available.
Somebody was selling Koenic springs in the classifieds section, but he didn't reply to my post.

Tein make lowering springs (R3000) nice difference but coilovers are the best with handling imo

Imo you gona pay for springs then get coil overs later and pay more. Rather save more and and get a set of coil overs there a lots of options never used other makes but I love the tein range

Very tempting. I did see your ad, but cash low at the mo'.

Still need to get her running properly.

Just thought I could get springs in the meantime to minimize the 4x4 look.
