Pros:
|
Matched shock damping to spring rate
|
|
Cons:
|
None
|
|
If you don\'t want an adjustable suspension get this one. It easily improves the handling over stock. The rear end is not as nervous (maybe lowered rear rebound damping) but altho it doesn\'t feel as twitchy the limits of the car are definately increased. It feels a lot more controllable.
Again, I would recommend this suspension to anyone and everyone wanting to mod their Sentra but don\'t want or need an adjustable setup.

Ride quality, Handling, Easy install, Nissan waranaty

none adjustable

If you drive on subpar roads this is the only suspention setup I would recommend for b15. The most comfortable of aftermarket choices and the only one to absorb even fair sized potholes without much wheel bending dramma.
On the performance side, combined with rear sway bar this suspention gives solid, nuetral handling with easy lift throttle to get the rear working.
There is just the slightest of floaty quality compared to alternatives, but it\'s a small price to pay.
SCC has tested this supention setup with summer performance tires and the numbers were .95g lateral acceleration and 73mph slalom - very impressive, on par with stiff EVO performance.
Drop is one inch, which in my view is perfect for our cars, good clearance/looks compromise with most of the suspension travel salvaged,

Pros:
|
Straight forward, easy install for most anyone. Plug and play
|
|
Cons:
|
Non adjustable for dampening or height (get Tein Basics for this)
|
|
Very straight forward install with easy to follow directions. You\'ll just need the basics like jackstands, socket set.
Be sure you have an alignment done after install or you will eat your tires.
Ride is superb, like on rails. Drop is nice and subtle without making the car look \"slammed\". The perfect compromise. With the suspension not being adjustable it is both a PRO and a CON. Its good for most cause you can\'t mess with it, but for people that know about suspension and how to tune them then this is very basic. If you crave more adjustibility then step-up to the Teins. Most don\'t need that, but some will that race, show, etc.

Rides like stock, handles better than stock
|
|
Cons:

none

It's not too bouncy like most lowered cars and still handles wonderfully. I definately recommend these to anyone who is serious about their B15.

Pros:

Amazing feel, nice look
|
|
Cons:
|
could have been a quarter inch lower for looks
|
|
I would recommend this product hands down. At 83k miles, my stock setup was starting to get uncomfortable. It's hard to explain how the ride feels stiff, but crazy comfortable. I love them and I would buy them again in a heartbeat. Only three draw backs: they could have been maybe ever so slightly lower, for looks. Also, the red finish on the spring was rubbed up from the way they were packaged. One of the screws broke during installation, but thankfully the stock screws were the same, so we just replaced it.
BREAK LOOSE/BREAKER BAR IS RECOMMENDED FOR THE BOLTS!!
Other than that, easy installation.
(deep well 14mm socket needed also, 6 point not 12 point.)

Pros:
|
reduced roll in all directions, mildly lowered looks, very comfortable ride
|
|
Cons:
|
(like any lowered suspension) careful around speed bumps and potholes
|
|
This kit completed my suspension set from Nismo: front sway, rear sway, lower tie. The difference once this piece was added (after the others) was very noticeable. My passengers are moved from their seats before the body rolls at all. Dropped the front down more than the back, so I also have better visibility directly in front of my car.
Changes the suspension structure a bit and eliminates the oversteer generated when accelerating through a corner. I have much better control over the car now. The dampening seems much better as well. I'm able to take quick corners over bumps while staying on the gas and I don't hear tires squeak or peep any more at the bumps.
Highly recommended upgrades before moving into power modifications!

Feels way better over stock, easy install took about 1hr 45min. The 1 inch drop looks good too. Sharp turns are amazing!
