I'm about to put on a set of 15" Rota group n's (black with red lip) on my black sentra, but i'm trying to figure out if i need to drop my car. And if i do need to drop it, how much should i drop? This is the first major mod on my car since i got it last year. And plan to install CAI, bigger brakes and exhaust.

would it help if i get new springs? I read Tein S tech springs are good..

New springs, shortened shocks/struts, bumpstops all the good stuff. Check out the suspension forum for more.

As for dropping the car, I wouldn't go more than 1.5" to 2" at the very most. I probably won't drop my car that low because of the horrid Dallas, Tx streets. I have two words for you though: "Ground Control". Go to http://nissanperformancemag.com/sept...spension.shtml to see an awesome setup. The coolest part about that suspension is that you can have it for under $1500, and have one of the best handling FF cars there is. People just dont realize how great this car is....

Our cars would be better if we had a better suspension setup to begin with. Just imagine what we could do with more suspension travel . . . . STOCK.
