Hmmm, i think that would probably look kinda tacky, but then again it's your car not mine. Just get coilovers, then you can mess around with how much of a drop you want.
yer not gonna make it far with just coilovers. if u go extreme drop past 2.5 inches then u need new struts for sure. i recommend KYB AGX...about $400 and GC coilovers $400
Well, if your hardcore about your suspension setup, you can save the $800 for it. It'll look nice and have great handeling, but if your just in it for looks, use that $800 on some wheels and go with a cheaper suspension setup. It won't ride or handle as good, but it will give you the look that your going for.
if yorue looking for that "honda street racer dumped car on black steels" you re gonna have some trouble. the body of sentra/200 is not same, and a 2 3/4" drop, which most here will say is way too much for the drivability. This will get your tires, regardless of rim size bc overall diameter of the wheel wont change much, to be about 1/4" from the fender, still not quite the dumped look. trust me, when i was 16, i wanted my b14 like that too, and i ruined the ride, and my suspension blew one hell of a lot sooner that it should have.
but yea, kyb AGX are great struts fro any lowering application, but again, youre gonna have some probs trying to get the dump you see on racer(ricer)-oriented hondas due to body differences
Here is a pic of my car (the black one) on stock 14" rims. The drop was 2.5" sprint drop springs, and nothing else.
Kirk's car (the blue one) is droped with coil-overs, and new stock struts.
Your not going to get any lower, unless you buy some shortened struts. Thoes run 250 each for the non threaded body, 350 if you want the threaded body, for an even lower and better ride.
well I'm going to raise mine back up because the ride is bumpy as hell, but on the coilovers you can get pretty much on the tire, the ride is just terrible, I had to raise mine up already from where it was lowered all the way, but with coilovers you can play around with it and see what is comfortable for you, also depends on road conditions in your state, some (CA) are worse than others
