lowering 95 sentra

skeeter149 · Jul 4th, 2002, 02:09 AM

hi all, i was wondering i wanted to lower my 95 sentra gxe and saw that they said not to go under 1.5 inches. my question is i was looking at the eibach 1.4 and went to a shop that said i would have to get a new camber set priced at 550 for the springs labor and alignment. this seems high and i was curious do i need the alignment/cambers or should i shop around?

Wow I wanted to lower my car as well I didn't know it would be that much...

I really want to hear what people have paid..

So the shop is selling you the Eibach springs, the alignment, and the labor for $550?? That is too much. I dont know if you need a new camber set. 1.4 isnt that much of an aggressive drop. I plan to do a 2" drop and I definetely would need new camber.

you wont need a camber kit unless you really want adjustable camber THAT bad. the only camber i saw when doing my own alignment in school was a -1.0 on the front left or right, i forgot. but it rides great, id recommend the eibach prokits + kyb agx combo, it makes it a whole much funner.

I lowered my car with Eibach pro-kit and you don't need the alignment kit.
You said $550.00 for the springs + installation??
I paid $450.00 just for installation
I agree with aznvirus best combination kyb-agx+pro-kits
Handling is awesome.
I think is -1.0 front right

or you can buy gold line lowering springs that around $190 for a set of 4 .. give you a 2 inch drop

i bought my eibach pro-kit for 235 and put them on myself and then aligned them, they still fell within specs, and like everybody said, 1.4 is not too much to need a camber kit, rule is if you go lower than 1.5", then, unfotunately you will need a camber kit, and who has it, i think stillen and jwt, also the only thing adjustable on a stock b14 is the front toe, no rear camber/toe and no front camber/caster, which kinda really suck because it shows "how much they spent on designing our suspension", also i've heard about these gold lines, i think, that they don't pay too much attention to performance, just for the heck of dropping the car, but it's your choice, "be enlightened grasshopper......"

try e bay I got almost brand new sprint springs for 50 bucks and I got ingalls camber kit for like 20 bucks but jus the -1 camber wasnt really enuff for the 2 in drop to the alignment guy tightened the tie rods on my car so it met th requirements so it didnt camber out at all

azkicker0027 · Jul 5th, 2002, 07:54 PM

ingalls camber kit, what does it consist of, i also need info, might plan on dropping the car some more.....

You sould not need a camber kit! If you take your car to a good shop, tehy should be able to set it to specs. I have a '95 200SX with Eibach Sportline's on AGX's. I didn't get any additional aligment kist or anything alike. Once I got my new wheels, I took it to a local (very reputable) tire shop. The guys said that it was an easy aligment job. So if they could align it with sportlines, I'm sure Pro's won't be that much of a headache.

if 1.4 " isnt low enough for you then go with the 2 inch drop from gold lines.

the camber kit is jus some bolt that are thinner but they bulge on a side to adjust camber the dont cost much like 20 bucks or so not really wallet breaker

Black200SXSER · Jul 7th, 2002, 02:57 AM

But you wont need them..and they can slip...

azkicker0027 · Jul 7th, 2002, 09:08 PM

so how low do sportlines drop the car anyway???
also those bolts on that camber kit, are they a direct replacement to the bolts that go in the strut to the steering knuckle???
