2 ?'s on lowering

96sentra · Sep 9th, 2003, 05:33 PM

if i were to buy tein springs for like a 96 ser, would it fit a 96 sentra? and, how low approx. can u go w/o camber kit or whatever u need? on tirerack.com i saw a thing eibach sells for my car and its 24.00 for something to do with the camber but it said for fron only.

Yes, they would fit.

How low you can go depends on what you want your camber to be after the swap.

The reason the kit is only for the front is that the front will change camber when you lower. The rear wont. B14s dont have adjustible rear camber.

o i c. i just dont want any camber wear on the tires. i dont care about turning sharp and fast or what not.

Toe wears tires faster than camber.

save your money and get a better setup......trust me, suspension is something u definetaly dont wanna cheap out on. i found out the hard way

Unless you get a proper camber kit (i.e. from GC, $tillen, etc.), any sort of drop is going to cause wear on your tires (some more than others).

Get an alignment and you should be ok.

Toe is an easy fix, just get an alignment after. You have to when you lower a car anyway.

I hope you know that with those springs your car will ride like crap. Read the eibach problems thread at the top of the suspension section. All of it.

Toe is EASY to fix. You just need to flat plates and a tape measure along with the correct size wrenches for adjusting the tie-rods. Don't even have to take the wheels off.

Camber, now that requires money and some suspension disassembly...

You can fix the toe yourself with a couple of aluminium plates and 2 tape measures.

bahearn · Sep 11th, 2003, 12:23 PM

Isn't that what I wrote? And you only need one tape, though in that case a pencil and scrap paper could come in handy if your short term memory is missing.

Sorry. I sometimes skim through posts as many are often a waste of time.
