I know it seems like a big difference, but I bet you would be surprised. Mesure a stock B14 from hub center to fender lip and see what you come up with for difference front to rear. Then compare what would happen with that 2.4" front 1.2" rear drop. That should give you an idea of the situation. As far as lowering springs go for a B14 I think a 1.2" rear drop would be a heck of a lot nicer then the others out there for travel reasons. I am not sure however about how much of a drop the front will take. Stiffness plays a role too. The stiffer they are the less chance you have of hitting the stops. IIRC the front rate of those is higher then any of the Eibach springs and these are linear rate, the Eibachs are progresive.

Damn Pat U seem to be the go to guy here in the Suspension world--You're on just about everythread....lol
SO Im getting the feeling that you think I should go ahead and try these springs...Im gonna try this measuring up thing U mentioned--MAYBE it'll make it easier for me to get them...
Sel I would luv to get in on a Group Buy but....I dont want to have to wait to have this all setup and then people start backing out and everything.....
I just know I have to get rid of these Arospeed crap coilovers ASAP!!
my car is screaming for a drop....i don't need Co's
I will not be doing anything but street driving or drag at the track...
but these springs sound good..
and the price is really catching..

Well I guess I should take a risk than--I mean I can tell they handle their business right cuz they already have the drops set according to how a Sentra really is

True. When I get suspension, I'll be getting something like 450f, 400r minimum though. If the Teins were at least 200-300f, I was considering them. It's alright though.

Look Im gonna be honest here Im not even sure how this rate thing works really....Barnoun you're saying U would want 450f-400r--That seems like such a big diff. from what these Teins have to offer--BUT
I dont get it---The Teins are 280f and you're saying if they were 200-300f U would consider them...

ahhh! Sorry for the confusion(don't know what I was on) I thought 280 was the rear rate. I'd like 450f/400r but that's kind of expensive. The teins do sound good at 280f/168r. Now I am considering them.
edit: Where did you find these springs? I checked on the teinusa.com site and they aren't listed.
