I think I remember hearing the Megans are about the lowest you can go. When I had my Versa I had the Tanabe's… can't remember exactly which model they were though. It was roughly an inch drop.
spring advice
I'm interested in dropping my v 1" with springs. I've looked around but most of the time the springs don't list how much of a drop you get. I'm leaning towards Megans... how Much of a drop would I expect? Any others that would give me about an inch?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Thats too low for me! I'd have an anxiety attack!go with megan springs 2 inch front and 1.75 rear
I have TEIN springs on mine and love them. They're around 1.5in. all around.
How careful do you have to be with pot holes, intersections, etc.? Is it a big difference in how much caution you must take compared to the stock suspension?I have TEIN springs on mine and love them. They're around 1.5in. all around.
A lot more caution. You will rip the bumper off if you're not careful.How careful do you have to be with pot holes, intersections, etc.? Is it a big difference in how much caution you must take compared to the stock suspension?
I agree. The car isn't much lower than stock but it looks and rides a lot better.
JoshG, do you have to drive very cautiously? Just not sure if it's worth it for me. Haha but basically I just want someone to tell me "It's not that bad."I agree. The car isn't much lower than stock but it looks and rides a lot better.
Haha It isn't that bad, it just depends on how the roads are. I drive normally, except when I see potholes or speed bumps...you definitely have to be careful with those.
Tanabe NF210 Lowing Springs
I have the Tanabe NF210 lowering springs installed. I love the look and all but the main problem is my location. I live in NYC and the roads here SUCK @$$. Dont get me wrong the springs run great when the road is smooth and i love it but if you are in a area with pot holes and bumps it might not be to comfy to ride in. Sometimes im on the highway and i go over a bump with a loud bang and it would hit hard enough for my window wipers to turn on. I cringe everytime this happens lol. So im switching to the Nismo Suspension kit or the Tein or Tanabe Coilover from BoB at versaspeed.

Dang coilovers are awesome but at a very different price point than springs.. I don't think I could get my wife on board for that kind of purchase!I have the Tanabe NF210 lowering springs installed.

springs
Yea the Nismo Suspension Kit is like 780$ and the Coilovers are about 100-200 more. But hey go for the Springs and try them out. Its not really much a problem if you live in a area with good road conditions. I have only used the Tanabe NF210 so i can only speak for those not sure about the other lowering springs like Megan, Tein, H&R, and Eibach. Maybe some of those could be better with rougher roads.Dang coilovers are awesome but at a very different price point than springs..

Yeah springs are a more distant plan but a plan, for sure! Roads here in Colorado are pretty good and I def. don't want to lower any more than 1.5".Yea the Nismo Suspension Kit is like 780$ and the Coilovers are about 100-200 more.

true because my car drives so much better a 17s look good on it but I really want coilovers but they are so expensive anyone know were I could get some for cheap or at least reasonable any brands 820 is the cheapest I found
You're telling me, my city puts manhole covers in a road track... what a stupid fucking idea.I have the Tanabe NF210 lowering springs installed.
