Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has a pic of a micra on 13" wheels and is lowered by 40mm? Just want to see how it sits before i purchase a set of springs.
Thanks in advance!:) |

i have G4s they are cheap coilovers but hard to find the D2s or BCs are your best bet
product number of the d2s are n07 if that helps. but cheap your best bet is lovell springs (drop about 40mm) |

Yeah i got offered a set of lovell springs with 40mm, hence why i was asking for a pic but after seeing that, i think i'll need lower. i want it to sit just about the wheels pleasee sell me your G4s:) |

no the ones sikk11 was selling. due to shipping issues they took awhile to arrive but they went in and are sitting nicely might drop them lower when I get my new rims.

any lower than 30-40mm on micra shox creates problems with springs coming out of seats an extremly stiff ride, save up a bit an wait 4 some coilovers to come up an then b quick

How many coils did you cut off your std springs Rudy? And did that sit them fairly low?

Greo WROTE: "no the ones sikk11 was selling. due to shipping issues they took awhile to arrive but they went in and are sitting nicely might drop them lower when I get my new rims." Ahh right, i asked him about those G4s and i was too late:( Rudy WROTE: "any lower than 30-40mm on micra shox creates problems with springs coming out of seats an extremly stiff ride, save up a bit an wait 4 some coilovers to come up an then b quick" Yeah i know about them popping out of the seating, will need to work that out. nsm WROTE: "Dont forget that anything lower than 1 1/2 or 40mm you will have trouble with insurance etc... Nick..." I dont think the insurance will matter, ive never had any problems with all the cars ive had being lowered more than 50mm Rudy WROTE: "hey nick, if u decide to go cut std springs, I have some already cut u can hav 4 free, I couldnt use them any more bcause my car is a country micra an I couldnt get up a few farm driveways, dont hav pics of them on car but they r probably the height ur after" PM sent! Thanks for that Rudy. Saves me from having to cut my own.. legend! |
