Just fitted my lowered suspension -35mm from Germany (TUV approved etc).
I am running 13" 175's and there is no rubbing and the performance is amazing, this is how Nissan should have done it!
I took it to my local garage to have it fitted, while there I got the shocks changed too. My question is this, the springs are progressive meaning that the coils become more dence at one end of the spring. I presume the way this would work is too fit the springs with the dense end near the top of the strut, this was possible for the front but not the rear, is this correct?
Also I have gas shocks on the rear and liquid Monroe shocks on the front, the front feels alot stiffer. I have observed other Micra's on the road and see that there is much movment in the rear at about 40+ mph, again is the normal, is the rear suspension more of a primative setup then the front?
Can anyone with lowered suspension or the knowledge please confirm...
Thanks
