Suspension Upgrade for DX/LX/EX with stock rims

dallas_mike · 02-15-2007, 05:11 PM

I want to upgrade my 07 LX Sedan. I do not plan on changing the rim diameter. I might put a 16" aluminum rim on it, in the future.

Before you say "search search search" I already did. After reading all of the write ups, I can not determine what the best combination is.

In the future, I might change the struts.
I will not change the springs, if they change the ride height. I do not want to lower the car. I lowered my 1996 Maxima in 2000 and after 7 years of rice krispies everytime it turned, I am glad I just got rid of the car. Those were H+R springs.

I have read all of the "how to's" on the sway bars. I have no problems swapping the bars or ordering the parts.

What is the best combination for stock rims/tires/springs/struts?

This is not a race car, just back and forth to the grocery store and an ocassional fast on/off ramp.
stock/stock
SI Front/ Stock Rear?
SI Front/ SI Rear ?
SI Front/ Trust Rear?
Progress/Progress ?
other/other ?

Just get a beefier rear sway and call it a day

I started out with the Si rear sway, then added the Si front a month later. The combo of the two greatly reduced body roll and keeps the backend from feeling so twitchy. I haven't done any other suspension work yet.

if you dont want "rice crispies".. get the hfp suspension.. which decreased body roll..
then there are the megan front and rear tie bars and H brace.. then theres this new product by d3.. the cross brace.. cannot be used in conjunction w/ the megan products.. then you can get the rear sway bar :].. oh yeah then the strut bar :]
