    Brandnew? Maybe 10-15k, if you're lucky. And since there are many brands and types available for the Civic, it's easy to get lucky.

    Maybe 4k-8k secondhand, depending on how expensive the springs were when new and how used they are.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    how much of a drop are you looking for? are you looking to for stiffer spring rates as well or do you wanna keep the ride comfy? I might be able to hook you up... do you have a coupe or hatch? hit up my yahoo messenger: driftoholic1 or email me at driftoholic1*gmail.com

    i've also been thinking a lot about lowering my ride.

    can i just install lowering springs without replacing my shocks?

    anybody got a good idea what brand/type of lowering spring would be best for a sentra b13? a 1.25 inch drop would do... i'd also want to keep my ride comfortable - my in-laws usually ride with me... hehe

    i'm planning to get 16" rims and 45/205 tires. kasya kaya yun - i mean, sana di sumayad sa fender when cornering.

    thanks guys!

    ...I would recommend Tanabe NF210: http://tanabe-usa.com/springs/nf210.asp or Tein H Tech: http://www.tein.com/htech.html I'm not sure about the application for your car tho'

    you can get away with using your stock shocks but that all depends on your current shock's condition.

    205/45/16 is okey for your car but you need to know your wheel (rim)offset. Your Sentra offset is I believe 40 to 42. Just make sure doesnt rub your fender.
    Also, 1.25 is ideal drop but, maybe just maybe youll going to need a camber kit. Ask your installer or tech when they do allignment on your car after all the installation ....if you need one.
