    are springs of the same car brand interchangeable? for example, cefiro and sentra, civic and accord, pwede ba pagpalitin? kasi i want to lower the front of my cefiro by half inch lang. wala naman ganong lowering spring na .5 lang ang drop. maybe if i buy the OE front springs of sentra, then because of the heavier engine of the cefiro, mas malolower sha ng konti.

    help please.

    nope hindi sila interchangeable. ask fusrion R kung meron silang available na H&R OE drop (1") for your cefiro.

    di nga sya pwede interchange dude. springs are made specifically for a certain type of car.

    Some can be interchanged but you will have to experiment.

    Nissan Patrol GQ springs can fit some Pajero models.

    GEN II Pajero coil springs can be put into GEN I Pajero's [with coil rear] for a bit of a lift.

    Ika nga nila, if the shoe fits. hehehe.

    You can get the lowering springs which will lowe your car about 1.5 inches... then add rubber "lifters" which will add 1 inch in ride height.

    ayos yang naisip ni ghosthunter ah... tama nga naman... less 1.5 inch then add 1.0 inch then you get a .5 inch drop!

    pwede rin yung lifter option. pero better sana if can get other shorter stock springs para cheaper and the ride woudn't be as stiff. so how do i determine if springs are interchangeable? top and bottom diameter??

    sometimes (and just sometimes) the JDM version springs are lower than the local version stock springs.

    Sentra springs are interchangeable between three year models... B13 sentra SHOCKS will lower newere Sentras by 1". You could try looking at different years of Cefiro, or look at spring heights on US Maximas.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
