    ano bang ride mo at walang lowering spring?

    never ever drop a car by using methods like cutting (no word as cutTED dude) and heated springs.

    the PORMA is not worth the compromise between safety, comfort, money saved from broken parts and plain PORMA.

    as an example:

    My 2000 Sentra: (based on a true story)
    1. Cut springs

    2. Ride becomes unstable at certain speeds

    3. Re-alignment done

    4. After three months on manila roads, suspension becomes noisy.

    5. Prematurely worn bushings: steering arms, both sides - replaced

    6. Shocks become noisy

    7. Replaced rubber in shock seat / Re-alignment

    8. Finally disgusted, returned to stock.

    Total cost: around 18000 in work, including new stock springs (10k)... not satisfied... katok little brod on head, tell him... NEVER AGAIN!

    ONE MONTH LATER:
    1. Lowering Springs - 15k brand new
    2. 1 pair gas-shocks - (front lang) 5k
    3. Alignment
    4. No more problems... maporma pa.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    thanx for the replies bros my ride is an b12 sentra the so called box type. im really having a hard time finding a lowering spring for my car best alternative daw is ung pang b13 which the shocks fits only the front. i want my ride to be lowered rear and front.
