Default Anyone ever swap springs...

... in their car? Planning on putting springs from a b15 Sentra SER spec-V into my non-SER spec-v Sentra. The car should handle better, anyone have any experience with Nissans?

Just like most FWD cars. The rears are super-easy. The fronts are easy, but will require a spring compressor. I'd consider replacing the shocks while you're at it. Stiffer springs with worn out shocks aren't going to help anything. And don't forget an alignment when you're done.

I'm sure if you search Google, you can find a DIY strut replacement guide for your car.

Runner,
I saw you at the UTI meet in Orlando. I don't recall you saying anything
about a spring swap. Did you get it done OK?-Bob
