Micra K13 Lower/Firmer Suspension info needed

[adrian17]

Hi there!

I got a Nissan Micra K13 1.2 x-cvt as a present about 6 months ago. Weird present, aye?

Now, after seeing some tuned K13, I decided that a suspension upgrade might cheer the car up, as the factory settings are too soft and there is massive body roll.

My question is: what suspension model fits the Micra K13? I do not mind what type it is. It might be simple as dampers+shocks or coilovers. I've also seen some springs that go over the factory shocks: http://eibach.lowering-springs.com/...ro-Kit-E10-63-023-01-22_16588_56_539_3017.jsp. Are they any good? Or it will make the ride worst?

I had springs on my k12, 30mm and they handled alright

These are a little cheaper

I might go with the eibach. The reviews say that the ride is better on the eibach springs. I wish there were more companies to produce sport shocks (dampers) also.

I've also found this: http://www.thaimarch.com/index.php?topic=24108.0. KYB produces sport shocks for K13s. Also TEIN have a coilover kit available. If I remember it is about 1500$.

BC racing ones - not sure if these are any good?
Eibach - just for lowering
Tien look best but think purpose is lowering/street look more than suspension improvement?- also pricey
Fitting side skirts + front spoiler (available from Nissan) would make car look lower if that's all your after?

Found 2 other suppliers of coilovers look at www.race.fi seem to list under Micra K13 type 1 and type 2 with different products inc street, race and high travel rally gravel. If not a mistake look very good but pricey.
Also www.cusco.co.jp look good

Thank you! It's not all about street looks, because the stock set-up is very hard on straights (you can feel every imperfection) but very soft on cornering (lot of body roll). It will also improve the handling I'll check the sites and I'll post my decision.
