  • I Put Coilovers On A Versa

    This is my 2007 Nissan Versa. I got it used with around 49k miles and I've had it for about 2 years. Its automatic, CVT transmission. When I first got the car I had no intentions of modding it at all but over time I caught the mod bug. Before this car I didn't even know what coilovers were, but now I'm looking into all sorts of crazy suspension kits. Since the car is CVT and slow af I have chosen not to waste time with crazy engine work, opting instead to focus on stance (which I am still never satisfied with and have big plans for).



    Mods:
    Stubby antenna
    Takeda Short Ram Intake
    Rear Wiper Delete
    Front Wiper Delete
    JDM Wind Deflectors
    2011+ Versa Grill
    OEM Rear Spoiler
    $20 Autozone Blast pipe tip :P

    Wheels/Tires:
    Avant Garde M240 17x8.5 et25
    195/40/r17
    Fender Roll


    Suspension:
    K Sport Kontrol Pro Coilovers with Universal Air Suspension Bags and manual paddle valves
    Front camber set to -2
    Rear Camber plates, about -6.6



    Future Plans:
    Spacers
    Rear Camber Kit
    Air Ride
    Forged Wheels

    I know this isn't a very commonly modded platform and there is only a handful of fitted versa's but that has been one of the most fun parts of this build and I couldn't be happier with the progress I have made. Now I just want to focus on perfecting my fitment. These wheels, while aren't considered very aggressive, on this chassis provide pretty tight fitment. With my mild fender roll I could sit lip to fender perfectly if I went lower. The only problem there is my rears are already maxed. At first I considered ordering swift springs and just upping the rates to be a static hero but honestly that is not practical for my 30min drive to school every morning. So for now the car is staying at the current ride height, but I am planning on bagging it at some point.

    UPDATE:
    Since this post I purchased an air ride kit consisting of universal air suspension bags and manual management. Now I can drive the car at about the same height that I was when I was static and park lower than ever before. Since UAS bags run wide, I had to add a 15mm spacer up front and then re-fit the wheels by adding camber and rolling out the fenders even more. The rear sat pretty well but I managed to get a set of -8 camber plates to get that tilted look. I then added a 5mm spacer to bring the lips of the wheels back out to the fender to achieve the fitment you see here:

    This thing is actually pretty dope. I was concerned at first. Love the 5 spokes but they look a little small. Can't wait to see this thing bagged on forged wheels.

        Maybe go 18s if you can I'd suggest some SSR SP1's for this once it's bagged

            I was thinking about SSR's or Work Meisters. But for now I'm gonna stick with these.

                      This is cool as fuck, I've always loved seeing uncommon stuff decked to the floor, you need to show us some more pics.
                      In for seeing what it's like on bags too

                          Is there a debadged front grill available for this car?

                          For some reason with the rest of the car looking as good as it does the front end just doesnt match up IMO. Cant quite put my finger on what it is but im sure a few little changes and it would look damn good

                            Imo don't debadge it, I think cars with no badge on the front look a bit... weird
