SUSPENSION FAQ! READ FIRST!
#27
very kick ___ sticky, im new to tuning the tc, got rid of my 01 sentra se, and didnt know if alot of the same concepts for lowering the sentra apllied to the tc, but im generally seeing that the tc seems to have a much tougher base suspension, more capable of handling lowering without getting into replacing the struts right away, again bad ___ sticky, and thanks...

Okay, difference in struts vs sways?
Both stiffen the car up which helps handling by limiting body roll correct?
If I'm just slowly modding my car and not going to be racing or auto-x or anything is one better than the other? I do plan on getting rims/lowering someday, but funds are limited and I'm just looking for some good bang for the buck performance mods..

very helpful I just ordered some s-techs! ive always wanted to cop some tein basics but by the looks of my cash flow right now, it'll have to wait for awhile. I like the look of the tC slammed a LOT. hopefully the s-techs will be satisfactory....

Thank you for your guide, I've been looking for something like it.
In the debate of springs&struts vs coilovers, I was wondering what is better for the long term for a DD? Which set up will last longer?
Also, are springs = shocks the same thing? O_o confusing terminology...
TY in advance!

Springs: the coiled part that goes around the outside
Struts/Shocks: the inner part with the tube that extends and compresses.

Do you need an alignment after you install let's say a TRD Front Strut Bar and a TRD Rear Sway Bar? If so would I need to do the front or the back or both?
I dropped my tC on TRD Springs and just got it aligned when I put new tires on it and I might be getting both of the above items around Christmas time but I don't want to drop the $$$ for another alignment if I don't have to.
