AWD Lowering Springs and Coilovers

[KyleKidd]

It's awesome we are working on after market parts, however I kinda like the height the Juke is at.

Though I'm not saying it would be bad to be able to choose to lower.

Hey Gunmetal...How did things turn out at Eibach's with fitment testing of their Prokit Springs on your AWD Juke??

[gunmetal]

Got the car back from Eibach. The kit is not in production yet so for those of you who want to lower your AWD Juke, give Eibach a call so they know there is interest in the kit so they can start making it.

On my test kit, the front was lowered 1.5 inches and the rear is 1 inch so there is a slight rake with the car and it looks nice. For the production kit, they will lower the back a little bit more but they have all the necessary information to have a full production kit built.

As for ride quality, the ride is nice but I still would prefer less roll on the car. That will only happen if I get coilovers and sway bars and no one makes those for the AWD Juke. To be honest, I think it feels better than it did stock but I have been driving a very stiff ride lately so anything feels great. Handling seems to be improved from what I remembered but I was not driving the car too hard. The good news is I have yet to bottom out because that is normally the biggest disadvantage of springs vs coilovers.

Glad to see to you finally got it back!!...yeah that is a much bigger 'rake" than I would have expected to see too (1.5" fronts and 1" rears)...Mine ended up with a uniform 1.25" drop for both front and rears for the FWD Juke with Eibach's Prokits and I really wouldn't want to lower it any further myself...and btw..with "good" springs like the Eibach's and only a 1.25" drop I never come close to bottoming out at all and my ride was significantly improved...

Glad to see you guys with AWD's are maybe finally getting some springs...

Yes please!

Lowering this guy is probably the last thing I intend to do until the warranty runs out. Maybe some IC pipes when Injen gets them out. The day after the warranty is up, bring on the ECU chip and a boost controller.

gunmetal hows the springs on the awd?

Looks like an equal length or a t3 or so? External wastegate... Dump to atmosphere!!

They were Versa, got it down to 4 hours to swap by myself, but still a headache.

That was the plan, however the Sentra build has taken up all my money. Just got this in yesterday.....


I hardly drive the Juke now that I can carpool with my wife. Maybe in a year when the Sentra is done I will return to playing with the Juke.

I would love some lowering springs for my AWD
