Anybody know a good rim tire combo size on a classic with 2 inch drop. Rims and tires are stock but id like 16s but dont want to rub or cut anything. I searched the backlog and nobody had a 2 inch drop so if anyone can help I would realy appreciate it.

I dont think it really matters exactly how much drop you've got to be honest. Is teh car lowered 2 inches yet or are you just planning on this? Lowereing it inches would be a bad idea IMO, prokits are about 1.4 inches lowering and thats maybe even a bit too low, especially if you are going to be competing

I bought it a year ago and the guy I bought it from said 2 inches the only thing I know is that the strut tower thingys are orange and I think they say "kyb agx gas struts" I thought he told me they were adjustable to make the ride different but I dont know a darn thing about suspensions. I really Want 16 but I can always buy the cool looking 15" ser wheels. I also have a 94 probe gt with 18s and 40 series tires with a 2 inch drop from eibach and they fit smooth so I was wondering if 16s and 40 series would work just as well here. Its so hard to find 15"ser wheels for a good price or i would own them by now.

what kind of springs do you have that give a 2 inch drop?, especially on agx's, i thought they were supposed to raise the car up a little

Arospeed-OUCH!!!
Arospeed makes low quality products and their springs arent that great. If your ride is crappy, it may be because of these. I have also heard that the rear is slammed and the front is jacked with these.
To adjust your struts, use a small straight-blade screwdriver on the front under the hood. Line the little white dot up with the number, either 1,2,3 or 4. On the rear, crouch down and near the bottom of the strut there is a dial with numbers from 1-8. The lower numbers will make the car ride softer, the higer ones make it stiffer, but more controlled. Play aroun with the settings and see what works best for you.
If you dont like your ride, you may want to purchase a higher quality set of springs (like Eibach) or even go back to stock. Keep watching the for sale section, there will be many many sets of used Eibach pro kits for B13 sentras for sale within a couple of weeks. Trust me.

Right on! The ride is pretty shitty! I put eibach on my PGT and I think it was a better ride than factory! They are SICK when it comes to turns that car sticks to the road unlike no other. The se-r though sometimes I pray those tires hold up!! :)
