Just wanted to post this since there is basically zero information out there on the subject.

I took a gamble and ordered lowering springs for an 07-11 Nissan Versa. Someone on Instagram told me they fit toyovans.

Well they did actually fit my 1985 2wd van, but they are slightly smaller diameter so it's a snug fit.

Also they are longer, but softer than the Toyota springs, so they lowered the rear of my van about 1.25" without cutting anything. I could not reuse either rubber spring cushion.

I may end up cutting them to get lower, but I'm just glad I was able to save my original springs.

I put on new KYB shocks too. The van rides very nice.

The front was very easy to lower. Just backed off the torsion bars about 2.5".

Awesome! What brand of coils did you go with? Also would you mind posting a pic? Thanks

The brand was Manzo. I picked them because they were the cheapest ones on Ebay, but they look really nice. They're blue.

I'll post a pic soon. I'm waiting to get my new wheels mounted so I can post a series of pics of this awesome van.

Right on! I’ll ordered some as well I’ll share after they’re installed

Hopefully the attachment works! Ha. This is how it’s sitting using said manzo springs in the rear and 15 counter rotations on the front torsion bars! I am really digging the stiffness she’s cruising at right now but not quite low enough for me so I’ll probably be cutting the springs as well...

I dont know suspension at all so I just to make sure I understand.

You bought the Manzo 07-11 Nissan Versa Lowering kit.
Are these them? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Manzo-Lower-Lowering-Coil-Spring-For-07-11-Nissan-Versa-C11-Drop-F-2-R-1-75/182263128717?epid=1238988441&hash=item2a6fbaa28d:g:i0kAAOSw-wJZ-PpP

Did you install the springs on all 4 tires?

Which model of KYB shocks? and do you install them on all 4 as well.

Thanks for the response. I totally want to do this to my van.
