You need to turn down the rear, you are too stiff.
You hook up in a rear wheel drive vehicle with
stiffer rear shocks. You would want a soft front
and a stiff rear, so that the font would lift to put
the power to the ground in the rear. However,
you are in a front wheel drive vehicle and are
not going to be doing any wheel stands anytime
soon. Tune up the front and soften up the rears.
Don't confuse the things that work on your buddies
Mustang with your Sentra. A lot of Honda guys do that.
You won't be needing wheelie bars anytime soon or anything
like that either. Your engine is located over your drive axle.
Also, you do not need to put your battery in the trunk, unless
you are in need of space under your hood for an intercooler or
something and the battery is in the way. There is not a severe
weight ratio difference with our cars like there is with a rwd car.
Do a few trials runs while tuning your suspension properly.
turn the front and rears until you are hooking up correctly. that's
what the knobs are for. You don't have 8 different settings in the
rear for no reason.
