kiznook Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 so i got my coilovers on today, and as it turns out the cut ST springs i got for the rear are WAY to short. so now i have 250# coilovers up front and stock rear. i need rear springs or coilovers, if anyone has any for sale, or knows where to get them fast and fairly cheap (t3 price sucks!) i would love you forever. yes this IS crossposted from therealm, im desperate!

Bleach Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 from what I've compared, T3 has the lowest prices I've seen what is the rear spring diameter? I don't have 510 springs but maybe 280ZX rear springs will work for now? Link to comment
nismopu Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 He put the stock springs back in so he could drive it if need be but i think you should just hunker down and buy t3's rear coilover set. Then your suspension would be done for a while and you could really enjoy driving it. peace. Link to comment
oregondime Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 you could go this route :) i did http://datsun510.com/shop5/product_info.php?products_id=1&osCsid=4bf6c6e7b83bd7cbcd6a799a916280c2 Link to comment
kiznook Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 oregondime- how do you like them? I found those earlier today (re-found that is) and i started getting excited. But judging by the looks of one of my paychecks, i might need to save a bit. Do they have a shop (storefront) to visit, i know they're in portland. i really want the adjustability to go with my fronts, but MAYBE someone has some cheap springs for me. Does anyone know how much Specialty Eng. charges for rear springs? i meant to call them today but i got busy. I might also see if nismopu can make me some spacers...hmmm Link to comment
Jason Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I ended up paying $205.20 for a pair of Secialty Engineering front springs Kiznook so I imagine that the rears wouldn't be any more than that.... If you need a inexpensive solution go the wrecking yard and get a pair of front springs out of a 6 cylinder Dodge D50 pickup, they will fit, but, you'll have to cut a coil or so off I think to get the ride height you want. I've got a pair of the 4 cylinder Dodge D50 pickup front springs in the rear of my 4 door and they are OK, but, only about 30% stiffer than stock (think Nissan Euro spring rate). Link to comment
