KYB struts, which springs?

Greetings again,

 

Recently, I've purchased the ST front sway bar and ES bushing kit. About a year ago, I replaced all the struts on my 240 with KYB inserts. What would be a decent spring that I can purchase? To tell the truth, I'm not really looking at changing the KYBs that I put in a year ago. Also, I am putting a 350 into the car, so I'm sure this will effect what type of springs I should purchase. I found these: http://www.alamomotorsports.com/products.html?http://www.alamomotorsports.com/sus_tech_nissan.htm But, I'm not sure if these would be strong enough, or if it would mess up my alignment, because it would drop the car 1". Help! :mrgreen:

Sorry to jump in here but I seek to know the same information.

What front spring size to use with coilovers? Here is my spring. 8 inches long, 2.5 I.D., rate 250, wire diameter .423, # of coils 7. Name: Eibach Springs 33/69 0800.250.0275

Drove the car with this spring in a couple of times. It didn't bottom soft but the whole front end was out of whack so it was hard to tell.

Maybe someone answer this question for both of us? Thanks!

Those actually look like pretty decent springs for the KYB's. The KYB's are not the stiffest strut around so I would think you don't want to go overboard with the spring rates. I run KYB's with the Datsun "Euro" springs (http://www.zcarparts.com). A decent street set up for a daily driver. Fits the stock perches so doesn't require coil overs. Definitely not a hard core set up compared to what a lot of guys on this site run on the street.

 

Not sure if there is a "better" spring, guess it would depend on what your idea of "better" is.
