Xylemer Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 That is a coilover set-up. Not a bad way to go if you do not plan to section. I think you would have to remove the lower spring perch. I would wanna know what the spring rates are. Looks like shocks and this kit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Racing-Dual-Coil-overs-Coilovers-DATSUN-240Z-70-74-NEW_W0QQitemZ390108170342QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item5ad4424866 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Looks like coilovers to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKrispy1183 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Looks a lot like a Weapon*R produced kit I ran years ago on my B13 Sentra. The spring rates on both the main and helper springs are likely unknown and generic across the board as far as other applications. My setup handled well, but the ride on even the most normals roads was bouncy as all hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpowered280z Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 i got all of this from modern-motorsport.com i have been running this kit on this control arm setup with the tokico illumina 5-way adjustable strut inserts. with the energy suspension bushings. only thing about the spring kit, is that you have to disassemble the strut tubes, clean them out, clean the tube, weld on the spring perch that they provide, then reassemble. its very straight forward. only reason i decided to change the control arm is that i wanted to be able to fully set the suspension geometry according to my taste. ill tell you what, replacing that damned spindle bolt is retarded. 15 tons of pressure on a press after heating it up, bought new spindle bolts from nissan for only like 15$ Lloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shika805 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 yup you gotta replace the spring perch with a new one to fit the threaded collar.... here's mine with the ground control collar perch that came with my kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
