Duke Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 your going to need some insane spring rates to make this worth it like 2000lb springs Why would he need 2000# springs? I would say 900-1200# should be just about right depending on his intended use of the car. 1 Quote Link to comment
charlie6178 Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Good call duke lol yeah 2000lbs springs?? I don't want the thing to ride like a dump truck! But I do want it stiff enough to not let the wheel slam into the body over a bump lol Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 i was exaggerating im just saying due to leverage he will need much higher spring rates Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 For sure. I run 1200# springs to give me ~300# wheel rate. The leverage ratio for a spring in the stock location is 3.8:1. So multiply whatever wheel rate you want to run by 3.8 and that will give you the spring rate for the stock location. Quote Link to comment
jnec510 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 update got the coils in all around. sitting pretty good has 6in of adjustablity in front and about 3in in the rear. alot of camber in front ( soon to have camber plates) an not to bad n the rear do to the slotted crossmember. also fitted the valance and remounted te fenders. a very productive night.

charlie6178 Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 it's sitting pretty low now lol i have the fiberglass valance on it, and the spook on it now, aswell as ll of the front trim (hood trim is on now) it looks AWESOME! i can't decide if i want to put the front bumper on it yet tho. i guess we will see when we roll it outside and can step back and take a better look. i broke out the plasma cutter this weekend and built a set of rear brake brackets, now we are just waiting on our local baxters to get the 200SX rotors in today so we can throw it all on and hook up the lines! then.... it'll be on the road once again! my boy jason hooked it all up and got me a homie hookup on a B210 power booster and master setup too :) more pics to come!

mosarto Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 the 84-88 200sx s12 uses about the same set up as this. megan sells it for 800 on ebay. if you convert to the s12 front crossmember and power rack then use the s13 (240sx) hubs and brakes (wich is what im doing) there a direct bolt... ROFL. and the car dont look that bad im looking at it sitting in my garage right now and it looks far cleaner then my gutted/butchered 4 door. plus i think as low as he s going he wont need to worry about tightening the screw cause the suspension will be bottomed out any way. is magan still out their?, mike Quote Link to comment
