Logical1 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hey all, I'm looking for anybody's left over/extra/stock/junk coil springs you have lying around. Doesn't have to be from a Datsun... I need at least 2 springs with 4.5" OD and about 12" tall uncompressed and/or there abouts. I'm located in Seattle, Wa. Hoping to pick them up locally on cheap as I will most likely be test cutting and junking them once I work out the size I need for the load/travel. I am willing to drive just about anywhere within 200m :) Let me know what you got! Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Why not use D50 springs? Stiffer than stock. Link to comment
Dirk Diggler Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 He wants to cut them. When you do, cut one coil at a time from each spring and test ride height, then do more if you want more off. Make sure you cut them evenly too... Link to comment
Logical1 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm testing out building some custom spring perches for a solid rear-end in my secret project car, (not my dime :P) So only looking for springs with close to the dimensions to the ones I listed. Funny When I re-built My Dime's suspension I never even measured my rear springs because I had some ready to throw in! Rear 510 Springs aren't 4.5" O.D. are they? I was just looking at franks spring pile and couldn't find any that size. Link to comment
