LilBullit Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Hey 1200's, My suspension is in decent shape minus cut springs. I'm considering coilovers, anybody have any recommendations? I found a coilover WELD kit for 1200's from Groundcontrol for $199. Anybody use these?? Thx 1 Quote Link to comment
JohnVander Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 There's also a setup from Paradise racing for the front and rear, it's in the tech wiki here http://datsun1200.co...itle=Coilovers. I'm seriously considering their "Full Magilla" for $675... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 If you are adjusting your ride height once a day or you're rich, then get coil overs. If you need to lower and set your ride height and probably never adjust it again unless changing tire size then coil overs are kind of a waste don't you think? Here's a $50 way to lower the ride height, make it adjustable, increase the spring rate and re-new the strut dampening. No welding. Use only an angle grinder. http://community.rat...__fromsearch__1 Quote Link to comment
SakuraGarage Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Anyone ever seen what the paradise racing rear coilover conversion looks like instaled? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Never seen it. Sometimes guys go to a 3-link or 4-link when converting their 1200s to rear coilover suspension. Or just remove all but the main leaf and use the coilovers as supplemental springs. See http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Coilovers#Rear Quote Link to comment
