slowmomiata Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 i found this on partsgeek.com they are 100.25 free shipping monroe struts with built in spring and spring mounts, comes with all the rubber and nuts for mounting. the problem is they say they are for station wagons but i think this is the solution for 510 sedan/2dr rear coilovers that are prebuilt! idk the whole overall length on the setup but if you are looking for a lowering setup you should be able to cut the spring a little or even go to amazon.com and search godspeed civic lowering springs and buy a set of sleeves and use the springs for an insane drop while already having the spring mounts! has anyone ever bought these before seen them? any input on this monroe setup? i may email partsgeek and see if they can give me an overall length of the combo i have a make shift ghetto setup right now that works great on my car, if i am feeling giddy i might order these and see how it may work out for future info and guidance for a new diy coilover setup Quote Link to comment
slowmomiata Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 sorry about the small image, here is the link to the site http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/1972/nissan/510/suspension/shock_absorber.html Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Those are more like add a leafs. Designed for carrying heavier loads, they have progressive rate springs. I dont think these are up to the task, probably not a large enough spring rate. Just build yourself some coilovers and be done with it. Quote Link to comment
FiveTenzo Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 i think these are the ones that came with my 510. it had these and still and the stock springs in. Dont expect to go much low with these. i took out the stock springs and put ebay "coilover springs" slammed the car and blew the shocks. Now i have some Qa1 coilovers $500, cheaper that troy ermich and techno toy tunning coilovers, and they ride amazing with 300lb springs. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Those are helper load springs, not the same thing as coilovers. I can make rear 510 sedan coilovers for ~$400 Quote Link to comment
Zeusimo Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I Have Those On My Truck They Are Pretty Nice Truck Shocks For TRUCKS BTW They Raise Your Ride Height 2" Quote Link to comment
slowmomiata Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 i already built some rear coilovers but i was just wondering if these would work, guess not haha my coilovers are hands down the cheapest ratsun setup, 35 dollar amazon springs, stock replacement struts, and gate latches lol may be a little ghetto but the ride is actually pretty nice, i was just wondering if those would work Quote Link to comment
