KlassicMotion Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm getting ready to swap my rear springs out and I noticed today that the rubber insulators on top of the spring is pretty badly cracked up. Are there any sources for these? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 The 510s are NLA but what about the 610 ones? Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Datsport lists they have an OEM setup for the 510.... I will look into it further. Quote Link to comment

KlassicMotion Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 :) http://www.racetep.com/datsunsusp.html Thanks Banana, I forgot about Top-end. I do dislike their website setup, but hopefully they will come though with the parts being stock! Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 i go the Top End ones and they are about half the thickness of the stock ones. So car is a little lower in the back so I cranked down the front to get the look I wanted. top end list 2 sizes so take this in to account Quote Link to comment

I will take that into account when I lower my car. Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 So, Datsport never responded to my request, and the same with Top-End Performance. I called Top-End and they have my request on file, but he is looking into what's going on.... In addition to my own procrastination, it's taking forever to get all the parts gathered for my suspension build.... Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Top-End came through for me. I've got a set of poly spring seats now. Thanks, guys. 1 Quote Link to comment
510T Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 After noticing this thread and having my car apart again I decided it was time for me to replace these too. The stock pieces are beat. I placed my order yesterday morning on the Top-End website and after a quick follow-up email to confirm shipping they were sent off. Should be here tomorrow... While the website is out of date at best, Top-End has great customer service and I would buy from them again with confidence. Thanks Banana and Klassic! :) 1 Quote Link to comment
510T Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 My spring insulators came in today; here is a referance oic for the difference between the sizes: The large size is 5/8" and the "stock" size is 5/16". So I guess the large size will only raise the rear about 5/16" or so compared to the smaller ones or your worn out stock parts. Quote Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Cool. Thanks for the pics. The ones I ordered were the ones on the right. I guess the ones on the left would be good for rally, or worn springs, or springs that were cut too short..... Quote Link to comment
