datto510 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) Here are a bunch of pics, in a sort of random order, of what me and by good buddy Tim(bucket on here) did today. Lowered it, added yellow fog lights, Hellas, H4 harness, Tim made up some custom lowering blocks. The stance is much better now. Pics, Enjoy! :lol::lol::lol::lol: Edited April 17, 2009 by datto510 Quote Link to comment

Dillion(Franks boy) paints his lenses a few times to get that deep yellow color I didn't want them to be too yellow. I did 3 coats but don't think I got a good picture of the final product. Rotas are for sedans. Im looking for some sweet 13's for this guy. Quote Link to comment

Icehouse Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 That looks awesome dude! Nice work guys! What are the clamps from, the ones you used on the struts? I've seen them on oldschool coilover kits. Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Looks good low. This is exactly how i will [redo] the front of my wagon. Did you cut the coil or simply drop it all down to the clamp? Correct me if im wrong...the distance the clamp is below the stock perch location is the amount of drop? & yeah Mc master carr is a wallet emptier :D I found the collar shaft clamps @ Grainger locally for $20 each.

datto510 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Your right PCD about the lowering of the clamp. Its basically a coilover without the coil. I did not cut my spring so the ride is still pretty nice, for a old wagon! I did however lose some suspension travel but I don't plan on ever driving this car hard. You could shorten your strut and still use the clamps though. Hope this helps! Looks good low. This is exactly how i will [redo] the front of my wagon.
