Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 oooooo k pics u may need... im running 13x7 rims, 2 inch blocks w/ overload leaf removed, uncut bumpstops. Ride is a bit bouncy but tolerable. If your gonna run 3 inch blocks id say trim the stops..dont forget theres a 3rd block right above the pumpkin...trim that 1 too or remove if ness.

Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hey no worries..pics always help. Id like to see how yours sits w/ the 3 inch blocks. For rims..keep checking Craigslist. Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 3" blocks with 17X7 wheels Quote Link to comment
jonesy510 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 17 r big i think... but that is a very clean goon. Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I personally don't like many of the newer ricer kinda wheels on the 510. The Z car wheels always look nice,as so do panasports,rota rb,s or nice too. My personal fav is the koing rewinds. Quote Link to comment
jonesy510 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 i finally lowered the back with the 3 inch blocks and cut the front springs until i get money for coil overs. i did some chopping and removed all the stops so it doesn't sound like a jack hammer is under my car :lol:. but the drive line still barely rubs when i get some weight in the back so finishing touches are been done. i dont have a camera so i can put up pictures yet but i should b able to post some soon :P. now its time to start planning on if i want to swap for a L20 or a ka :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
