Default Springs + Shocks

Right, basically after a nightmare incident with the local scrappy (long story) my blue silvia has been crushed with all my suspension etc on it. So does anyone know anywhere that still sells lowering shock/springs?

Also i know 30psi has done the front coil-over conversion, what were the coil-overs off a 200sx? Do they not fit the rear?

Cheers in advance

Buy a conversion kit from Rally design, TAS or demon tweeks.

You can't do too much for the rear to be honest.

Been chatting to a freind about this.

Seeing as i cant buy front coil-overs on there own for love nor money, what kind if work would it take to "make" them fit the back?

Someone in America has done it, cant find the link though.

How ya mean?

No one at all sells anything for the S12.

If you buy them from TAS you can buy just enough to convert the struts to coilovers

Ok, when i said "they only sell them as a set". I was talking about s13 coilovers, and they only sell 2 front, 2 back at a time. No where would just sell me the two front coil-overs from a 200sx.

Yeah but i'm not using 200sx ones.

I've simply converted to using 2.25" springs and already had KYB's.

This meant I can vary the height of the car, have stiffer springs and most importantly use adjustable camber tops.
