Wanting to Buy Springs which will fit in and lower my 1200 Coupe, probably about 50mm will go lower if anyone has anything.

no one makes 50mm lowered springs. They will require shorter shocks + possibly a cert depending how done = therefore cannot buy them off the shelf

Re: Datsun 1200 Coupe
yeah thats the problem. you cant get "super-lows" for B110's. only lows, which only drop a pathetic 25-30mm.
The quick tried and true cheap way is what I did with my 120Y, cut down avenger rear springs (I have heard they are about 200 pound spring rate) coupled with replacing the oil in the shocks, and fitted a pipe collar inside to shorten stroke of the shock and ensure the spring remains captive.
I am sure a lot of people have done this upgrade, and got wof's without the need for cert.
