New Zealand Datsun Club

I fitted stock 1200 front coils to the BBq trailer, just to make it roll, and you could bottom it out one handed, without the need to apply much effort at all. (Did have no shocks at the time, or at least they were completely fisted.

coilovers in the rear are not certifiable without strengthening the top and bottom mounting points of the shock. I have coilovers in the rear of my 510 and I am Going to attempt to pass cert with both coilover springs and a low rate spring in the original spring position. Might be pushing my luck but the coilovers in the rear make it handle awesome.

My 510 has coil overs in the rear and passed a cert without any strengthening at all and I've done 35000k like that with no sign of cracking or wear I guess it just depends on who you get to cert your car.

They have some nice looking straight bolt in rear adjustable suspension for 510 for $645.00 USD shipped to NZ.

Meh. Not body adjustable, only has a bushing at the top instead of a bearing. 5/10 would not bang.

I wouldn't have thought either of those matter for the rear?

No pivoting so bearing shouldn't be needed, and once you get your ride height dialled in why would it be a problem?
I would bang.

Would probably need a keeper spring to work for a cert in nz as everyone wants "max low" and it would become uncaptive.

Are these not upside down in the picture and the large round end is meant to have bushes in it - and the pin end with bushes goes in the top.

This makes it "bushed" at both ends anyway, perfectly fine on the street / mild track thrash.

Autolign in Hamilton (pretty sure / can find out) can make what ever you like up - and i think Shane 510BRE got his from Stocks and his look and work in a similar way.

Yes the photo is upside down and it is bushed at both ends. The only problem I could see, like you said, was whether the spring could be captive in situations of maximum low.

Otherwise, for my street machine I would be happy to run those shocks.

Now if somebody had a direct bolt in product supplied for same dosh that is better then I would be keen in a couple months to make a purchase.

Did you just direct quote brock as a reply?

No, I typed up a reply, hit return, page returned an error and posted it sans my actual reply. I then went to retype it and thought fuck it, Ill do it later.

In Short the reply was to say that I would love to buy locally for similar money a direct bolt in product if it was available.
