Re: Datsun 1200 front springs
Why not just buy aftermarket springs? They'll be better as they won't settle and get uneven sag, you know exactly what drop you'll get out of them, they will be stiffer. Also the price won't be that much more. Compressing springs never has a great result I've found.

You need Hillman Avenger rear coils then have them compressed to suit - are alot stiffer than the dobi's i has in the y and are bang on for size.
Ive cut mine down to suit the r31 struts with 120y spring cups but compressing would be better - standard ones compressed will be way to soft - especially with the CA etc
