whoa? is that 200kg/mm?

if so, that is a very very very VERY stiff spring.

(only working with front shocks here)

ok so I have had a play around with the kit which sits on a step just above where the stock spring sits and is held on with grub screws...

The issue I found was that if you have the shock lowered there was not much travel in the shock because the spring that comes with it is so short.

I wanted the car to sit lower so decided to look for a shock that had a shorter body......

I got a new pair of 300zx shocks for $100, which are a fair bit shorter in the body, now with the coilover wound all the way down the car basically sits on the ground, looks really cool. Hopefully it will do the job weith no issues but all up has cost me about $250 for the pair and I have the spares for the rear.

The springs dont seem to stiff, I can still bounce the front end up and down a bit...
