How To: 5lug Conversion, And Home Made Coilovers

ok so im woundering what  is good to use for a shock/spring set up  im not looking to lower this is like a rally car suspension. im on bumpy roads/hilly and some dirt. looking for  springs i can get from junk yard  but need to know what type car to look for? my car is a 84 MkI solid axle? and going to have either 175 or 185 snow tires on it if that matters  any help is good im not to good with suspension lol.

I would recommend finding a car with the setup you like and try to copy it.
additionally you could find out the length and diameter of the 200sx oem spring and find a car that may have similar specs.
Short answer I'm not to sure

best of luck

should have explained better like say how is putting in 3rd gen camaro springs in for hight increase and suspension travel  or ect the car might be getting drivin like in the photo idk i got some good dirt roads so i need a suspension that isnt going to blow apart and can take some hits

I've taken a break from 200sx for a couple years so my knowledge on stock spring sizes is a little rusty
but I believe you want a 2.5 diameter spring for the front and a 5 diameter for the rear. now for ride hight you're going to have to do a little bit of research but if you're looking at junk yard this could be a place to start. just read up on 200sx/280z front/ 300zx rear springs.
I'd be very interested to know how this works for you so keep me up to date
