would be better if a set of springs were brought in.

This thread was saved without dates. "Around May 2005" is estimated from neighbouring threads.
Indy...turn your phone on or PM me .....
hahaha sorry.
update guys...
I'll be picking up the springs and meeting yet another S12 member 2morrow :D
AND...my phone # is now removed lol
Raymond, pm me your addy and phone #...
sorry I couldn't get them just now, I was in my car.
Kids, you are dealing with two Surrey boys (well, one Surrey and one ex) so the only obstacle is will these springs be made and at a reasonable price. Pm on it's way Indy.......
Maby I'm crazy but I'd like something in the neighborhood of 450-500lbs but only a .75" drop.
hahaha I don't think that would drop much at all..
but yea...e-mail CMS and ask them about custom springs once they get the measurements from me and bossman

Certifiably crazy! LOL Unless you're off the pavement a lot, there's no point in keeping all that ground clearance. I bet the stock ride height of these cars could rival a Subaru Outback! :laugh: Now, if you think your car is already low enough, maybe your springs are sagging quite a bit? If that's the case, and you ask for a .75" drop, you may end up raising your car.

E-mail sent!!! :evillaug:
I'd like some 400lb front 350lb rear linear with a 1.75" drop and camber correction. Especially if it is only $100-$124 CND. :hitit:
400 front
350 Rear
I'm all for it. Drop I dont care, and I dont care about wear either, car doesnt go on the street daily anyway..
Someone make up a generic email letter for the company and I will send them that for an email...I dunno what to put for an email daz why..haha..

This guy is the first S12 drifter in VDS ;) hehe
Wow! My race car had like 56% front weight. It was freakin rediculous. I guess the interiors in these cars weigh more than I thought. We also had all the glass out of it (including the heavy rear hatch window), and had a lexan front windshield, but man, that's good to know! :laugh:
400 in the front seems fine to me and 350 rear is just about right any drop is fine by me.
Im down, 4 shure.....Hola me a email or keep us posted with the springs. 400lbs front and 350 rear should be a killer street set up. :wall: Cant wait!
Road and Track lists the 1984 200sx Turbo as having a 52/48 front/rear weight distribution but that is with a driver it says in the notes.
im in for some 400 lb front and 350lb w/ camber kit as well
Uhhh, now how much will this golden opportunity cost for us in the states? I'm not up on the currency exchange rates right now. But it sounds cheap I would want a set!!
I think the current exchange rate is 1.22?
so like... $81 - $122USD + shipping?
maybe more, maybe less? these are really good prices. none of their springs listed in the online catalog exceed $122.
Wow, I will get a set... At those prices, count me in!!
heh nice
check the updated info.
