Essensial Mods: Springs and Steering wheel

[_AF_]

Hi, I have not long got a K11 Micra and Ive been lurking on here looking for answers to a few questions. I am sorry for bringing up old issues but I am looking for some definitive answers on some basic mods before I rush in and waste my money:blush:

Is there a noticeable difference between these spring kits?
Will they both fit? Are there any complications?

I am also looking for a Boss kit, but the ones on ebay all say that they are only suitable for non airbag models. Why would this be a problem?

Also, anyone got some good advice and pictures of fitting a 4 point harness?

lk performance ones are rather good as i have them ones atm, stiffens up the ride and improves handling. the apex ones will be better but in my opinion it wont be noticeable unless you uprate your shocks. depends on persenel preference tbh

the apex ones will be better. the lk ones are budget brand.

50mm would be better for a track weapon (and some negative camber on the front) an aftermarket steering wheel will have no airbag, and there are sure to be some pics of harness,s in the rally blogs :grinning:

Thanks for that, so the non airbag bit refers to the aftermarket wheel rather than the original wheel.

I would like to go lower but thought there would be problems doing this with standard length shocks?
Im on a very small budget + trying to use as many bits as I have in stock

Ive been at the scrap yard today, loads of Micra K11s. Unfortunately they're all on top of S13 200sx or 300s and really close together.
