well i put in the springs that i got off snoopy.....
and decided to change the front struts and rear shocks at the same time..
ended up using KYB they aren that bad of a price and work really well with the springs.... its a rough ride ( like you said snoopy, probably a lot rougher then when it was on your car though..) but i like it just the way it is... its a real pleasure to drive.. i have fallen back in love with it again.

next is to rebuild the engine and find another gearbox. will post pics soon of the new ride height... it was a good 1 inch drop up front and 1.5 at rear.. it is just tuckin the tyre of my 17's up front and the same at the rear.

What size rims are you running man

 

[CMF_jay85]

17 X 6

those rims look phat!! - can't be a very comfy ride with those rubber bands on the wheels though!!

 

[CMF_jay85]

lol..... it isnt very smooth it is bit stiff... but u like it

17's on a micra... that has got to kill your acceleration! Max i'd ever go would be 15's. 14's would be my ideal size. Even lowered that would have to be pretty high off the ground still.

Got an overall pic of the car with them on?
