fuel Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I heard black and decker springs are the way to go, but if you can't find them your next best bet would be makita one way adjustables. stud pattern is 5x114.3mm - same as 5 stud skylines, silvias and most other jap RWD cars. Make sure the offset is low though, Nissan RWD rims are typically high offset like FWD cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locorx Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 sounds more like a shopping list from bunnings than a set of springs for a crown??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 You'd buy proper springs from the same place anyone else does. If you can't find any for your particular model. Take them out, take them into STOCKS or similar and tell them you want them 'x' amount lower. B&D or Makita springs, refer to the cutting of your standards.

FLAWLES Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 lovels do a set man but it depends on your chassis number ms80-110 they do a low spring part number is front TFS-18 rear TRL-8 but if your chassis is a ms111-112 theres nothing...........which i find strange can compress springs but they sagg after a while and ride goes from worse to shit but if your chassis is anything like a ms50/55/65 etc you can use HQ springs in the back end with ease, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 off the shelf crown kings etc hardly lower a criz at all. all off the shelf front for a criz from 50 series through to 140 will swap over there not exactly the same but fit not a problem my ms63 has 140 series front springs. Go the custom route dude should only be around $400. Or just cut them its easy to get them captive theres a wide range of shocks that will do it and if you clean them up and do a decent paint job you should go though wofs no worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
