drftnmaz Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Falcon front springs in the rear - cut to suit. /\ this! something heavier from p-a-p trimmed till height suits... dunno bout chamberlain's but snell springs (in aucks) is around $250 for a pair of custom springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageoutlaw Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Looks like springs are going to cost $$. Il add that later on do the list of things to do... Guess there just isn't a cheap "temporary" fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savageoutlaw Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Finally old enough to get restricted Glenn! Just need a legal manual car. Mothers though: They be confusing. She told me to leave the Datsun at home tomorrow and take her car to school and work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrike Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 add a bolt under the bolt that holds the top hop of the shock on (used this on my skyline to make springs captive when the shocks were farked) should give you abit more clearence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 lets go to pick a part one weekend next month mate.Im sure there will be something to help your problem. What model falcoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon? anything mid 80's are around a 130mm OD, even commodore's are similar, should have a quick measure of factory ones before you goto p-a-p tho, don't want to waste that $20 on some springs that dont fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Sunny rear coils are poos. True story. I once rode in a sunny that was scraping with three in the back, and it was standard! My sunny came with Cobra coils in the rear when I bought it. I think they're made by chamberlains? But yeah, chuck in some springs from a heavier car, and cut to suit.

Yowzer Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 But yeah, chuck in some springs from a heavier car, and cut to suit. Get some uprated shocks to match otherwise you'll be bouncing around like a faggot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The mid lenght hilux ones do the trick on these. Shorter than stock and heavier rate - see if there are any at Pickapart while you're there. Hiace front may work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageoutlaw Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yeah, will keep this in mind when PAP opens up. Thanks for the suggestions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
