I saw that ad for that bundle of parts online, nice deal you got there!

What a difference those springs made as well. This thing is one of my favorites on the forum, keep up the good work!

You have been having more than your fair share of bad luck. You've never let it get you down though.

Looks great!! About to join the TII club soon and really liking this build and the look of your car.

Interested to see how the S13 rear coilovers fit. I wanted to do the same but thought the coil spring outer diameter was too big.

When next you have off the rear wheels would love to see a photo please or any info on mods with swap would be appreciated

Of course I cleaned up the cuts to allow the spring to fit in there .. But that lil chunk was all it took fast n easy

You should use a wire to secure the spring to the upper perch.

Ahhhh I was wondering, looks great. Thanks! How is the ride?

You can also get helper springs to keep the spring fixed on both lower and upper perch.

Of course it will stay in place when its on the ground. The main idea behind the wire is to eliminate the need to recheck if coil is in in place when you lower the floor jack.
