just curious, if you guys ever use those low rider springs. They will definitely messing up your camber then you will need to use a camber bolt to adjust it. How do you guys even use those things, like how do you hook them up? Where?

Yeah,some of us use "low rider springs".

I didn't need camber bolts for mine,they are a 1.6 inch drop...

The camber bolts go here...

Only 1 is needed on the upper part of the strut. Unless you have something really wacked out.

So does that mean that if you have a 2" drop (sprint springs that came with the car) that you need the camber bolts? Is there a way to tell if you need them without getting an alignment done?

I'm not an expert or anything, but I thought you needed an alignment after doing pretty much any suspension work.

If you change a strut, a spring, tie rod, ball joint sometimes or tweak anything. Your probubly need an alingment. Some ppl don't and those are the ppl that b!tch that thier tires wear out fast.

I've done enough work to swapping things in and out to know I got it real close. But I'll still take it to and alignment rack and set them to my specs.

You need to use the stock strut mount,you are also going to need spring compressors to remove the stock spring..

you will need to use your stock housing for the rear. To take that "cup" shape your referring to, you will need to use 2 big pipe wrenches, 5lbs hammer, and wd40:

just so you know, Kyb will not fit perfectly in the rear housing. The cap will not screw all the way down, just tighten it with those pipe wrenches as much as you can. Trust me, it will not loosen over time.

Hey, just wondering... I have a 91' Nissan Bluebird/Stanza. I was looking through the picture of the suspension above and noticed it seems the same as mine. Was wondering if it would actually bolt on, and if there are any after market suspension kits for my car...

Next time I'm at the junk yard I'll have to see. I doubt it but maybe. Lots of nissan front suspensions look similar yet are different sizes.

Okay... Thanks a lot. Its seems so painful to think that our cars were once new and most of their brothers now are in the junk heap being scrapped for parts. At least it keeps our nissans alive. hehehe

I’ve been looking for a reasonably priced set of springs but their all about 200 ish. I am curious to know how those ride on your 95. So let me know what you think about them I might buy a set for my 93

Todd even drifters are weary of buying them. And half of them are cheap. And its your only car.

Im buying eibach's. Not any time soon though.
