Lowering your 1200 by use of custom springs is the most elegant method. Full control over rate and length.

Nissan Competition Springs

The Nissan Competition springs (PN 54010-H1070) are 110 lb/in rated and lower the front of the 1200 about two inches (see Front Suspension Specification). A 1/2 thick bump rubber stop must be installed on the shock rod. These can be made by cutting down the stock rubber bumpers.

King Springs

King Springs is one of the few companies that lists 1200 springs in their catalog. Other companies make them on request.

King lists these for 1200:
* KDFL-17 Front STD
* KDFL-57 Front Low

King's "Front Low" springs lowers vehicle approximately 30mm below standard.
