First Datsun and questions

Subject: First Datsun and questions
by RippDatsun on 2013/1/5 7:06:50

So I bought my first Datsun and first car a few days ago.

It is a green '72 1200 Coupe and I love it.
It came with a modified A12 - Dual 32/36 Carbies (Weber I think), extractors to a 2 inch exhaust, bigger cam (not sure on specs), possible other internals not sure though.

JVC head unit with Fusion fronts and Pioneer rears and a 12" Pioneer Vccs sub.
Pretty nice 14's (can someone identify the make?) and 195/60's front and back.

So, questions.
First plan is to lower it, with help from "crab45" I have got myself a pair of lowered front king springs. For the back I thinking of taking the bottom (smallest of the 3) leaf, flipping it and placing it on the top of the pack.
1) Is this legal to do?
2) I am presuming if I did it with the middle leaf I would get a larger drop and more stiffness. Is that correct?
3) It has rear drums and front discs. It takes a lot of effort to get it to stop so what would my best options be to make it easier on the pedal and stop faster? Bigger and/or better brakes? Bigger booster? I got no idea haha. :p


Thanks fellas. This forum is awesome!
