A bit of grammar and spelling goes a long way, slow down and think about what you are typing. !!!!!!

try Arthur Jackons, road and rally shop. Aurthur has been in the game for as long as i can remember. Hes located in sydney. I got studs 5mm longer as i had similar probs. Im sure he would post them to NZ.

Theres alway going direct to nismo. the genuine studs are 10mm longer, but cost the earth (about $12 AU each from memory)

I would go with the springs rather than blocks anyday. I would put on the springs you got off chris.

As well as lowering you car the springs have been reset and probably ride stiffer. Your car will feel noticably better in the handling department.

What have you got to lose, no more money to spend just the time to fit them, as chris stated, they are a peice of pie to fit

Ive had reversed eye leaves in my coupe for 6 years now, it effectively lowered the rear end 2 inchs. I had an extra leaf put in to cop those heavy bumps as the springs were set nearly straight with only a slight perabola.

I originally had 2 inch lowering blocks, it looked ok but didnt perform that great. (compared to reverse eye).

Im in the process of making slightly longer rear slackles, as im lead to believe that the leave springs work at there best when they are parallel with the road surface (ie each end of the spring is the same distance from the road)

Do you know for sure that the original springs in your car have not sagged with time and were actually lower than the factory spec?

The problem you are experiencing could be many possibilities. First thing after checking the electrical side of the engine, would be the carbies. SU type carbies are fiddly little animals. Being a constant velocity type carb, they love operating flat out. From my experience, they are not so crash hot at low rpm, not as responsive as a pair of webers.

1. I would try and identify what profile needles your carbs have. The taper of the needle influences the feul delivery.
The second link i quoted to a SU carb site has a needle calculator from memory.

2. Check that the dampening plunger is not restricted in its movement. Is there to much or not enough oil in the dampeners.

3. Are both carbs synchronised?

4. Is there air leaking through the throttle butterfly shaft. this is a common wear prob, with this type of carb.

5. Float levels?

Try these articles, they may help

Short of all that maybe the cam you are using is too big. The cam may be better suited to higher compression and high octane fuel.

Good luck. and im sure you will let us know the outcome.
