I hadn't thought of that, after reading it again it says that the Nissan competition springs are 110lbs/inch.

Just tested standard B120 Ute front springs, they worked out to 75lbs/inch, and I will test B310 and 910 springs tomorrow.

Well, I tested 910 springs and 310 springs, and guess what? They turned out the same result as the Ute front springs. I tested them numerous times and got the same result.

If cutting down the struts by 60mm, please use 250pd springs.

I have heavier engine CA18det.

I use 180B (610) struts I've cut down 2 inches. I use 260Z inserts. I'm currently using 200mm long 200pd springs (using tender spring) and it's bottoming out on the road. I need to buy new springs.

200pd might be ok for the track where there aren't the big potholes, like on Australian roads.

Shorter strut means higher spring rate is required to keep the car within the same height while driving.
