has anyone tried to lower their datsun and there for stiffen the suspension by adding extra rear leafs and front spring compressors? i cant stand how much body roll my car has when im cornering. any sugestions?

does anyone have any suggestions to improve the handling of my b210?

swaybars, you might have to get custom one but it would be worth it

Get decent quality shock absorbers. my original 1200 with good shocks (tokico silvers) and Pirelli P6 tyres..the handling was transformed.

Do the sway bar second.

where can i find shocks for a 78 b210?
what aboput coil overs?

Have yourself a read of the datusn competition suspension guide on this site as I'm unaware of companies that actualy make coil over units for our little loved thingies, yeah that'l do can't think of any other word. Auto parts suppliers should have access to shocks for you. I'll just give an example as Repco cos I din't check your location

Well having autocrossed a B210 and racing the 1200 I'll chime in.

Addco makes sway bars for a B210 , check J.C. Whitney....there Anti-sway bars are Addco.

For shocks KYB Gas-adjusts are good for the street , Tokico's were also availible for the B210.

For springs you can use 240Z rear springs with a full coil cut out to lower it. If that is not stiff enough then use 240Z fronts. For the rear the old crude lowering blocks will be fine or you can re-arch the springs.

As for Coil Overs: unless you have access to a set of scales where you can set up the corner weights don't bother.....it is very easy to screw up the handling of a car by installing coilovers.

What I would do and did for my old B210 was install a set of KYB's , Addco bars and ran 185/70 13 tires. This made it fun to drive street car that was fun at autocross and it didn't beat the death out of you on the street.

wow, thats exactly what i wanted to know. will the 240z's rear springs fit in the stock socket of a b210 without modifications?

Yep I did this a couple of weeks ago in sunny struts.

B210 are same size springs.

I didnt cut the springs and i have a errrr monster truck.... Will try the fronts and see how they go, might also need cutting!

Oh and i've heard r31 rear might be good too?

so when u installed them it lifted your car?
i should cut them one full coil?
