would be looking at getting a coil over kit, New springs ect.
Do you need to put longer sunny control arms or something in it to get the camber back to neg?
I also thought you have to cut the strut down and put shorter shocks in. Also got no idea bout steering arms and other stuff needed to do.
All info would be greatly appreciated. Just looking to gather as much as posible before i get started! Am open to suggestions.
The reason I was going with the R31 struts is due to the brake upgrades available.

from my testing this isnt a good conversion

you need to change the spring size to small diameter and then get adjustable strut tops

the stub axel angle on the R31 dosnt suit a early datsun without major mods resulting in positive camber

if you whish to do this conversion you would be better buying as a complete kit

but there are some positives to the conversion with tyre clerance, strut length

Could some one please give me a step by step rundown on what needs to done and what parts i will need? I'll use the STD R31 Brakes for the moment but will upgrade them to R32 4 pots down the track.

Also would like to know exactly what needs to be done (springs, shocks)with the rear suspension to get the car to handle awsome. What actually works?

Cheers Kym.
