So you just need to pay someone to weld the threaded sleeves on - but do you have a set of springs at the height you want?

Also it would be worth checking if the springs you have fit the adjustable height platforms.

I have a set of threaded sleeves and platforms that fit a 60mm ID spring - when standard Datto springs are around 80mm. So the standard Datsun springs wont fit on the 'sports' spring platforms.

Worth a look before you get them welded on.

Nice.

The springs would have come with a recommended loaded height I would imagine. As far as I know they are quoted with a loaded and unloaded height.

That should determine how tight the threaded sleeve needs to be?

EDIT: Yeah check this link from Kings Springs website - show loaded and free (unloaded heights)

so y cant you bolt it in?
have you got all the right lower arms and stuff already in the car?
if you do then its only 5 bolts to get the strut in, no need to pay someone to do that

so you need 200b steering arms and little spacers for the tie rod end

hmmm how tight did i make that stuff...... dont remember, just till it got tight

im sure a workshop manual for a stanza or 200b or something will tell you, i dont think i actually tentioned them up i just got them tight them put the split pin threw(it should stop the nut going ne where)

Snug them tight and just give them a bit more, no need to go crazy on them, the lower nut is a lock nut so should be fine. Why the 200b steering arms mate, someone has mentioned before the offset the strut giving more camber, did you get the locating rings for the bottom of the strut, or dont you need them with the 200b arms?

Edit: what nuts? the coilover ones? balljoint nuts are about 75lb for re-used nuts, 100+ lb for new items i think, double check that though.
