How much lower will the vehicle be when its lowered. Are you thinking of a conventional gas strut replacement or adjustable.

Will you be altering the length of the strut and the spring base to get the vehicle really low??? Or to fit specific rims.

Hi there
For Road use try Nissan pulsar or escort strut inserts.
For heavier duty applications try adjustable konis (Great units but are pricey).When using these in standard struts you need a spacer between the top of the strut insert and the screwing on bit on the top of the strut itself.
Cheers
Bob

All the strut inserts of the Datsun are made to spec. The ajustable Koni will only make te ride stiffer or softer. The height is controled by the spring height and thickness of the wire and the rate of the coil used in the build.
