We used H/D 120y king springs for L16 conversion and used two upper strut cup things welded together. Firstly on the lower one we machined/filed off the lip that the bearing sits on and made the hole bigger.So it slipped over the insert easily. Mainly cause the springs weren't captive enough for our liking when jacked up under engine crossmember.

king springs list KDFL-17 as standard height for a 1200/120y and lowered height for a stanza..... KDFL-57 are lowered for a 1200/120y.

interesting. but the kdfl-17 indicates similar spring rates are required.

personally id get slightly stiffer even though its only 10kg over the front axle.

i went way stiffer and have 250lb spings now... 225 would be better. and i have l16 in there too.
