I went to order some of these from the website in the US and it cost $942 to Australia. How ridiculous. I'm sure it would cost a fraction of that in a container.
It's just that no one makes standard leaf springs in Australia and to make some up costs over $500.
Anyone have any other options? I thought of mixing and matching some at the wreckers.

Another option, yes contact Bellamy and East here in Christchurch and get them to make you some.

go single composite springs best springs around custom made to suit your needs.

I thought that WAS the composite leaf spring price?

Bellamy and East in NZ do springs for 1200 for $165 + GST per pair which is very reasonable. Just have to organise freight from NZ to Aus.

JC whit no way for that price these are the ones
they have an excellent write up in datsun forums
they are halve the weight work better and use by
corvettes since the 50s and commercial vehicles.

definitely the best springs in the world :)

I've contacted flex form, I'll see what happens, but freight might still be an issue coming from the US

Out of interest, does anyone know the length of each leaf spring on the coupe pack? and what is the spring rate?

Contact DDGonzales he is the resident Datsun High Priest yet unfortunately not on Nissan salary.

Why not buy King Springs? They only lower about 25mm. King advertises them for coupe, but Sedan & Coupe use the exact same spring pack. Ute springs are same dimensions too, except ute has a four- or five-leaf pack.

As far as dimensions go, you have two choices: measure yours, or use the dimensions in our tech article Leaf Springs.

How much are the King springs for a set? And how many leafs on coupe or sedan? I'm guessing not suitable for my ute?
