* Lowering blocks are reversible. Remove blocks or add thicker blocks as you like
* Resets are non-adjustable. If it doesn't lower your car enough, you can get them reset again, or add blocks. For too low, say if your car won't pass inspection, you can replace the springs or have them reset again
* On a BW68-equipped 120Y sedan, blocks make for poor/no access to the brake adjuster and brake bleeder

okay well when my shocks come next week and the front suspension is 100% done, the rear suspension is gonna start getting worked on so i will see what happens.

Is getting the rear leaves reset a good idea or should i just use lowering blocks?
what is the difference?

or is it possible to remove the rear leaves and make some coilovers with little modification ? (haven't seen anything on the wiki about this )

RCA is not necessary. However, after changing front suspension, the alignment must be readjusted. That being said, spacers help

Does the bumpsteer spacer is necessary for front?

Lower it first, with the original unmodified shocks, then see how much suspension travel is left
* If there is none, you have to decide how to modify it, maybe notch the chassis and reverse-eye the leaf
* If there is 1/2" left, you can changed the shock out for Sedan Lowering Shocks to gain another 1/2"

1" suspension travel isn't much but will ride OK on smooth roads

so what is your recomendation?

With new shorter shocks, it will still be uncomfortable, as it will be riding the bump stops (which are a removable part of the sedan shocks) or it will be hitting the chassis rail. See Sedan Lowering Shocks

1975 datsun 120y sedan

really low lol.

i have 13inch starsharks and i want them to be flush with the gaurd

i have attached a photo of my friends old 120y which had 13ich ssr mk3 rims and thats pretty much how low i want to be

he had the same coilover setup as me but he flipped the rear leafs and it was a really uncomfortable drive apparently and this is going to be my daily so i want it to be nice to drive (his rear shocks #OOPS# them selves so i definitely need new shocks lol)

Quote:Yes, 120Y and 1200 use the same shocks. The original specs were slightly different but aftermarket shocks are the same for B210 and B110

* Coupe - eye mount
* Sedan - stem mount

What model ya got? How low do you plan on going?

Yes, if you remove the bump stops, then the shocks will bottom out. Not a good idea

What most do is cut the bump stops in half but this only lowers the car about 2-1/2 inches (with bump stops removed about 3" but then there is zero suspension left). Along with the shorter bump stops:
* Sedan: fit shocks with a shorter compressed length
* Coupe: with lowering blocks, stock shocks work with extreme lowering
* Coupe: with reset spring, fit shocks with a shorter compressed length

Coupe uses a very small mounting stud

To get it lower the chassis rails can be notched and/or spring eye reversed. Then the shorter shocks are definitely required
