My track day/time trial Nismo build....

Got to work on the car some last week, rear race spring conversion is all done now. I ended up making some lower spring cups out of stainless to bolt to the arms. Because of the droop travel my kw's have I had to use a tender spring to keep the spring seated when full extended. This added a fair amount of complication, mainly making sure there was clearance between the base and the tender adapter so that the spring could be full compressed. I may end up just strapping the arms like I have done in the past to limit the amount of droop travel the car has. If I get to much noise or deformation of the tender it may be needed.

These are Eibach ERS 750lbs/in. part #0800.250.0750.

My 900lb springs for the front should be in today and I will actually get to go see how much more body control the car has.

On to the pics!

Thanks,
Zack
