All comes down to how much bucks you wanna spend.. Buy after market name brand icon's and pay the earth or use factory datsun/nissan parts and get the same thing or if not better.from wrecker yards. C110 240K coupe has the shortest legs of all and fit right in the 510,lowered the front with only this mod,cut down the springs(so they still fit tight,not rattle) Thats also bigger front brakes. same with the rear cut down 240K coupe springs. Use the rear brake wheel cly's from the C110 as they are bigger and the master,it is also bigger Add 240Z rear drums,finned alloy. Whats really wrong with all that - camber on the rear,as long as the half shafts are sitting level with the road what does it matter? People here who own race car shops say it's not good,but what do they know they dont have or drive Datsuns they have shit like RX3 RX7 Holdens and Falcons,and dont handle.
