Are you still using the OEM springs?

Springs are something I’ve been working on. The lack of data on our various stock parts between the Infiniti and Nissan lines is amazing. I refuse to use progressive rates, and trying to compile a list of stock rates and free length to make choices easier.


Update.

The listed Koni inserts require a strut tube that is >1.71” in diameter. Below the rolled crimp of an own strut is 1.65. Looks like there is some stretch room to play with.

The problem i am seeing is the shortest insert is 1.5” length than sock. I shot an email to Koni since I know they have smaller inserts in their lineup.

Is that supposed to read, "The problem i am seeing is the shortest insert is 1.5” longer than stock strut length"?

If you're interested in the rear free length of RWD S, I can help with that. Front springs are still on the dampers.

Yep longer. I was already planning on overboring the bottom of the housing and working with my machine shop owning buddy to fab spacers to accommodate. Honestly if I can get a 12.5” long, 4.25” stroke, 1.8” OD insert I’d be happy.

Don’t need the rears as Koni has an off the shelf figment for the rwd cars.

I have an email in tona contact at Koni to see what they have that will give me a precise fitment. There are a ton of inserts they make, but the recent catalogs only list a handful.

Just bumping this thread up. I appears that @Corprin hasn't been online for several months, but in the off chance that by me bumping this thread, they might get an email notification.
