The only way your going to know is try them (springs) M8. Pretty simple really.
We are fortunate over here to have a ready supply of aftermarket springs in a couple of different ride heights so nobody bothers with funky swaps.

they the cheap ones mate,price only goes up for there,
we all want to know what new mods people come up with that work
I noticed that you using Tein springs now,if they do a stock they should do a lower to you'd think,if gtir springs do work cheapes way for you would be custom spring made over there
as for the window rubber hard to fined want one myself

up dates the rear gtir springs n and the car dropped 2inches n the rear... now we've got to stretch the fenderwells so everything comes out even hopefully we can tuck everythin up inside to get a nice low low low stance like 4 innches ground clearance would b sweet . Installung front coils today should woork out good pics to follow... still considering turbo goodies... id also like to do a right hand drive conversion so if someone has a dash and all the steering components id buy them off you keep me posted

Keep up the good work

Nothing drops straight in M8, way it is.
ANYTHING will fit with some imagination and lots of time and effort.
You need to ask urself is an N12 worth the headfuck of a major engine/transmission transplant!
Often the answer is no.
way it goes.

That's the question I ask myself everyday oraccle... is it worth it? Financially no but I can drive the short wheel base ccars really well so as far as street racing I also c an opportunity to have a authentic sleeper... they r really rare over here and even more so modified so should I blend in or b original is what I ask... I don't know what I want to do right now I'm considering making it sr or rb powered and rear wheel drive but I still don't know what's ur opinion I also have a 2jzggtte from a 97 supra rz just sitting around looking lonely. But iv heard minor talk from gents on here about some swaps they have done so I'm lookingg for opinions if you could do any front wheel drive swap to ur n 12 what would it b? We r building a street legal race car so I. Want frontswheel drive and powerful what motor would u install? ANY FRONTWHEEL DRIVE nissan or datsun

so was mine one of the few..saved..it still own the streets..and a beast in the mountains..fun litte thingie..was not expecting another pulsar in the states..so hi..welcome lol!
