In the front I am with TA22 shocks (I believe). They are pretty easy to find in eBay and veeery cheap, as nobody knows how perfect they fit on the hachi. As they are a bit stiffer the car handles also pretty ok.

For the rear shocks I have this list. Of course I havent tried all those options, so if trying please try to collect some more information - check if the Koni numbers are equal or so...

and about rear springs ? What are you using? I broke springs last year
and I don't know what to use . Stocks are a little too soft and too high( front springs lowered).The broken springs wire was 12mm(dia).
Any idea, considering it's for rallye purpose , and I don't need progressive item?

My rear springs are very soft too. I guess they havent being changed for 23 years now, so I'm also looking for option for them. The cheapest way is to get them out and to try to find similar at the scrab yards. There are some from Volvo from the early 80s that will do fit... but personaly I will not go for used or different spring.

I like rally driving too, and so far I see (thanks to the old soft springs) - softer springs on the back is the right setup. On tarmak with 195/60/14 the car ist very easy to be fully trottled in the turns, without loosing traction.

You could check the threads in the forum for opinions about springs. They are some very helpfull ones ...

Try Nissan Primera P10 rear springs.

[filh]

absolutly, soft stock rear springs are the good way for optimal grip , but in
situation like jumping , or in bad gravel , stock springs don't resist !
That's why I use 1mm(dia) more than the 11mm stock springs.
I don't know if there are solutions like Eibach etc .
I had mine manufactured , but it's expensive : about 150€ for 2 springs ..
I'll check for Nissan springs properties .

[El_Camino]

From what I know about Eibach - they are shorter too.

Another question - when you lower the car (even with only 40mm) isnt it necessary to adjust the panhard rod aswell?
By my understanding the car falls down, so the panhard rod is pushing more to the left and the rear axle is not anymore centered by it.

Yes. The only "problem" is that I have H&R brand sport springs for P10 so I can't say for sure what is the height of OEM P10 springs.

Ah, I see. I thought you meant oem springs.
