For SleepyZ and those that like Datsun S30s
FINALLY...the Konig Rewind 15x7 +0 with Falken FK512s are mounted and on the car...but it's missing something...I need to slam the **** out of it ASAP! I think I've finally settled on a good Datsun shop in Fremont to build the custom coilovers so I can get some chassis-scraping going on!!!

Nice. You'll be happy when that thing is lowered. What spring rates are you gonna go with on the coilovers?
I like the choice of airdam. I have the same one
. Are you gonna swap to a 240z bumper when you put the airdam on? Here's a picture of mine with graphite rewinds.

again, i think your car is cleaaaan!
As for the spring rates, do you have any recommendations? I very likely will be going to Troy Ermish Racing in Fremont to get the coilovers fabricated.

Yeah, the bumpers are getting hard to find. Just keep checking craigslist and ebay.
Most people use spring rates around 200lb/in front and 225lb/in rear for a street/track car with tokico illumina strut inserts. Anything stiffer gets harsh for the street but is better on the track. Keep in mind this is not from first hand experience but it's the general concensus from S30 guys.
Just as a FYI you can get coilovers here

Good luck with the build. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Looks great, BTW I totally have the same wheels/tires, ha. Only problem was I got stuck with 14's, they didn't have that color setup for the wheels in 15's when I bought them. I need to drop mine also, if you can get it to Blackhawks museum June 30th there should be a good 10-20 or so s30's at the zonc show. I also went out for shots last week, didn't post them but here are 2....
