Super Jamie Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 You might be able to get off-the-shelf lowered springs for the front, but they might not go that low. The KE1x has a transverse leaf in the front, but you want to leave this in, the suspension gets pretty weird if you just take it out. If I remember correctly, Felix had KE70 front springs in his KE15 and had taken the transverse leaf out, but also had fitted a Datsun front swaybar to do the job of the leaf. It still wasn't very low. You could get your existing shocks made into coilovers. If you go really low, you'll need to have your struts shortened and use shorter stroke shocks. I'm not sure what shortened shock fits in a KE1x but a shop making you coilovers should be able to source something. For the rears, get the leaves reset and an extra leaf added in. If a shop suggests lowering blocks, politely say no thank you and walk away. Lowering blocks are dodgy and ruin your suspension angles, so the diff twists more under load. Get the front done first, or get both done together. Just don't do the back first. You want to match the front stance so the car sits flat or slightly lower in the front.
