Another coilover thread

Ok sorry beat the dead horse but does anyone have any pictures of the stock suspension? I noticed the rear suspension on my sedan is like my friends 85 200sx where the spring and strut are seperate and he is using S13 240sx coilovers....So my actual question is does anyone know if S13 coilovers will work on my sedan?

i guess theres a chance they will fit, however the spring rates will be alot different and so on
well an 85 200sx is an s12. So I can see some parts carrying over to the newer chassis in the same family. Going from s12 or s13 to a c11 chassis I doubt it. You can try it but since there are suspension bits already for our chassis is there any benefit?

Don't think anyone has tried it. Give it a shot and let us know!
Yeah I wouldn't bother wasting your time with this. They make specific kits for every car for a reason. There is the exception of swapping suspension from chassis to chassis, but S13 to C11 is highly unlikely. For Hondas, you could fit EK suspension on a DC, but with some fabrication. You could attempt to do this swap to your Versa, but be prepared to do some work.
Well my buddy has a spare set of S13 coilovers i think im going to try and see if they will fit just for the heck of it,they wont be staying on just a test fit...and if they dont no big deal but if they do ill let you guys know
Didnt work...Versa struts have to upper bolts,S13 has 3

Uhhh, Versa also has 3.. one of them is behind the firewall. It's a complete BBBBBBBB to take it out -_-
Are you serious? well then it could work i kind figured there was one back there but i wasnt sure...thats stupid though lol whats the "easiest" way to get it out

Not sure if the newer models have it, but my first gen doesn't. Some Versas have a plastic piece that you could pop off and access the rear bolt. But for me, I just unclipped the whole trim and lifted it up
If it works this could open a whole new door to versa owners, been that S13 coils are way cheaper than versa's.
Didnt bother with it anymore. Still looking to get some coilovers, been searching for used but might have to suck it up and purchase new.
just search youtube for versa springs install. there should be a video on there.
I had to 'bore out' my stock bolt back there when I put my coils on :p
Idk never tried it, just ended up getting versa specific coilovers. But from memory I don't think S13 coils would work. The mounts in the fronts look different.
