European Springs

Does anyone out there know where I can find the European Springs that have been discontinued? My mechanic has talked me into these, and he has located two fronts and one rear. Only need the last rear.

If anyone happens to have a set in their garage, or knows a dealer with them still in stock, I would greatly appreciate notification!

Thanks

I've personally never heard of the "European springs." What's special about them? Why couldn't you use Eibach's or Tokio's?

European Springs

The European springs were on the models that went to Europe. They were about 15-20 % stiffer, but did not lower the car much. Motorsports used to carry them. As a matter of fact, they are still in this year's catalog but have not actually been available since 2004. It was something that I was looking for because it is a stiffer spring, but still an OEM part in some part of the world. I have abandoned the search and finally bought some Tokicos. I found three springs total, in my nationwide search. So close.....

COURTESY NISSAN Corutesyparts.com They have them but I doubt you will be able to buy just one spring. There has just been a limited run of the series 1 euro springs . I have a set but havent had the time to install them . I think Courtesy only had 40 sets to begin with . just for information the springs for the rear are the same compression but the front springs are different for the left and right . Gary
