look forward to seeing the pics
for lowering the front you need to get some golf / polo coilovers, and fit the nissan topmounts to them - for the back, I'm not 100%, as my b11 is the wagon, and is on leaf springs at the rear - could probably get away with chopped springs though
for wheels, stud pattern is 4x114.3, so with a bit of lateral thinking you can find some cheap cool wheels, try searching for scimitar, stag or mgb wheels
good luck!

Think mk4 / 6n polo coilovers... Cheapo ebay ones are easiest...
Is the rear on struts or seperate springs?
|

the rear has seperate springs from the shocks. fully independent rear suspension I was shocked i was thinking it would have a big bar like my old micra! |

I am jealous. I know it sounds stupid saying that over a sunny but, dunno why, these have over the last few years been a huge want for me.

over all really nice nick! got a few plan, really want to dump it in the weeds!! if any one has any good way of doing this let me no. I would like coilovers but I think I would have to adaped some "/ so I'm looking at 40mm springs and maybe chop a coil off after that and some new stiffer shoks. The old back box was rubish so chopped it off and now have a cherry bomb. Also thinking about wheels but ill need more cash first maybe band the standerd ones not shour yet. So really just a low and slow project as it is only the 1.3
