two new comp springs for sale.
Two vendors just advertised new comp springs for sale in the vendor section. Are these the same springs for sale by two vendors or are they different springs? Anyone have experience with either?

These springs that are being offered by Datsunparts.com and Fairladyparts.com are the Same springs manufactured by the Same manufacturer.
All I can do is give you my own personal opinion that they work great, but some might consider that biased because we are selling them.
They were produced to be as close to the original springs Datsun produced for the cars using modern manufacturing techniques, we have put them on 2 different vehicles and compared them for Ride Height and driveability and they worked great!!
If you want pictures or more details just ask either of us directly..

Hey Lou,
Are these spring as stiff as the original stock spring or are they soft like Mike Young’s spring? I am currently using Mike’s spring on my 69 and very happy with the ride, it’s smooth and comfy.
I need another set of spring for my other roadster and I'm wondering how difference between Mike's and Fairlady parts interms of stiffness
Thanks
Vinh

I will make you a deal Vinh, If you get a set and drive them around for a week and they feel too stiff I will give you a full refund, how is that?
I would appreciate an unbiased opinion!!
I have never personally driven with Mike's Springs on my car, so I cannot make a fair comparison myself!!

A 2nd Thing Vinh, realize that there were 2 styles of the Competition springs that were produced by Nissan for the Roadster.
The original style that Datsun came out with in the 60's and the Second run of springs they had made by Eibach back in the 80's those 2nd run of springs were a little taller and stiffer than the originals.
Ours are based on the originals!!
