BTS Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 hey i have a 97 pathfinder and well the passenger side coil is broken and missing a coil. Buddy has a set for coils from a 95 p-finder and says that i can have them... only thing is that they are a bit different. 87 - 95 p-finder 14mm diameter 198lbs per 1" 430mm free 96 - 99.5 p-finder 15mm diameter 140 lbs per 1" 360mm free Which means that the 95 p-finder rear coil is almost 3 inches taller, 1 mm smaller in diameter, and can take more weight. anyone think that i could use those coils in my 97?? might even get a bit of a lift out of it?? any input would be GREAT... Thanks in advance.. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 where did you get your coil specs because the 87-95 coils are actually; 13.2 mm wire diameter 117.2mm coil diameter 180lbs per 1" 417mm free anyway I think the r50 coils have a differant coil diameter so they won't fit anyway. Just get some stock ones from a JY for like 12 bucks or some nicer Moog Progressive ones from rock-auto or summit racing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProStreetDriver Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I've heard stories about jeep coils actually working, but you'd have to get someone to confirm this. I actually want to lift my r50 in the rear also with coil springs but I don't want to spend a bunch of money on new coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I'm going to scoot this over to the R50 section where it will get maximum exposure (and keep our filing system straight)... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddfildvaynes Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I live in New hampshire and still have both my stock rear springs I took out a year ago when I lifted mine. You can have them if you want to pay the shipping. They are in pretty good condition and if I remember correctly there wasn't much if any sag. Yours free if you pay shipping.
