: YJ springs

G'day from Aus folks,

I'm going to be gathering the bits an pieces need to do the CSC S/R using YJ springs front and rear over the next couple of months.

As I'm in Australia the YJ spring isn't as common as it is in the USA. So, I've found a variety of springs that match the initial YJ specs but I'm unsure about the location of the YJ center bolt/pin.

Is it dead centre or offset? If it's offset how much and in which direction (front/rear)?


I've already got:
- brakelines (Honda Accord: 26" long)
- driveshafts (have to be custom made)

Once I get the kit I don't think I'll need anything else other than a knuckle over steering conversion (I really don't like the idea of a z-link in this setup).

Have I missed anything or do you have some tips and stuff I should watch out for?


Thanks heaps.

as you can see I'm in desperate need of some articulation. I'm sick of lifting wheels and having no "go forward". (yes I know lockers help, but that will happen in time)

I know what your traction problem is...your sitting on the wrong side of the zuk!! Welcome newbie:flipoff2: I'll measure mine today after work. You'll want that knuckle over steering for sure, my z-link hits the YJ springs.:mad:

are you on the new gutsquishers board yet? I ain't seen ya around much.

I think I need to put BJ_ON_ROIDS, Bubs and SICKDICK under my wheels for traction.

Or just hook up the snatch to bubs. He uses enough right foot for three rigs *LMAO*


Just wait until I get this YJ S/R happening. I'll be able to ramp a fraction more than that pic *LMAO*
