so i know the springs are stiffer on the J30t than the J30....my question is would the J30t springs fit on the J30???not really much of an upgrade but ive recently gotten a few calls from 3 local junkyards that have 5 Js available to pick off....i went and looked and 3 of them are in GREAT shape....the only reason they were junked was because the transmission went out and they didnt want to get them fixed...anyways any info would be great...

Why would you believe that there is a difference in spring rates.Historically Nissan has used differences is sway bar rates [softer front and stiffer rear] on the t models [G, J, Q].

Nissan selects spring stiffness to match the fore aft weight ratios.

Nothing really at the moment ,,Other than the lower engine cover.But that would be a hassle to ship.Mines in pretty bad shape.
