LMK how it goes dude as I am also looking for a full coilover for my 280zx. GC makes sleeves for the S30, maybe they can make one for the S130 as well

I know Cosmo racing sells a kit on ebay and a datsun 510 setup that should fit the 280zx front. That I can link to as

I have been looking into this for a while as wel but with my z31 5 lug swap I needed to go a different route

so use these for the front and generics for the rear ..
NOTE this will need some adapting and stuff..
OR you could adapt a set of s13 coil overs (Teins or whatever)

I doubt Ross at Modern-Motorsport still make coil-overs for 280ZX anymore, but that's where I got mine about three years ago.

Here's the site...

not all that stiff nismo, its better than stock, but not quite enough. i ended up cutting 3.5 coils off, and still need another 1/2 to get the correct ride height. modern does offer the front as well, just email ross, it may take some time to get a reply. just say your a member here and on hybridz, and he'll get on it. itll be 1000 minimum for the front and rear setup.
