Ah yes coilover talk AGAIN! I'm legit looking to do some modifications to my BONE STOCK '81 N/A 2+0 slicktop. And lowering it would be something I'd like to do but improving the 280zx's handling overall. I looked into lowering springs and I'm not a fan. Coilovers would be ideal but I couldn't find a full set of them for the 280zx.... I only find ones for the S30 (1970-78), S13 (1989-94), S14 (1995-98), and Z32 (1990-96).

I heard from somewhere that you can modify S13 coilovers to fit the S130 chassis... The rears directly bolting up but the fronts requiring a top hat swap. I'm unsure how accurate that information is.

Any input would be great! This is my daily driver so I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on this car but I want to clean it up, lower it, make it handle better and be overall more reliable and super awesome!


What brand(s) of coilovers do you recommend?
Which brand(s) require the LEAST amount of modification?
What exactly do you have to modify on the suspension to make them fit?
