tokico lowering springs and struts.. theyll lower your car about 1.5" if your going with the stock 14" rom.. youll be scraping every speed bump you go over.. even at angles... im runnig then on my car with 17" and i think its got a really good looking stance...

On Arizonazcar's website, I see no coilovers for the 280zx and I see nothing even close to $1500 a wheel. Who would spend $6000 on suspension work? That's rediculous. Their 280Z coilovers are about $150 per wheel. They are not compatible with the ZX.

go to www.modern-motorsports.com they make a coil over kit for the 280 and also a big break kit as well.. you might have to e mail him and ask about it.. he can make a custom coil over kit for your car..
