i need to get new springs and front struts for my 280zx. what springs/struts fit without modification? i saw some 280c brand new rear springs for sale for cheap, wanting to get them if they fit then get focussed on the squeaky front end

Eibach springs, KYB / Tokico struts, or the MSA ones. I found that 79-83 Mercedes 300D front springs work great as 280zx rear springs. You will need to cut them to the right height, but they are stiff as hell.

ST springs are good, I ran those. $189 a set of four! (shox.com)
They are non progressive lowering springs. They ride nice and lower the car about 1.25 inches
I ran KYB struts with them

good old resurrection...How are these springs working out? Would they work for my 260 2+2?? I want to get it as low as possible, how low can it go before I would start to scrape, etc. I want to put on an air dam and side skirts, so would 1.25 inches be noticeable and effective? I'm so noob.
