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.

 

If you're trying to go as cheap as possible and aren't buying a whole set at one time, these are the cheapest prices I've found online:

KYB GR-2's from JDMWerks off eBay $115 + S&H = $150 delivered:

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

 

HOW did you total it already!??!?!?! i noticed you changed all your pictures!!!

 

Look at his center pic... can you blame him?

 

I shoolda not drunkin that last beer before picking up my kids up frum skool

 

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.

 

with my AZ-zcar springs i am less than an inch away from scraping on speed bumps at school. its rough. but i love em!!!!!!!! this is an old thread to. wtf is going on here?

 

i want to replace my shocks and springs that's all and i need some pointers.

 

KYB, Tokico, AutoZone cheapo specials, or coil overs. Take your pick.
