Tokico or Eibachs?

Im getting new springs for my 280zx and I really want the car to be lowered more than anything since its waaaay too high up and the balance is way off when cornering. Anyway does anyone know if whether the Tokico springs or the Eibach springs lower more? Im getting them from MSA, BTW

Why did you post the exact same thread twice? That's a major no no... anyway, just buy the tokico complete kit and be done with it. You can find them on ebay all the time...

Or you can do the Eibach springs and KYB (that's what I have)

On the average, yeah. That's what they advertise.

they should be installed for the Z Nationals show. What color should I paint them for best performance?

I went with silver.... it's more aerodynamic. So that means silver = more hp!

Silver adds more horsepower during daylight hours. But in the dark black ones work better as they become aerodynamically invisible.

I can get down with that. Especially since the sigs are gone and South Parker doesn't apply without my damn sig

Another question the Tokicos; are they super stiff for perfromance driving or are they just a slight bit stiffer from stock with a stock feeling ride? Im hoping for super stiff to really reduce the horrible body roll!
