No. You can't use springs from an S13. The Tokico blues are good shocks for the Z31. For springs, it's rare to find them just front or rear, so you'll probably be buying a full set. It's best to just new shocks all the way around as well. If the rears are bad, chances are the fronts will be bad soon enough as well. I like Eibachs for regular street driving.

Spend the money on some good ones, the car is pretty heavy and can be a handful to keep control. I personally have two z31's with tokiko iluminas on them and couldn't be happier! They are a little pricey though, but waaaay worth it.

I'm new to this so my question is that i have z31 (SS) that i just bought but it does not have the OEM springs so I'm trying to get the st springs but i checked almost every place there discontinue so if any one could help me where to look for st springs or any other brand that has same wight rate and stiffens as st springs or ss springs thank you

Illuminia's will not fit on the SS, Get the blue's which were stock on the SS. ST's are not available new right anymore. Look on the other Z31 forums in the WTB section for people who are upgrading to coilovers and are selling their ST's.
