Cool Thanks, I will definetly check that out once we get the car home this Sunday. Any other info on spring rates and such would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Again!

Hello all. What did guys ever do before the internet when they got a new toy? Anyway My name is Ed and I live in the upstate NY. BUUURRR MY neighbor has been on the search for a 1983 280zx for several months. He is not very mechanically savy and has inlisted my help to look at a few cars with him. Last week we came across a 83 with an advertized 327, but after some research I believe it to have a 350 with a set of camel hump heads that may have come off a 327, but I digress. Ends up he has purchased the car and I now am researching some fixes that need to be addressed before he takes the car out this spring. Bigest problem is the right front tire ir rubbing on the fender. I attempted to search the forum here several times and found no real clear cut answer, besides change the spring. Like I siad I am a newbie to the Z-car world, especially to ones powered with small block chevys. I beleive it has stock size tires and wheels, they are not low profile, but I am not sure of their size for he has not got the car home yet. There must be a standard upgrade strut or coil spring to accomodate the increase in weight found with the v-8 conversion. Any info appreciated.
