OniZ

Yeah I would have liked to run the starion rims but they're 5 lug. These are 14x7 I did have to use a spacer in front or it wouldn't clear the caliper or the center of the spindle. I'm hoping when I put 225s on the rear it will fill out the fender a little better.

Just bought a set of Supra Celica Rims for my Z, just wanted to see if anyone liked them on the Z cars.

I need the shifter for the 280zx manual trans the one I bought had a 240z shifter. I"ll be checking the junkyards for one on sunday but figured I check here too.

Ok I bet everyone that was interested in these had probably thought that it had gotten squashed and wasn't going to happen. Well it's going to happen at least a prototype is going to happen. I have a price for the prototype but as it stands now it's limited to just myself once they are built and on the car I will take pictures and once again gauge interest in having these produce. It may take awhile for him to finish as he is in the middle of a drift car built which has to been done and tuned before the drift season starts. And this is a special project, so everyone hang in there the setup is getting underway.

ok just cut my rear spring today starting height was 26" even now the rear is 24 1/4". Once again I cut full coils not half in total for the rear I cut 2 full coils. I will post pics later today if not tomorrow.

Here's my Z. She's coming along nicely can't wait until I have the time to finish the paint.

That's one hell of a tax return!

That green one is nice, liking that paint job.

Great vid that helps, do you have a picture of the back where the bracket is attached to the caliper? Wondering how the spacing looks back there.

Pics please.

That car looks mean, and that wing actually doesn't look too bad either.

Here are the pics of the change in suspension height, the left ones are old the right ones are new. I also wanted to mention that the .85" is roughly over 3/4".

I just cut my front coils on my 71 haven't done the back but ran into other issues that needed to be taken care of. So I will have pics and numbers posted for the rear once I've done them. So here are the measurements I had and ended up with I will take pics tomorrow and post them. Front ride height when started was 26 1/4" (from center of tire on the ground to the highest point of the fender lip-just about center). After the height was 25 3/8". I did the half a coil cutting and it just wasn't enough so I opted for a full coil to get the desired drop. In total I cut 2 1/2 coils each full coil was about a .85 drop in height. I like the result for the most part however the car seems to max out on severe bumps but I'm not sure yet as I haven't hit many since the drop I will let everyone know once I've driven the car for a while.

Yeah I'm going to try and get my car over to my friend this week finally got it back up and running. So the ball should get rolling this week or sometime soon.

The company my friend works for only work with quality materials, if they didn't they wouldn't be as big as they are. And all of their dis-assembly, cleaning, inspection, shortening and assembly is done in house. Or sent to they're Japanese HQ....I think. Oh I also wanted to thank everyone who has responded to this topic with postive feed back, and interest.

I'll have to get back to you on that I'm hoping that a bolt in coilover can be produced, however with the small dimensions of the Z strut tower and the design of the spindle it may not be able to happen that way, but don't write that option out just yet.

Thanks oscar hopefully interest starts to increase as well as feed back. Good luck with the search. Also I'd like to say that I do like the setups from the companies I mentioned and don't mean any offense by refering to what they have as a "kit".

I'm gauging interest in people that would like real coilovers for their Zcars. This would be high quality and from a single company a real coilover not a kit that you'd buy from different companies. Like most of the ones sold buy MSA, Arizona Z Cars, Beta Motorsports. Pricing has yet to be decided but interest will dictate a price. So if your interested make a list with your name, car, year, and what you do with the car.

Was wondering if anyone knew if there was a significant difference between the ones offered by MSA and the original bullet style mirrors?
