chevyson Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 It seems tokico 280Z rear springs part # 5022R are no longer available.The 200 lb in rate is what i'm looking for. Anybody have any alternatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Look : http://www.arizonazcar.com/springs.html Call Dave and see if he is still selling the spring set for 240/260/280 Zs. I used them on two V8 builds. Good for daily driver. No complaints in ten years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used them on two V8 builds. Good for daily driver. No complaints in ten years. Already called him,he does not carry them any more. Nor does anyone else i could think of. tokico has a few fronts, but only one rear and they don't plan on building more.

R3VO 3VOM Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Sort of unhelpful, but if this had been a week ago I could've pulled some for you. There was a Z in the local junkyard with a full set of tokico springs. Hope there are some alternatives for you though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I've heard cut-down Chevette springs do the trick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I bought mine from johnc a while back, perhaps he still has a set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Call tokico back, get the specs like diamter and height etc. and then call eiback and have them custom make a set. Its not that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xnke Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The chevette springs are getting harder to find, but they do work and result in about a 210lb/in spring rate. They do need to be cut down, as they are too long from the factory. The rears will need at least one full coil cut, 1.5 or 2 is possible on 225/50/15's...the fronts need at least two coils cut, and you will still have a 4" fender gap. Cut one coil at a time and drive it a week or so to see how you like the ride, before cutting them to the ride height you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
