Guest kurt8394 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hey everyone i have a later 74' model 260z with thos big ol'e bumpers on it and i'm thinking of taking off the back one and shaving it and putting a front air dame on it. The only prb is will this drastic change in weight make the car sit up higher????? i was thinking of lowering the car but i dunno if i should due too this factor, i'm trying to get as low as petes V8 z http://mywebpages.comcast.net/pparaska/ i'm actually going for that look. Also what are some good companies for lowering springs ? What are my options i'm on kind of a budget ??? any ideas on getting it low ?

Guest rick458 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 the Tokiko springs will lower it 1" although sometimes they dont drop the car that far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomoHawk Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 I looks like the MM coilovers are adjustable to give you the height you want? And all you would have to do is grind the old perch off smooth? That way I could lower my front as much as needed. It looks about 1 inch higher than the back right now, & I'd like to lower the whole thing about 1 to 1 1/2 inch. cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecp48 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 I have a 1978 280 which has the bumpers removed. On the front is the remaining piece of the MSA Aero Kit, ie: Dam with molded bumper. The rear was shaved by the prior owner, due to curing the rust which came up under the aerokit, ie: rockers and rear. Car looks good in MOA. It seems to ride about 1/2" higher than normal. I am preparing to install 240Z lowering springs and Tokiko HP strut cartridges. I believe it will arrive at a total drop of about 1.5". I tried to paste a picture on here, but apparently I am using the wrong method. ecp48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
