Guest 1SickZ Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 im currently using tokico springs and shocks on my Z31 im also putting over 400hp to the wheels. and my wheel hop is insane- how do i fix this? noone makes coilovers for the car and if they do (jic) its 2500 dollars. look for a stiffer spring out of another car (cut down to fit) ? Anything ?? the rear z31 set-up is a shock with no housing and a spring resting on the a-arm. HELP ME PLZ!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 The 280ZX has a similar setup in the rear to a Z31. For my ZX, I have thought about looking for a generic coil over shock/spring that would work. It may require fabricating an upper mount, but since the shock does not locate the wheel it should not matter. It may also give a little extra clearance for larger wheels. You may also want to check with Modern Motorsports. I think Ross has a coil over kit for the 280ZX, and it may work with the Z31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 You could probably also wedge the springs that you have. You can get a rubber (or maybe urethane) block that you can wedge into your shocks to significantly stiffen them.

Guest 1SickZ Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 These rubber blocks don't they raise the hieght of the spring too ? i always here of ppl using chevy truck springs?? any idea or info on that ?

David K Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 The z31 suspension is different from the 280zx, please dont kid yourself. The z31 has a spring sandwiched between the body and the control arm, and a shock near the outer part of the control arm. Its like the front suspension of old American cars. The 280zx has spring over shock. Its a complete different setup guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 My bad, it has been a while since I have looked at a Z31 rear end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
