CZCAR Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 hey i lowered the rear of my 280zx today, i noticed that the springs are not as tight as the original ones, if there is any movement at all its not safe right? I placed some spacers to try and compress spring more and have reduced the movement, but i have a feeling at full extension the springs could rotate, maybe not slip out, but rotate. i need to no whether by what i have described i will need lowered struts? or is this ok or any advice? thanks cz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 What brand of springs did you order? All the lowering springs I've seen are shorter than the factory issue springs. They will stay in thier spring purch at all times unless maybe you do some Dukes of Hazard style jumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 If you're overly worried about it you could install some straps to make sure the springs don't come unperched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZCAR Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 hey they are king springs, big down here in australia and newzealand, they are superlows. yeah they can rotate but not really slide out, whats this attaching of straps your talking about? cz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank280zx Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 if you space them you will lower the car less! My springs are loose 1"orso when ot under load, just riptide them in place when it worries you ( i USE KONI adjustables and sus, tech lowering springs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
