tyson Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I am looking for coilovers for my 81 ZXT....Unfortunatly I have not really found much of anything. I searched this site, and found more info than I could ever suck in on coilovers...for the S30, but no info for the S130. My Z's 24 year old suspension is really really showing its age. its to the point where driving on the freeway can suck, and I need it changed ASAP! Thanks - Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_82_ZXT Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 It is all custom work. There are few people who have done it, one being slownrusty. His ZX sits very low and mean with his custom coilovers, he has a website with pics about them. If you've got the cash go for it, if not, why not get Tokico springs and shocks? 1" drop too.

Guest DoTheDrew888 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Why coilovers? Just get some Tokico struts and either use the stock springs or get your favorite brand of lowering spring. I have Tokico HP struts and springs and I love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyson Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Why coilovers? I like to Rally Cross my Z, and often times the fields that we use are very bumpy, so I'd like to raise my ride height a little bit. But I dont want to be driving around town like I have a lift kit in the thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they work on the ZX as well? Thanks, Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nitr0 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'm currently building up a coilover kit for 280zx's with my work so i'll post when i have something created http://www.gtsuspension.com.au (Launches Early May) sid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickwon Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Mario, I'd say it was about two years since I got the set-up. At the time he had the set-up for my car. With Tokico Illuminas all around. But it was running out, I guess not much interest for them. I would contact Ross through his website to see what he can do for you. Thanks for the kind words on my car.

Drftn280zxt Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Does Ross make front coilovers for the ZX or not? Does he only make them for those who ask for them? What is the spring rate of those hypercoil springs out of curiosity. Also what type of strut is the 12 way adjustable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Not sure if he makes a bolt in type of assembly for the front but, he certainly has the kit so you can adapt them to the strut housing you have on there now. If you search the board you'll find several post about how to make (assemble) coilovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I dont want to be driving around town like I have a lift kit in the thing Just ad some Packer mudflaps , anyhow why not use that beater you could by ( my lead) and use that for muddin ( built a rally car) You can use some Tein units and adapt them $$ though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownrusty Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Frank - In those pics with the stock Iron Cross 15s, I had the car sitting way too low, and hence the -ve camber, since then I raised the car up quite a bit where it is much more pratical and it took away much of that -ve camber. So no I do not have camber plates. I have them for the front, but have yet to install them! Technotoytuning make excellent products!! I have them on my ZX and my old turbo Corolla.

Drftn280zxt Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 SlowNrusty, can you post pics of the job Techno Toy Tuning did for you on your suspension. (pics of suspension) I can across this link on there site http://www.technotoytuning.com/t3_site_pages/products/index.html the only thing that I am wondering is are those prices for both sides, and fo they need cores? Otherwise this could be a real winner, not to mention extremely affordable assuming those pirces are for both sides, that is complete coilovers for $1325, a steal by all means, plus that fact that they offer any spring rate is outstanding.
