jt1 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Maybe try the coilover FAQ? http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=103861 jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalemZ Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Thanks, I'd learn a lot from that experience. I guess that's how you had yours installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalemZ Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 jt1, thanks. That's the kind of help I was looking for. Some very useful info at the FAQ. Thanks again for taking me seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 If you can't weld, or cut metal, farm it out. This upgrade is not for the faint of heart. BTW, I think I have a set of 240Z strut housings with the spring purches already removed... I'd let them go reasonably cheap. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
