Montoya Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Hello everyone, So I have the 240SX subframe installed on the Z but I need coil-overs. The 240SX coil-overs are about 3.5" too short. What have others done in the past to correct this problem? I can machine spacers but I think that would be a waist of time. How much do custom coil-overs run? I assume I just need a long enough shock body and I could make them using Ross's or anyone elses coil over kit. Check out my gallery for some pics of the install.

Hypertek Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 what year subframe did you install? 89-94 s13, or 95-98 S14? S14 has longer rears, so try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S14 has longer rears, so try that.[/quote'] I installed the S13 rear because it is slightly narrower (sp?). Thanks for the info regarding the S14 shocks, I'll try them out but I need about 3.5" more length. Thanks again Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypertek Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 yah im thinking s14 should be the way to go.. cuz i rememebr the height of the rear coilovers being longer.. if you go with coilovers, you can fine adjust it, and be set. hope that helps! post pics =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maichor Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I have S14 coilovers on mine and they are the perfect height for my setup. photos.yahoo.com/maichor75104 I used the stock S30 insulators. The rest bolted right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
