Guest DatsunSigma Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hey guys, this is my first thread and it concerns the S130 2+2 suspension. On mine the suspension is real hard and I was wondering if there is any aftermarket supplier of the springs or shocks. I have seen springs for it but its for a coupe, not the 2+2. I figure that the front shocks will be the same but as for the rear, im not sure. Just wondering what you guys have done to resolve this. Thanks.

Cody 82 ZXT Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Most items are made for the coupe. I think the rear shocks are the same but, the rear spings are alittle stiffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DatsunSigma Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Yea I've noticed that the shocks are the same, but the springs for the coupe arnt the same as for the 2+2. I was wondering if there is any other type of springs that might work... I did read that someone made their own springs for the 2+2 but I would'nt have any idea were to start with that. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Check with Motorsport Auto about springs. I know they have specific springs for the 2+2. Also, I should memtion that the springs are stiffer than stock. What type of ride are you looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drftn280zxt Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 MSA has springs for your car. But what are looking for? A little stiffer than stock, or very stiff? If you have intentions for auto-x and other types of racing I'd just go for Modern Motorsports coilovers, bit pricier than springs, but more customizable. Something I am considering in the future for my 280zx. Like these other guys said the 2+2 had stiffer springs in the rear. The extra foot of car length acconts for couple hundred more pounds of weight. Thus this must be take into consideration when choosing custom spring rates. 280zx seater= ~2800 lbs 280zx 2+2= ~3000 lbs Assuming the source I used to find the weight of a 2+2 is accurate.

Guest DatsunSigma Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Pretty much, I was just looking for springs that are a little bit harder. The problem I was having was finding a company that made them for the 2+2. Thanks guy for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wes M Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hey sorry to dig up an old thread... DatsunSimga.. did you manage to find some springs for your 2+2 in the end? I'm going through the same process at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
