johnc Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 So much depends on how much work your nephew can do himslef. Labor is the biggest cost factor. If you want a completely assembled, ready to go set of shortened struts, I sell a double adjustable set for around $4,500 which is comparable to what you pay for a set of Tein RS160s, if they were available for a 240Z. If you can do the work yourself you can do a basic coil over kit including cheap springs and shocks for around $1,000. That price includes some slack for replacing worn out parts.

ULISES Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I'm in the process of doing coilovers,I will have to pay,I got quotes from 3 shops and two were in the 1500 range,I have a shop here in the bay doing it for me for 1300 wich I think is a fair price. It includes the gc coilover set plus labor,I'm going to take the strut housing apart and take it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar240z Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 there was a thread earlier concerning DIY coilover conversions, so if you had the means to do the labor yourself, you could be spending around 600-700 for a coilover conversion. 400 of that is illumina struts, so you could go lower cost on that. the springs, coilover nuts and threaded tubes cost about 200.

cscottmiller Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I paid $745.37 for Ground Control coilovers and Tokico HP Struts. They use Eibach springs, or did at the time when I purchased them. Had a buddy do the welding for free. Good quality for the price, I highly recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Ernie: I have illuminas and sourced my coilover parts from a couple NASCAR-type venders. I think I have $800 in it all together with the "brian's garage" top spring mounts. Soon enough I'll be doing camber plates and some real upper spring mounts. If I reacall correctly I spent $125 or so on the threaded collars and nuts from A1racing.com and $120 on the QA1 springs from Summit. The welding was all free (I was in welding school at the time) because I did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillet Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 i was talking to technotoytuning about a full setup. they said 1148 fully assembled if you supply the strut casings. i believe they use short stroke AGXs and GC weld in kit. camber plates are 170/pr extra.
