aarang Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Here is my 1980 ZX last summer after rebuilding the suspension. I bought it from the original owner, bone stock with original paint, perfect black interior, etc. It's an odd one as it is a base model with no power options, but has A/C. Currently it has no drive train and is getting a turbo motor swap. I've had many 280zx turbo's, but this car is by far my favorite and is a keeper.

frank280zx Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I use generic coils the are in the 300 range and stiff as hell! On the 40 tires and no rubber in the front strut assembly to be found all i can say from a little test ride .. it is blood pissing stiff! Given the struts are on their heaviest setting, also i use msa sway bars and adjustable end links ( one poly rubber in there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
