78280z Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I am currently restoring a 78 280z and I want to revamp the suspension for lower ride height and good handling (for spirited street driving and the occasional autocross or open track day). I was looking to get the Tokico HP spring and strut setup from Beta Motorsports since its a great deal. Datsun 260/280Z HP Advanced Handling Suspension Kit (springs and HP shocks) HPK253 $347.00 However, I have read that some people are having problems with the Illumina setups. Do these same problems arise with the HP setups? Also, while I'm at it, should I look into swaybars to improve handling as well? Thanks in advance for any replies!

e_racer1999 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 ^if it's from beta motorsports, you can bet that it will work. you'll get differing opinions on sway bars. i like 'em reasonably big. i have basically an interpart setup (15/16" front 3/4" rear) with poly bushings. feels great to me, but i haven't autoxed it yet. do a couple searches on this site. there's plenty of folks that have awesome set ups.
