bigjohnsonzc Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 OK guys got another one for you.... after reading the suspension threads i have to wonder is Tokico springs really worth the hassel, it looks like there have been some ishues with the springs binding up or even bringing the car down lower then expected. . im looking at the kit (TOK HPK253) but if there going to bind up or give me ishues why bother? What other suspension kits would be a good choice? im just looking to improve my ride and handeling a small bit. . . another words im not the track guy here..... lol anything slightly over stock would be great! ive looked at the Eibach springs too but maybe there are some other kits out there that might have worked better for you guys... also on my rear shocks how do i remove just the shock? it looks like it comes as a whole assembly. i have attached pictures to help with my question.....

The vast majority of people who run these kits have no problems. The springs will lower the car 1 to 1.5" depending on how good your OEM springs are. There's a thread on this site with customer who had problems with the front springs on his 240Z. Even though I didn't sell the parts, I worked with the Tokico engineers to try and figure out the problem that appeared to be unique to that particular car. The customer chose another route before we could figure out what the issue was. Also, for your 280Z, the Tokico springs are linear at 185F and 200R which works out very well for the car. Tokico does not recommend their spring setup for a 2+2 but that's just heir lawyers concern about 4 people in the car. I've sold a number of sets to folks running 280Z 2+2s and they are very happy. And, reagrding removing your rear shocks, buy a service manual or search this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
