2savage Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I bought Tociko springs and shocks for my 1973 240Z and the vendor sent a kit for a 260Z, 75 to 78. What is the difference and will they fit? These are the adjustable Illumina shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 They will fit but the spring rates are stiffer and taller. You'll have to cut the springs and maybe adjust the length of the spacer under the rear shock in the strut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2savage Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 stiffer, good. Taller, bad. How much taller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Your car will probably be 1 to 1.5" higher then the factory stock ride height. I suggest you send the parts back and get the correct kit (ILK252). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COmputoman Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I have a better idea.. Send them to me. Edit: JohnC, is the trimming of the springs due to the top strut mount covered in this article? http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/suspension/strutbumperlowering/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you send the parts back and get the correct kit (ILK252). Actually this will be good for my needs. Ultimately this car will compete in the Targa Newfoundland car rally and I will need the extra clearance. I have competed in this superb event twice in the past and can't wait to do it again. Unfortunately this year I am too busy opening up my new Scooter Store "Metro Scooter" which is in northern New Jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
