HLS30-08077 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 So as most of you know, I'm rebuilding the 260Z this winter but I think I ran into a snag. As the picture below shows, the 240Z front left spindle/strut assemble is 3/16" shorter than the 260Z assembly (2/74) And the 260Z's spring perch is 1" lower than the 240Z's. So my question is........ If I use the 240Z spindles/strut assemblies and 240Z Eibach PR springs and KYB struts like I would on a 240Z, would there be any ride height differences or unforeseen issues?? From what I can tell, and off the top of my head, The 260Z springs and struts are a slight bit longer, because the spring perch is lower on the strut tube and the tube is 3/16" taller. But it seems like everything else is identical (torsion bar, steering knuckle and control arm) So what did the change in tube length and lower perch do for the 260Z versus the 240Z??? Thanks for the facts and not overloading the thread with opinions (hint hint) Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLS30-08077 Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 So nobody has ever dealt with this type of swap or issue? I just want to know what the difference would be before I order parts or do the swap and find out the hard way. Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
