interchangability of suspension 280z -> 2+2

[janaka]

Hey guys/gals;

 

I recently purchased (I have yet to get the car) a '74 260z 2+2.

 

I currently have a my 280z LS1 in the garage. I have wanted to upgrade the suspension on the 280z for a while (coilovers, adjustable struts etc) but just haven't got around to it. This 2+2 has a seemingly stock suspension at this point from what I've been told/seen.

 

What I would LOVE to be the case is that I could take my lowering springs/KYB's out of the red 280z which are still in good shape and plop them onto the 260z 2+2 along with my upgraded rear sway bar that I removed from the LS1 car. This would give me a decent start on the 260z for a nice around town cruiser and I could upgrade the red Z as I've wanted to with a clear since I can transfer parts so I feel like I'm recycling

 

Based on my week worth of searching the early 260z's have the narrower strut tubes ala the 240z's and the late 260z will have wider strut tubes ala 280z. I never saw a mention if the same is true for the 2+2 like the coupe's. I would assume so but I HATE assuming things especially when I'm within the planning stages.

 

IF the car is a late '74 (can't remember off hand the manufacturing date) and has the larger diameter strut tubes will my strut/spring combination swap over from the 280z?

 

Some clarification would be awesome as I can't seem to find anything through my searching on the 2+2 to coupe interchangability.

 

Thanks
