DuoWing Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Hey guys, I'm sure this has probably been brought up and I'm not searching the right keywords or something, but I just wanted to ask about the install. We pulled the front struts from my 76' 280Z and I bought the Tokico Illumina/Spring advanced handling kit or whatever it's called. Anyway I bought new dust boots for the struts as well from KYB. The boots fit slightly different it looks like. Almost like it fits around the bumper that it comes with instead of fitting over the lip where the original boot was. Anyway we got it all together and the springs don't need to be compressed at all. I've been searching and this seems to be the case from what I can tell. Basically I wanted to make sure that we just put the springs on there, bolt the mounting plate on and then put it back on the car? The springs from what I can tell from my searches will move when there isn't the weight of the car on them, right? Also I'm a noob to suspension stuff, but I assume the "bumper" that comes with my KYB dust boot is the bump stop, right? Thanks for input guys.

PETEW Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 The springs are always a confusing thing for people. If you have the stock springs still just match the aftermarket coils with the stock ones (amount of). The "bumpers" that you are talking about I am going to guess they are bump stops. Are they cone shaped with a hole in them. If they are then they are bump stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
