FricFrac Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Just wondering if anyone has used the HPK255 set for the 280ZX on their car yet. There doesn't seem to be any info on the spring rates with the HPK255 kit but ANYTHING is better than the suspension on the stock '83 280ZX I just picked up. I had Tokico's in my '81 280ZX I originally bought 16 years ago and I really liked them but I did the budget lowering and just had the springs cut rather than replaced. I know the RX7 guys are saying the stock spring rate was around 100lbs and the Tokico strut/spring kit springs were just under 200lbs and quite jaring. I'm not too concerned about comfort as my 240Z is so stiff its the side walls that are flexing before you get much deflection in the suspension and I love how that little car handles. Anyone had any experience with this kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FricFrac Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Oh I did get the info for the spring rates for those who were wondering Fronts - 200lbs Rears - 175lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokescreen Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Are these the stock spring rates for an S130 or are they the TokicoHPK255 rates? Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FricFrac Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Those are the Tokico rates. He also mentioned that the fronts are linear and the rears are slightly progressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
