Guest stdgrabbag Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 i am soon going to be working on my suspension and was wondering if anyone has purchased this from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOKICO-SHOCKS-SPRING-DATSUN-NISSAN-260Z-280Z-75-78-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem1c16478a15QQitemZ120632871445QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_1124 i searched and didn't really see too many comments about the springs. my goal is to just freshen everything up and lower the car just a bit. does anyone have any pics of this setup?

jhm Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Very popular set-up -- I don't think you'll be disappointed. There's a couple of stickies in the "Suspension" sub-forum on the Tokico springs and struts. How much it actually lowers your vehicle is entirely dependent on what year vehicle you have, and what kind of springs are on it currently (even if they're the stock springs, who knows how much they've sagged over the last 35 years?) John Coffey's company website has a lot of good info on improving the Z's stock suspension: "http://www.betamotorsports.com/index.php".

burninator Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 It says in the description these come with the Tokico HP struts... Beta sells them for less money. Plus he's on this forum and is good about answering questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I can answer questions about the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30 ounce Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Got mine from John. Though I have Tokico Illumina Shocks. Should be same ride hight as blues. My wife wasn't holding the car down much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not but its something that you can easily add later if you get too much kickback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
