HaaJeHaa Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Hello! Need some help from people with Arizona Z car coilover experience. The situation: It's time for cutting and welding the strut tubes, so I can mount the AZ car coilovers to my car. I have a complete set of strut tubes extra (provided by "aplyedmind" on the forum, thanks!) and the car is off to paint, so I can't measure the height on the car myself, so I was hoping some of you could help me out on this one! Where should I cut of the strut tubes and weld the sleeves on so I nearly can slam my 280z to the ground? I wan't it really low when the coilover is bottomed, but at "just low" when heighten maximum. Some people say that the measurements AZ car got on their website makes the car sit to tall... I'm going to run 17x9 and 17x9,5 Rota's with 215/35 and 225/35 without flares, and I want my 280z to sit (similar height) like this beautiful Benz: More pics: http://www.stancenation.com/2010/09/09/chi-town-beast/ What do you think? I know the car won't handle well, but it's going to be a show car with that setup. I have another setup for the road...

Ls240sx Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I could be wrong, but i think the problem you are going to have is not with how short you are going to cut the tubes, its going to be you can only go short to where the strut insert will have no travel.maybe you could find some shorter inserts? put some honda coilovers in it and it will solve your problem. they are super short and you can make as low as you want.
