Boy howdy do I have the goods for you!

Here they are:

They can be had cheep because they are complete crap !, but shipping and handling will be obscene because I charge a $150 fee to overnight the title information to your state, to cover the cost of copies, notarizing, eating out, having my car detailed, and to get Bill RamZey a new pimp cap!

I would switch to the later 280Z strut spacers or something similar to get your ride height back up!

Will's spacers will work, but I really doubt that he would be willing to turn loose of them. Goodness knows how much he loves them! ROFL

Seriously, the best thing to do is stock height springs. As for tires, you might be able to go a bit taller if you also go narrower, but you're not going to gain much that way. Stock springs is your best option.

Just get a set of 5" rear strut spacers from a 260 or 280. I lowered my 73 with STs and new struts.....but I hated it at first. Then I went to my local "pull your own part" paid a guy $20 to pull a set of 5 inchers off a 77 280 which I paid $10 for. Got them put on my car by a friend of mine and was so happier. The stance with 3" on the front and 5" on the back is outstanding. Give the 5" spacers a try it will cost you little and I am sure you will like it.
