okay just wondering if anyone has made rear coilovers for their c10 or c110. im about buy a pair of coilovers sometime this week or next. im going to have to modify the mount a bit and extend but looks like a fairly simple job, i believe i found the right size coilover for my application, now all i need to do is buy the parts so i can get to work...anyway if anyone out there has already done this,.,,,your input would be gladly accepted. thanks

73skyline,

If you can get a set of C210 struts they are more suitable than 280ZX.

C210 had 270mm discs vs 280ZX 252mm discs.

The caliper sits further out on the C210 - ie the caliper offset from the bolt holes to the centre of the pad is nearly identical but the mounting point on the strut is further out from the axle centreline.

Then you can go with 504/604 Pug 270mm x 20mm ventilated discs, 5mm thick spacer between the disc and the hub, plus a set of 87/88 Toyota 4WD four piston calipers.

Pretty much a bolt together deal.

Some of the six cylinder models from the same years would be worth investigating as they may also have had the 270mm solid discs.

A set of 260/280Z struts can also be used particularly when going to coilover - just use the C110 upper plate with appropriate spring seat adaptor.

That will also give 270mm discs but you then have to use C110 hubs.

Does the c10 and c110 have the same rear shocks and springs

for what ive been told yes...but i could be wrong....but for a friend of mine who owned both the c10 and c110 he said their the same or atleast mount the same.

If you dont mind me asking where did you get the setup and how much did you get it for?

the oem style springs and shocks are not the same, but the coil overs may be interchangeable thanks to the adjustability
