tokico 2050 springs

[mike260z]

hi

last year i bought the tokico kit, but until this day i had a chanse to check the springs and i noticed that 3 are "5020-F" and 1 "5020-R"

im assuming that they sent me 3 front and 1 rear, is that right?

If they're labeled correctly, then yes, you have three front springs and one rear spring.

The stance of your car should be pretty "off" from that, I would expect...

i was about to install them this week

the problem is that i am in mexico and i bought from ebay :S

You may be able to find a pair of 5020R for sale, but a single could be difficult to find. Did you try contacting Tokico customer support? They may be able to help if you explain the circumstances. At least you can go ahead and install the fronts, until you get another rear. Is your 260Z an early car that uses the same kit as the '70-'73 Zs? If so, make sure, as Andrew pointed out, that they are not just mislabeled. Tokico Kit #251 should have front progressive springs 5020F and linear 5020R rear springs.

First person I'd talk to is the asshat who sold you a bogus spring kit.

I suppose failing in that, you could contact Tokico directly.

If it was sold as a kit Tokico most likely packed it with the three front springs. They do that from time-to-time. Check the part numbers on the shocks too. I sell the spring separately but I really, really try to talk people out of buying the 5020 springs. The front progressives suck on a 240Z. The 5022s from the 280Z kit are much better. Installation instructions for those springs on a 240Z are here:

the shocks are:

(2) TOHZ3015 and (2) TOHZ3016

i already have the front 5020, so it would be easier for me just to buy one rear and pay the shipping cuote and everything to México

thanks John ill contact you!
