It would seem to be the case, but I want to make sure. Anyone?

OK. I have a set of performance springs as opposed to stock. Does the difference still apply ie will I have to buy different springs? The ones I have now were used in a 240.

Yup. Performance springs are the same issue. 240Z springs will slam a 280Z on the ground. Too soft, too short.

Go the Motorsport Auto. I think they have 4 different brands. I have the Motorsport Springs (NLA).

OK, good to know. That will definately change my plans. I'll have to buy a new set of springs. I just called Motorsport and the Euro-spec springs are unavailable. I'll shop around.

By the way, if anyone is interested in a set of Turn 6 springs for a 240 let me know. I also have a front sway bar too for a 240. That'll go towards a new set of springs
