mlobster Posted January 2, 2012 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2012 Hello! I have searched this forum and other forums for answers, but i still have some questions about which coilover kit to go with. I am currently looking at this kit fm MSA:http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/PSDC14/23-4123Does anyone have these on their 240z?. If so, what is involved in actually installing these on the car? I would like to get a kit that is as close to "bolt on" as I can. I dont want to cut up my towers so i would have to get the EMI/ biscuit type camber plates. from looking around it seems like the kit from Beta motorsports is the way to go. Does anyone have any experience with that kit?Anyway, I would really appreciate any input you guys have if you own either of these two kits. Thanks in advance guys.

steve91tt Posted January 2, 2012 Share #3 Posted January 2, 2012 Yep, got mine from John. He knows as much about 240Z suspension as anyone I've heard of. He sells a great product and has excellent customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlobster Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted January 2, 2012 Steve, how was the installation? Did you need to modify your strut towers or anything that requires cutting/welding metal? I am curious to know how much of a bolt in this kit is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve91tt Posted January 3, 2012 Share #5 Posted January 3, 2012 Unfortunately there is no bolt on option for coilovers in our cars. The problem is that the lower spring perch is too large and must be cut off and replaced with a welded steel ring that supports the coilover threaded collar. There is no need to modify the strut towers, just the lower spring perches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer.tech Posted January 5, 2012 Share #6 Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) There are bolt on applications for the S30. They just cost an arm, leg, and kidney. Tein and Cusco can make one-offs and Aragosta has S30 Specific coilovers. Tein and Cusco cost over 2K and the Aragosta is at 5K last time I checked. Hard to justify at that price.Edit: go with the Beta motorsports stuff. If you dont want to cut into your car maybe just replace struts and springs?
