new front and rear 240Z springs

[ZSource]

I'm restoring an early 240Z and I'd like to use a new set of springs on it. Does anyone have a set of NOS springs they would be willing to sell at a reasonable price? I have plenty of used springs so don't offer to sell me any more.

Hi Ben,

I have been looking for some new OEM springs for my 240 for some time now, to no avail. The closest I have come is an offer from Banzai for some reproduction springs to the original specifications. Not exactly cheap at $165/pair, but they are supposed to be a direct replacement for the original stock springs.

Hope this helps,

Marty

theres a GREAT deal on ebay right now for tokico springs and 5 way adjustable shocks for the 240Z. the whole set is a buy it now at 499.00 + 49.00 for shipping.

no matter what you think you just cant beat that price at all

[Arizona240z]

I agree on the price....... It is a great deal. I just don't have the funds to go that route. I'm also trying to keep the Z from dropping that extra inch

I just bought a set for the rear... I'll be getting some for the front though.

Here's the deal, They are $89 per pair (plus shipping), and he takes credit cards. He has several sets left and I've worked out a deal that I can get a discount on mt front set depending on how many I refer over to him that buy. Just tellin it like it is. If you buy them from him, tell him Dwight with the orange 240 sent you oh and let me know to....

His name is Dave, pretty damn nice guy (I just met him the once), his website is www.arizonazcar.com and his email address is dave@arizonazcar.com. I hope to get arounf to installing these this weekend so I'll let ya know how it goes. Here is a pic of the ones I bought from him.

Dwight:

I've seen this fellow's website, and from the photo, they are not OEM rear springs. I believe that he advertises them as stiffer that stock springs, but not lowering the car. Did he give you any specs on the spring rate, or anything?

EDIT: Nevermind, I checked the site and they are 200 lbs/in for Rears and 180 lbs/in for Fronts.

Dwight,

Thanks for checking them out. The price is really good! I think they are way too stiff for my tastes though. Even Stage II Euro Springs are only 122F/142R. Those would probably be better for racing than a street car.

I guess I'll keep looking.

I have a set posted on the for sale section.

They are brand new springs front and rear.

Nissan parts tags are still on them.

fronts 55020-21004

rears 54010-A5410

Have them listed for 550 but will entertain resonable offers.
