This is my Project car! a 1972 240z! I have noticed that the car seems to low on the rear suspensión and always bangs on Street bumps! Do I need to replace the whole shock absorber? or just the springs. If it were the springs which Brand is recommended? Is there a set that comes with shock absorbers that come with springs?

KYB shocks and regular Tokico springs work well.

What other alternative do i have to achive stock height and ride?

If you're looking for stock ride, and height, you'll need to look for OEM stock springs.... I'm not positive, but I think pretty much anything out that is aftermarket lowers the car, and firms up the ride... Your best bet probably is either Ebay, or a salvage yard.

The springs from Arizona Z Car states that they are "Considerably stiffer than stock" not what you're looking for
