Posted Yesterday at 12:57 AM1 day comment_675478 I'm thinking of putting coilovers on my Z. Would like to lower it a bit more, and get the alignment to some decent settings. And, to just do it. I'd rather have bolt-in vs welding, but okay with cutting for better access to the camber plates. Street driven car by old guy, so good ride with ability to have fun in the curves occasionally.I haven't seen any posts newer than a few years old, so just wondering what is a good choice nowadays. I see BC, Silver Mine, Megan, etc., and others. Even Techno Toy Tuning, pricey, but they are 30 minutes up the road from me. They even have strut casings available if I choose not to cut mine up. Maybe throw in one of their steering racks while I'm at it.Anyway, just wondering what some recent experiences/opinions are out there.Thanks Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/69316-coilovers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 hours ago5 hr comment_675491 The reason I originally went with coil over shocks was I removed the ridicules bumpers off of my 78 280z and replaced with them with the 240 series style. I removed the bumpers/crash absorbers and that weight itself, with the stronger springs allowed the car to raise well over 2”. I could have gone in a different direction but the coil overs gave me the opportunity to dial in the height. The Swift springs from Japan gave it a softer ride. It handles great and glad I went the route I did. Considerable fabrication involved. IMO well worth it.

5 hours ago5 hr Author comment_675493 I had to educate myself on Swift springs. Found this helpful. Sounds to me like it would be worth the extra cost. Found this one with good Coilover 101 info too.
