Can't find stock height springs !!!

[tp1gbw]

I am in the process of freshing up the front of my 1978 280z - new disks, ss btrake lines, struts, poly bushings. I wanted to get new springs but cannot find anything anywhere at the stock ride height. Seems that all the Euro springs are gone - even though many people list them for sale. I haven't tried dealer yet (any bets on that one) Can anyone help? Oh - also I have heard the "you may sagging so much now that lower springs will be the same or higher" Anyone care to comment with anecdotal evidence?

When I was re-doing my 240 suspension, Mike said he had a place that could make spring for him at the stock specifications. They weren't cheap though.

I ended up finding some Euro springs off Ebay. They were supposed to lower the car by 3/4". The cars now sits significantly HIGHER than it did before.

I can attest to that. I just swaped my sagging rear suspension for a set of tokico illuminas and matching springs (Which were supposed to lower the car 1"). The car sit's exactly the same.

Thanks guys - I guess I'll have to go with the aftermarket lowering stuff - FYI www.springworks.com quoted me $228 for 2. That was stock height but 120# front 140# rear.

Hi

Check with www.arizonazcar.com $198 for 4 springs.

I like the stuff Arizonazcar sells and the price - but he says his springs lower a 280 by 1.5 in. - not what I am looking for. I am looking at the Suspension Techniques spring at http://www.upgrademotoring.com
