I got them today... now I need to clean the garage

 

ooohhhh la la!!!! Green.....

 

very nice!

Are those progressive or linear springs?

 

those are linear, on progressive, the coils get tighter together on one end. wow, they changed to green, used to be red

 

I hope they are what you want. I changed my springs in my 3kgt and went with the ground control coil overs and I absolutly hate them. My a$$ end bounces all over the place. I have em set to only about a inch lower than stock and they still bounce. I don't know jack about suspensions though, so maybe I can fix the bouncyness.

They look really nice and I hope they give you the ride you are after.

 

The springs themselves look the same all the way through. totally linear from the looks of it.

 

Wow green springs? My ST springs were silver. I wonder how many colors they're made in. It's like friggin Skittles or something.

 

The front springs, new struts, new ball joints, and bump steer spacers are all installed. (front only)

It already rides much much better... firm!
strangely, the rear end squat seems to be much less now too. Those old struts were compeltely blown. The new ones have resistance up and down.

I also test fitted a 16x9 wheel for the pic but with the undersize tire you can't tell the car is lowered. Oh, I got a 1.5" drop in front

 

BLEACH WHERE DID YOU ORDER THIS KIT FROM AND HOW MUCH WAS IT ?

LOOKS SICK


YA THOUGHS TIRES LOOK ALITTLE SMALL ..CUT THOUGHS COILS AND YOUR GOLDEN ....LOLOLOLOLOL J/K ....THEM RIMS ARE THE ONES I WANT ...
BLEACH I HATE YOU ...

BLEACH .......... YOUR FASTER THEN ME ON FOOT ANYDAY

NiGhT ShIfT DrIfT

 

yaaay bleachy, get them backs on now.

 

Good ****! Those springs would match robs 240 from Z Car Garage

 

I think I can slap the rear in tonight. The rear is far less work than the front.
When I post a pic of the whole car from the side (with proper tires) you'll see it doesn't need to be cut. There is no fender gap.

you know, I am pretty fast on foot...

I ordered the springs from Shox.com It was $190 and $15 shipping. It arrived in just under a week from the day I ordered it.

 

The rear springs and KYB struts are in!

...no change in ride height in back... ?? pics to follow

 

those wheels look like somebodies here. hmm i wonder, looks good bleach, hope to see this beast in july, any word on the motor swap, done yet. hhehehehehe

 

Here's the green

 

looks like we'll have to paint your car lime green and white to match those babies. ahahahah

 

Are those KYB's or Illumina's?

That lime green is truely frightening!

But they would actually look good on Rob's 240Z. It's up on the lift on the right. The 510 in the center in the same color is his too...

 

Those are KYB. I love how the car drives now. If the rear doesn't settle any more in a few weeks I might cut a half coil off on the rear.

 

here's a pic, aight!

 

SHAZZAM! nice!!! maybe i should go for some 15" wheels to fill out the fenderwells...looks good...

 

Damn, that took care of that wheel well gap quite well didnt it.

Is that how the rears were sitting when you installed them or is that post settling Bleach? Cause it does appear that the rear has a slightly larger gap but not enough to make it look bad or anything.

 

The springs are stock ST and not cut. So ya, the back is a little higher than the front. I'll probably leave it like that for a while. Maybe I'll get my extra rear crossmember slotted and then install that at the same time I cut a half coil off the back.

 

Personally I think it looks alot better when the back is just a tad bit higher. I think the car looks great.
Last thing you would want to do is cut em, and find you have a saggy assend afterwards.

 

15's?!? Try 17s or 18s Skull. oh wait, you wanna buy my 15's?

 

Bleach,those look great on the car! I have got to get some struts and springs for my 83, but not sure what to get. I am running 205/70/14 with stock wheels and can't spend the money to change wheels right now. You went with the Suspension Tech springs, and KYB GR-2 shocks/struts (non adjustable gas)? Are the $ 208 shocks from shox.com, the same that are on e-bay from jdmwerks13 for $130, Buy It Now?
