Indeed... in the 24+ years of the Z31, no one has ever done anything with the suspension. We don't have a search feature on ZDriver either.

Tokico illumina adjustable shocks with Suspension Technology springs. Or if you are on a budget,
KYB shocks with eibach springs for mostly street driving and country roads.

Like was stated above, learn to use the search feature on the forum sites. You'll find everything you need to know and then some.

The black car in my sig picture has KYB shocks. It also has the Eibach springs. I didn't buy Tokico Illumina's because I couldn't afford them when I bought the shocks. I wish I had bought them now. Go to www.z31performance.com and do a search for Tokico's for more opinions. Try MSA for prices. If you don't have a Turbo, the adjustable Tokico Illumina's won't fit. Only the tokico Blue's. Illumina's are a direct fit replacement for the electronic adjustable's in Turbo cars that are no longer available. The fronts are called struts, the back are called shocks.
