LSX_510 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hello guys, I just bought a 72 510 coupe, the car needs a lot of love to be show worthy. But Im building it for the GRASSROOTS $2011 challenge. So looks really aint the factor until next winter Anyways on to my questions, I have read about using some 240/280?? front struts then fab up some coil overs? What struts do I need? I plan on putting this thing in the dirt so any help with the suspension or a link to a write up would be extremely welcome thanks in advance guys :) Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Usually the 280zx struts are used to lower the car and add larger calipers and vented rotors. What does 'putting in the dirt' mean. Off road? You won't want to lower it if that. Quote Link to comment
LSX_510 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Just going to lower it lol sorry for the redneck term Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Got cha now. In the dirt = lowering. 280zx struts shortened to take MR2 inserts and some coil overs. Quote Link to comment
LSX_510 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 What about the rear? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Coil overs and springs. Quote Link to comment
