Topher88 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I know i want to go with a 250lb spring rate but what i am having troubles finding answers to is which length springs did you go with? it looks like on the Ground Control set up they went with 8" springs but idk if that might be too long for the shorter shocks. If your running the MR2 inserts let me know what you went with and if there is anything you would change. Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 You can order the ground controll in a 7 inch spring as well Quote Link to comment

jdmdime Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I used ae92 front inserts and 7" ground control 550lbs springs. Yes it hurts my back... Its my daily. Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 200 lb springs work great in any street driven 510. Stiffer is usually worse for any driving condition. 200 is magic! Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 do you guys running the 7 inch springs ever bottom out the shock? Quote Link to comment
jdmdime Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 200lbs/in would be fine for a normal height 510. Im extremely low. Im rubbing 185/60r14 tires on the top frame rail. Im sure most 510s cant say that. I think im gonna go with 450s... I have yet to bottom out my short stroke setup way low on my 7" springs so ull be fine Quote Link to comment

dennis Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 You guys must be running real low, I know I am as low as I want to go with 8" 225lbs springs and my collars are locked down 3" from the top. my wells are around 1" lower than the top of the front tires and I have good travel plus I am on 280zx inserts. Tires are 195/15/50 Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 i picked up some 8" 250lb springs should be able to go as low as i want. im pretty much picking up all my stuff for my struts at once and that shit adds up... springs, new brakes, rotors, camber plate, sleeves, struts.. i still need to get some hubs. do you guys know if there is a difference in hubs between the 280zx years?
