Dope510 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 So i want to lower my 510 but so far i've only found some coilovers on technotoytuning.com nd they're way over my budget so i was wondering if just maybe any other coilovers from other cars would fit???? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Fronts. Remove the stock spring and cut one coil off of it. Carefully trim the bottom spring mount and grind away the weld. Assemble using a split collar and set your ride height. About $25. For another $20 you can replace the strut oil with thicker motorcycle fork oil. Lower, firmer ride for under $50 Rears. Go to wrecking yard or buy new Dodge D-50 front coils and cut them down to 9.5" About $70 or less. Quote Link to comment
Wicked Saint Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Currently running Ermish coilovers front and rear but before that I had taken my stock springs and cut .5-1 coil at a time until I got the ride height perfect. I really can't complain about the feel of it either. I had to do it 4 times to get it just right . By the end of it I could get the car on jack stands pull all the suspension out and get it back on the groung in 2.5 hours. I think I still have the springs I had cut in my garage if you are near San Jose you are welcome to have them. Not sure iof there is any differences in 2 and 4 dooor springs so may want to check that. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I went to Granger and found a split collar part# 1L710 I am wondering if this coller would work to place under a spring perch on a 280Z strut for my 510? Eddie Quote Link to comment
