GORILLARILLA21` Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I just put my front coils on.. Nervous on how high it is.. I lowered it all the way after realizing it looked lifted.. There is no engine in it. It will have a ka24de. Will it go a lot lower? (I wanna have my tire at least to the fender) :thumbup: off the top of my head, the spring is rated at 215. Excuse the mess, I was just excited to get the front on the ground. Well, was until I saw it this high :rofl: Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yes it will drop quite a bit with an engine in it. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 So those are the wheels Jrock redid. I saw the Jilbas in his shop. And to answer your question, the front should come down quite a bit after throwing an engine in it. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 First put the engine or its equivalent weight in the front! Then ask if it will go lower. You can't set clearance until you have finished dicking around. Quote Link to comment
GORILLARILLA21` Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yes Jon did a great job on them! I was going to stand on the crossmember until I realized I weigh 160lbs soaking wet :sleep: Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 John does fantastic work. He did my MKIIs and MKIIIs along with a billion other items I keep sending him. Glad to see them on the car. Quote Link to comment

DatMo Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 That's a pretty sick dime. I don't know how much it will drop but I'm sure it will droped a ton. A friends e30 slammed once he dropped in. lol Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 i am too busy tomorrow to bring my 240 lbs over to help......if the rear was on the ground that would help too. Quote Link to comment
Dattokai Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 A lot of 510s are getting rare wheels. I love it. Quote Link to comment
jser12 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Don't forget, you need to also let your suspension settle quite a bit too. I threw coils into my friends miata and over the coarse of 2 days it sat about another 1.5-2 inches. Quote Link to comment

GORILLARILLA21` Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Ill let you know Jon. And I'm confused on my brakes as well.. The guy sent me "280zx" brakes and pads but I had 280zx struts with the brakes and his pads fit mine, but not his. And mine don't bolt up to the struts. There's like a 2 inch gap so I'm not sure what the hell he sent me.. -.- Quote Link to comment
GORILLARILLA21` Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Unless there's 2 different generations of the brakes.. But I couldn't find anything on it. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 no sounds like maybe z brakes but not sure on that .... maybe start a thread inthe brake section or post a ststus upate that links this thread mentioning the brake differences and an a need for help identifying it ...

Tristin Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Pictures of the struts and calipers would help us ID them. Quote Link to comment
GORILLARILLA21` Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Ill snap a few pictures when I get off tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment
GORILLARILLA21` Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 For sure 280zx brakes that i got from pick a part that has a 1.5-2 inch gap when bolting on: What the guy sent me with those coilovers that are supposed to be 280zx brakes but don't know what they are..: Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 those look to be a newer caliper.....where and how did you source the coilovers and these brakes... I would file a claim if it were me....at least contact him and be like .... hey so yeah no cool bro Quote Link to comment
