Suspension Set Up on N/A 1987 Z - Need Help

buckwilly · Oct 1st, 2003, 01:00 PM

I need to upgrade the suspension on my 300z n/a. The car runs great but drives like a boat. the struts are old and worn out, most likely the originals!
I am looking to upgrade but the tirerack is the only place I can find. I may do a KONI upgrade all around and leave the springs stock. I don't know about springs but I heard that they don't ever really wear out. What is a inexpensive yet effective way I can upgrade the springs and struts...and webpage links?

Remember this anytime you lower your Z you will need aftermarket camber adjusters and tension rods or your tires will not last long. As for for struts Koni, Tokico, & KYB. but remeber the ride will stiff and may not be suited to your style of rode comfort.

Do a search on Google or use the vendor that support this forum?

I have looked with google. I will continue to look, but Koni seems the way to go...even though it is costly. KYB is the cheaper alternative but how much stiffer than stock are these? How long will they last with stock springs?

The best thing to do is research and try and ride in a fellow Zer that has a setup you like.

I have a TT or I could give you a little more help.
