I guess the tokico illumnias are the best thing available at this point. Is $499 a good deal for the set of struts and springs for a 240z?

When I got my new wheels the shop couldn't adjust my rear wheels and get them aligned. I notice a little steering wheel bounce now. I saw a kit I think at MSA and I can't find it now to help adjust this. Can someone explain to me what this kit does, why it's needed and how difficult it is to install? If anyone has a link to it too I'd appreciate it. I'd just like to get all the wheels aligned and know what's going on with this kit.

Hi everyone. I've fried one of my front hubs (sticking caliper cooked wheel bearings) and cannot find one. I was wondering if any of my local fellow members have any ideas as to where to locate one? Thanks, Dan

I just got done installing my rear bearings. One side spins perfectly fine. The other has a "tight" spot in it. It's not all the way around, just in a single area. It's not so tight it can't turn...it's just not an even revolution. The other side spins so freely that I want to make sure something isn't wrong. I also don't see why so many say to leave them alone because they're so hard to do. I thought it was very easy.

As suggested by jmortenson, i am asking for general feedback on A How high your car sits with various spring/strut combos and B do you like this setup???? It would be nice to see some measurements made from the ground to the upper wheelwells and the rockers as well.

Hey everyone, I'm looking to do some suspension work to my 1972 240z and I just can't decided on which way to go. I am really looking for a set of 225f/250r springs but I cant seem to find any. Is there anywhere that offers custom spring rates? I don't have the money to do a coilover setup, even though I really want to.. I'd like to run these springs with a set of Tokico Illuminas or something that is adjustable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Elliot.

Ok Here's the story. I purchased a set of front and rear coil springs out the Nissan competition catalog in probably 1990 or so. I put them on the car and drove it for a short amount of time then the car was parked since then. I just got the car back on the street and I'm not happy at all with the harshness of the ride. It handles like a dream but I'm making this my daily driver so I need something a little more forgiving. Does anyone have any direct experience with these springs and can maybe help me establish a benchmark as to how stiff they really are. I want to buy a new set of springs but I don't want to end up with the same ride as I have now. Thanks Derek

Wondering if anyone has the measurements for the length of the stock front and rear springs? I'm sure that it will vary from car to car based on the condition of the springs, however, I am planning on purchasing a set of unused lowering springs with no clue as to who makes them. This way I can get an idea of how much shorter they are vs stock and figure how much they will lower. Thanks
