Will they fit?

Featured Replies

Hey, there ya go patrick. That's the ticket save a bit on the inserts and you can buget for the proper springs too. I'm willing to bet you'll really like the result.

yeah they look great, ive got to email them they say that the setup fits the early 260Z all models??? I've a 260Z late model, anyway, thnk you guys so much for the direction!

Good Point Stephen. The suspension was "refined" (altered) in the 280Z years (as opposed to 240Z years) I think that they (Nissan) made many alterations, like most auto manufacturers do.

"Refined" in this case unfortunately means 'softened.' I have owned both a 70 and my present 78. Stock vs stock, the 70 had a much better road feel although the 78 is smoother (softer).

Just a thought about the differences....could it be due to the 280Z being heavier? Heavier motor, and all the addtional items bolted to it?

so i take it that it would be too much of a hassle to mount up the 240 struts/springs to my 280? would i be better off just buying the a 280 setup? Thanks for the feedback guys
