Any advice on lowering 72 Z?

Featured Replies

Justin,

Welcome to Classic Z Cars. For the tires to look "tucked in", you are more than likely going to need to section an inch or two out of your struts to keep from possibly bottoming the shock or coil bind. You will also need some sort of bumpsteer adjustment because the geometry in the front related to the steering rack gets whacky when the car gets real low. I would say the Tokico and Eibach route is a good one but it doesn't seem to get you as low as you want.

You should start a 4th thread, one for each wheel ;)
Actually, there were if you count the blog......;)

Here's my setup. Tokico 1" drop springs and Tokico struts.

15 inch American Ansen wheels and Michelin 205/60/15s Pilot Exalto AS.

Bought the car with the setup. Ride is a little

bouncy but not too bad.
