Coils/springs 240z

Featured Replies

I want to lower my car about 2 inches if at all possible but dont know where or what kinda coils to get. Will it require some fab work?

If u did something that worked or know of an easy to accomplish this let me know

2 inches is too low for a 240Z, doesn't leave any suspension travel unless you have the struts sectioned. You'd be bouncing on the bump stops.

I absolutely agree with Arne. The 240Z does not have enough suspension travel to drop it much more than an inch. If you want to lower the car more than an inch here are a couple of links of how section your struts.

I sectioned the struts on my track car last year. It takes some time and you will need to find someone that can weld but if you want to lower the car the results are worth it. If you want to go this route I'd give John Coffey a call at Beta Motorsports. He is the man when it comes to suspension modification on these cars.
