Hello I recently bought a 1976 280z and it is sitting pretty high and I would like to lower it respectably not slam it. I was wondering if a set of 240 springs would be compatible with it to bring the height down. Or what would be the best thing to do. I do not have a lot of money to throw at it so I am not looking at getting coil overs.   

I use these:

I will take a look. Is the car on your profile your car with these springs?

         -Thank you.

yes

Chevette springs are an option. Cut to the desired height.

I believe a 280 has the larger spring isolators in the rear.  You may be able to replace those with 240z isolators and still use your factory springs.  That would lower the rear by about 3/4". I have never owned a 280z before so someone else may be able to chime in but I believe the front isolators are the same height on a 280 as they are on a 240z so wouldn't be able to lower the fronts using that approach.
