AlbatrossCafe Posted October 16, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 16, 2017 Hey guys, I need new coilovers at all 4 corners. Regardless of the fact that I have no idea yet which ones to get, I need a few questions answered: Where did you take your coilovers + strut tube to have them welded together? (do I need a specialty shop or what?) How much did it cost to weld all 4 coilovers? (I plan on taking them the new coilovers + disassembled part) What do I need to provide to the shop to have the job done? (which OEM parts, what kind of info do I need to provide in terms of ride height, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbatrossCafe Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) haha ugh... that does help but it seems to be a little bit more involved than I was hoping for. That answers question #3. Anyone have an idea on cost to weld/where I can take it? Should I take to a Z-specialty shop or can any custom-fab shop do it?

zKars Posted October 17, 2017 Share #4 Posted October 17, 2017 There is a thread here from Wheee! where he shows details of how he did the prep and welding of his weld on - coil overs. 1976 280z Restoration Progress is the name of the thread, page 63 is where it starts. I highly recommend this type of installation and coil over style. Any welding shop can do it. There is nothing special about welding one steel tube to another. This is not a plug, well not much of one, but I bought Gecko weld on coil overs for my 510 and I'm pleased with the quality and price. They are new and trying to make a good impression. A full set of 510 coil overs were something like $850 USD shipped. They had a similar deal for S30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
