Performance Struts

[Packerz]

Are there any type of higher performance struts for 280Z available anymore?  Need to replace an Illumina strut and they are nowhere to be found...same with KONI’s and Bilstein. KYBs are useless with my lowering springs...  no suppliers have anything and “parts wanted” forum hasn’t produced any leads   

Please respond Classic Z contact link/directly at: dbparker54@yahoo.com.  Thanks to any help!!

Hi Doug,

Koni started making their shocks for the 280Z again in 2019. There is a thread here all about it. You could get in contact with The Z store.

 See page 4 in the thread for their post on the 280Z shocks. They showcthe 280Z shocks on the site.

Hello EuroDat. I contacted Motorsports and they do not have any KONI struts for Z cars and do not know of any potential source for Tokico or KONI struts for a 280Z... Alas, my search continues with total frustration on finding any remedy to my problem.  Help!!! Z community! Doug

You must have contacted the wrong "Motorsports".    They made quite a big deal out of reintroducing them to the Z cars.  Just the word Koni should have been enough to get you set up.

p.s. seems like these should really be called a strut component, or strut shaft, or strut member, or strut shaft shock member.  Without it there is no strut, but it's not the complete strut.

Y’all are absolutely correct, Motorsport/ZCarSource does have the KONI s and they are the complete strut! Ordered them from Anthony, today!  They have about 30 fronts and rears for late-260s and all 280s.  I must have contacted the wrong vendor... how???

thanks again to everyone  have a Z day😉
