ok ,yall seem to be the most helpful group of z nuts i've ever had the pleasure of reading from. me being a nut as well i guess i shold know this stuff but, ive never really dealt much with suspension; im more of a stock guy, but the 72 240z i saved is far beyond that already so im taking on my first modidfied project. the insane previous owner heated and cut the origional springs (the car is about 1"- 2" off the ground now) so, being on a limited budget, i purchased some used springs;12" st 103# rear and 11" st 175" fronts. Now, after reading yall's discussions for hours, I am wondering what you would reccomend, remember i'm on a TIGHT budget, I do about my strut situation. I am at a complete loss when it comes to this and any info would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I love the feel of pebbles as I run them over, but I live in the mountains with some bad, but fun, roads. I want it tight but i have to navigate some pretty interesting pot holes. thanks dan boone ,nc
