Performance Front Suspension in the 280ZX!

[@BlazebeatRacing]

Dude today I finally got my coils cut on my 280ZX, to the same height you did yours, as well as new kyb struts and a prothane suspension bushing kit. The car is sitting at the height I envisioned and when it settles it should be the perfect height!!! Thank you so much for making these videos man, it's trail-blazing for the rest of us! The car rides great and I am very satisfied with the handling improvements (I also previously installed a performance rear sway bar as well as strut tower stabilizer bars). I'm finally finished my suspension mods/upgrades and am ready to focus on adding more horsepower!

Ball joint grease??

[@denzellrocha5313]

I like your intro. Anybody remember the good ol days on PS2?

[@lordmatthews]

Watching this because i have the same car but at 11:25 ... DAM ..had the same blankets in my bed as a kid ....thanks man .. memories

I'd shift attention to the rear .....I owned many ZX's and Zs back in my day....the ZXs had this horrible squatting issues in the rear, but it's something that can be remedied. Beautiful ZX...I can't wait to buy another one.!

[@HooliganGarage-650]

I've swapped in Koni struts since then and the squat is nearly gone, and thanks!

Looks like a nice setup in front. When I had a 280ZX, I ran Tokico struts/springs, T3 tension rods, and T3 bumpsteer spacers. They didn't make the lower control arm back then.

Hey what is the offset on your 5 by 9 Wheels

[@HooliganGarage-650]

-13

[@likablemichael]

Just installed polyurethane bushings / s13 coilovers so hopefully my tension rod and control arms hold up!!

i recently got a z31 300zx but i miss my 280zx. especially how much easier the l28 is to work on compared to the vg30

[@clemmahabir]

This car is so rust free and clean..looks nice on the track!!

[@trevorschneider9047]

What shocks/struts are you using with the cut springs?

[@HooliganGarage-650]

At the time, I was using Tokico HP's. Now I am on Vogtland springs and Koni Yellows.

[@abymondesir23]

The clunking could b solved by putting insulators on the bottom spring. It fixed my clunking. Overall incredible car & mods

[@BlazebeatRacing]

I would like to upgrade my rear sway bar to get a bit more oversteer. Should I be concerned about the stock rear control arms not being thick enough to support this upgrade, or is that just with the front control arms? Thx

[@HooliganGarage-650]

You won't need to worry about the rear arms, as the sway bar mount in located towards the center of the arm, and on the front its just a metal tab that sticks out of the side.

@@HooliganGarage-650 Thanks for the quick reply!

[@kira_death_god]

Looks amazing

[@juanyoi87]

Your datsun still looks pretty

[@FairladyS130]

Nice front end, now it needs some redesigned components for the rear preferably with improved kinetics.

[@HooliganGarage-650]

Yes, some adjustable rear control arms would be great to counter the excessive rear toe-in that these cars get when lowered.

[@richardupyurass2379]

No jack stands. No wheel blocks. No common sense

[@HooliganGarage-650]

ok boomer

[@SuperMechguy]

hows the 240z paint job coming along

[@HooliganGarage-650]

Pretty slow TBH. Some parts are painted, some are not, one section needs to be resprayed. Probably looking at the end of the year.

[@SuperMechguy]

@@HooliganGarage-650 that's just how it is sometimes, keep it up though

[@victoreboli211]

Great content but pleeease use jack stands so i can continue to watch your vids

[@Gendo3s2k]

[@MrJearley6]
