coilovers qeustions

[s13dan]

Well i cant stand it any more..my 240 is 4x4 and i have coilovers but thats it... my shocks are blown so im just ganna slam it.. Do i have to modify the stock struts for coilovers?? Or is it as simple as swapping springs.. they are cheapass ebay coilovers got em for free.. they are temporary for a month or two..

Then I would suggest selling those coilovers... you will blow out your struts/shocks.

his shocks are already blown, nice useless input there buddy. Dan, check out 240sx.org and go to the installs section, they have a guide on installing ground control coilovers, not on stock struts, but it might be useful to you.

has no one put on just coilovers on a 240??

What you have are NOT the type of coilovers most of us put on our cars. Most of us use coilovers that consist of springs and shock (and strut) body.

I just put some KTS coilovers on my car.

yes, its as simple as swapping struts...no modification needed. However, you need shocks with a shortened or the new stock ones will blow again within about 10000 miles

if the setup is temporary..like what im doing, i just want the car slamed until christmas.. and i hae the coilovers rewady to go but no struts, my shocks are already blown so i was just ganna put the coilovers on till then..

Christmas is only a month away. Just wait until you can get the money for a set of coilovers. Just throwing those springs on blown shocks will compromise your safety while driving and probably be bouncy as hell as there is no dampening.
