Coilover help
 
I'm lookin to get s13 coilover for my 300zx z31 I was gonna go with godspeed an I was gonna order the weld in strut adapter I hear the weld in tube fit m55x2.0 I called godspeed and they said they dont know the size. I was wondering if anybody has used them and could find out the size or if you have switched to stance coilovers if they still fit. I heard stance are m55x2.0 if this isint the right place to post this mybad. Thanks

sweet, so you want to know if the cheap ass garbage coilovers you crave are the same size as stance? This has already been brought up, so i suggest you try using the search feature at the top.

Welcome to zilvia, we are all out of spoons to feed you with.

Only way I can think of is find someone local and take measurements. Maybe hit up the corolla guys since they have to jump through the same loop. Good luck

STANCE Nissan Z31 GR+ Coilover - Touge Factory Store

Ground Control will also build you a set of coilovers for your Z, similar to the link you provided. They mostly prefer koni and eibach springs. Basic problem are the dampers cannot hold higher spring rates.

There is also the option to order from a few companies that fab them out of j-land as well.

Your best bet is to just buy stance. They also offer a weld-on service if you are unable to fabricate.

welcome bro, I may not have alot of post but I've been peeping tom-N for about 2 years now !!!
we all can be dicks, it's life now to help you out a little bit!!!!


the z31 has alot of similarity suspension wise to the mk2 supra, in a sense there is no strut in the rear. so when we installed overs on my d00dz 84 mk2 we took some corolla coilovers. made custom top hats and welded them. I also remember having to cut the sleeve to make it fit properly, I know I'm not helping or making much sense but just throwing some useless knowledge out there!
btw, the z31 is a suspension nightmare, everything will be more than likely custom made to your taste bro...

this is probably your best and safest bet if you have no confidence in yourself's mechanic skills. A little pricey for megans but WAT THU HELLz:bigok:

Price is actually right on. Reason why its high is because of the weld on adjustment height brackets, all 4 weld on camber plates, and the fact that McKinney made the rear coils camber adjustable. So if you price it out by buying everything individually, that is coils (buying them from this forum from a vendor that sells cheap), weldable kit, and rear pillow ball camber adjusted mounts then the price will be near what mckinney has, if not more. You dont have to buy mckinneys wedable kit, there are others that make it too, but price is similar. I am actually in the process right now to converting my 240z to s13 coils and i am still deciding between stance and megan. Only problem i have with stance is that i cant find anyone that makes a weld on camber plate for there coils. Guess i could have them custom made somewhere and also i would need rear pillow ball mounts which stance sells but is very pricey.
