hey does anyone know if there is any coilovers available for z31's at all? or would any from another nissan fit, with minimal modifications?

if not, who does shortened springs?

i just wanna dump it

If you just want the drop, it's not worth converting to s13 coilovers. If you're after handling, then it would be worth it.

I'm pretty sure that King springs make an off-the-shelf lowering spring for z31's. you can order them at repco.

I wouldn't go too low without doing a rear camber mod and new shocks though.

You could more than likely do it the same way they fit them to JDM R31 skylines, seeing as the suspension is similar and almost all Nissans seem to be able to be converted the same way. The other way involves cutting and welding, but it's been done and is known to work.

The skyline way involves replacing a few suspension components with s13 items, but I can't remember exactly what you need to swap. Have a search around on www.r31skylineclub.com forums though, there's a whole thread with heaps of info on it.
