Yes!

Eibach Pro Springs for a 280zx, and Tokico blue struts. They offer a very comfortable ride and a huge improvement in handling. Check out the suspension section on my webpage, it has info about both. I got my parts all from www.coximports.com at a very competitive price.

I'm actually going to sell my eibach springs/tokico struts in about 7 weeks when I install my full coilover setup... let me know if you're interested.

Do you still have the springs/struts?
If you do....
1) What kinda of drop are we looking at?
2) How much do you need for them?

The setup is about a 1.5" drop overall... however, many Maximas are already sagging in the back... so it may stay about the same in that dept. Here is the car with the springs (and a picture of it stock w/ stock springs):

They are still on my car. I got the rear coilovers in the mail today, and hope to get them on tomorrow morning. I may not be able to do the fronts until mid May though due to my work location. I think I paid $490 total about a year ago, and would ideally like to get $400 including shipping, but will gladly listen to reasonable offers. You can email me off-forum if you'd prefer.
