thanks boofhead and phunk.
you will have to excuse my lack of knowledge on the subject. suspension is fairly new to me and id prefer give it a go myself. anyone can throw extortionate amounts of cash at a suspension shop and get someone to do it for them, but youll never know how to do it for next time.
this is just about the last major thing i need sorted.
oh and its not going to be on the floor, ive seen lower 1200's than what i want
to me it just seems if i go 240z shocks it will only allow me to cut it down a measly 20mm or so, which would give me a total of about 45-50mm before it hits the bump stops
would i be best searching for a shock shorter than a 240z??
im aware it may be a bit of a handful on uneven surfaces, but its a weekend car only.
