Lads, as I'll need this car on the road as often as poss I was thinking about getting my hands on a separate pair of front struts to work on them then chuck em straight in. As my car knowledge is average, does anyone have any tips on the struts? If I don't end up shortening the ones I have now, will 280zx ones be short enough? And are they more or less a straight swap? Any info would be great!

The pics are pretty poor but I'd just be happy to have tyres sitting just above the rims. Will need to get some lower profile ones but they are near new so will give them a good thrashing first.

My only other ATM...

Hopefully that worked?! I have the car up North and the old man is driving it down next week for me so more pics then.

Cheers for the accept and appreciate such a quick and detailed reply!! As far as I know all suspension is stock. Ideally I'd like to spend less on this so it can be put into other parts of the car. I've read somewhere you can put in 240zx struts in as they're shorter, better brakes too? Then could I either trim springs or purchase some new ones to suit? And quick q, blocks or reset leaves what's your opinion? Thanks heaps!

Hey everyone, am just new to the forum as I just bought myself a180b wagon. Love the car and want to keep it generally original as poss but I HAVE to take it down a few inches. I am still kinda learning all the tech stuff when it comes to suspension but any info at all would be much appreciated. Im guessing ill probably just put 2" blocks in the back, but the front has me a tad confused. Ive read different ideas about it eg cut springs, coilovers etc but not sure what to do. This will br a family car as well and ideally dont want to cut springs if poss. HELP haha
