im about to rip out the rb20 and put the rb26 in it. the z has full JIC coilover and most of the suspension and brakes is from r32 skyline and z32, with rollcage
the car set up for drift and grip

btw i have a Z car not a 240sx , ( 200zr and a 300zx are the same car but the motor is a rb20det and not a vg30et or vg30det.

were u going to get a set? or you didnt mind mix and matching?

if you didnt mind mix and matching..

Ground control and Koni yellows

how much track are you going to be driving? how stiff of a springrate did u want? were u looking something for 500/900 or even higher? if you wanted to run anything past 500 lb/inch, most people would suggest you to get the koni's revalved so they would be able to handle higher springrates.

The ground control set up will work great. Get koni sport "yellows" with abut 400f 500r (lbs/ich) 8x2.5" to start with, and keep the front and rear sway bars on. Try that out for a while. It will be a little stiff on the streets but not too bad, and will do very good on the track.

If you daily drive the car then maybe lower the spring rates to about 375f 400r.

There are other good brands, but I'm very happy with my D2s on my Prelude. Cheaper than most, any spring rate you want, and all aluminum.
