I have 1987 NIssan 300ZX non turbo with 15 tires.  I have installed 2 new
rear shocks.  I need to stiff my rear suspension a bit.  The reason for this
because I find my car does not hug the road like my front wheel driver car.
Steering is sensitive. Maybe front shock too.
so options:
1/ should I try to use rubber insert fro rear suspension?
2/ replace rear coil springs?  which type?

thx,
Paul

Replace the springs and shocks all the way around.TMC (traction master corp)
makes good springs for these, tokico makes great springs for the early Z's
and might make them for these as well. The factory springs are too soft.
