I'm trying to figure out what a good suspension set-up for my future 240 would be.
the 245 i'm picking up will promptly have all springs removed to see where that gets me. i'm perfectly fine with a shitty ride to get the stance i want. done it before, will do it again. if that doesn't get it as low as i want, i'll replace the struts with shorter models and possibly break out the grinder and welder. i plan on documenting every step to see what it takes to go as low as possible.
btw, planning on running sc430 18" wheels on it

I don't know much about the older brick suspension, but Ben at Kaphlenke has some wicked set ups. I am going to be getting my rear coils from him. (http://www.kaplhenke.com/)
With the 70/850 series you can easily make coilovers (like I did) from Koni shocks and Afco parts.
