I'm looking into uprating the suspension in my 260Z but I'm not sure what setup to go with. Theres a few setups I'm looking at:
TTT Coilovers: https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/260z/front-coilover-conversion-datsun-240z-260z-and-280z
These would be a nice easy quick install, the quality looks good and I have the option of using them with stock tophats (for the rear) and camber plates (on the front) but they aren't a dual perch design which is something I was hoping for.

I like the look of these, they are dual perch and would also let me use camber plates on the front and stock top hats on the rear. The only issue I have with them is that I'm not sure how good the Mckinney shocks are quality and performance wise.
AZC Coilovers: coil over suspension
Agian these are dual perch which I like but I'm not sure how good the shocks and springs will be and I'm not sure if it would be possible to run the rears with stock tophats, if not it might be possible however to make something like the plate below in order to fit them to the rear without the camber plates.

I'm pretty sure the quality on these will be top notch and they can valve them to suit any spring rate I decide upon and run my choice of camber plates or top hats but unfortunatly they don't make a dual perch setup and also I'd have to send my parts to them which due to my job I don't really have time to do as I need parts waiting for me when I get home in order to get the work I need done although if I can get another set of 260z struts/ect then I can send them off to Gaz and have the final product waiting for me upon getting home.
What do you think of the above setups? Which would you go with? Any help/advice is hugely appreciated.
