Suspension setup

After searching and searching... I've come down to these options for my suspension (in order) -
tein tie rods
JIC FLTA2 coilovers,
SPL RUCA's
5 lug conversion (z32 and oem s14)
gram lights 57F wheels.
then brakes.. i dunno yet

I think i've got this in a good order, any opinions... i'll buy the coilovers by the end of next summer and work from there...

not a good idea to use that bar as a harness bar without modifying it.

Tie Rods Etc

They(KTS) make most of the Tie Rods etc that most companies use.

They are small but have a good machine shop.

D-max on the other hand....is not that small

HUBS little $$ but they work great

Suspension parts

Hope this helps but just look through the web pages yourself I can read and speak japanese so it is easy for me to find thing like this.

how you gonna get that to work?

As far as TC rods when you say good, im thinking you mean cheap.

If you dont know any reputable company that makes TC rods then sell your car.

You have no done enought research.

Let me see theres, Tein, Kazama,SPL, Battle Version and many more.

i've read you can use the 300zx 5lugs for the rear and the s14 5-lugs for the front with some modification. I know companies that make TC rods, i was asking "good" as in companies people have had experience with etc... i dont put cheap sh*t on my car, sorry you read it that way.

There's no reason to get all pissed about it, i posted to get advice on a well-rounded setup... not flamed because i incorrectly worded a sentence. Thank you for your suggestions though.

Just use GTO or Attain front hubs its WAY easier.

As far as TC rod i had Tein and well they stood up to 2 crashes and alot of track time.

I would also recommend Peak Performance hubs. Good for the price. PDM sells them.
