Will SPL S14 rear components fit the Z32? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Just curious if S14 rear traction rods, toe rods, upper arms will all fit the z32? Also, the outer front tie rods? I'm thinking they will, but I haven't found a single thread that addresses all of those components.

Thanks.

I wonder if I should be sinking my cash in adjustable suspension toys.

I should probably go with a coilover first, then this stuff, but SPL told me they are about to up the pricing...

You know, I was pretty sure the S14 front tie rods would also work with the Z32, but that site doesn't show it as such...

You're buying new? Why don't you just buy them from the Z32 section on their website?

Believe it or not, somehow vendors elsewhere selling their same stuff are able to beat the hell out of their prices.

thats pretty common. they COULD undercut everyone but then they loose their distributers. instead they sell at msrp and all the dealers can sell at discounted rates. more dealers = more exposure = more sales. they may make a smaller margin off the dealers but volume is king.

Well, its pretty silly if you ask me. I live in Austin which is where SPL is based. I asked them if they could give discounts on "bundles", ie, the entire rear suspension for a z32, and they said 1) no, margins are thin 2) prices are going to go up soon due to cost of materials increasing.

So, as far as I'm concerned, I'll just buy from another distributor of their stuff and get what I want.
