hi im fairly new here..

the reason i made this post is because i need some help with my suspension

i have a 1991 240sx with 190xxx miles...stock suspension..so lets all assume this suspension is shot..and it IS..squeeks left n right and wobbly as hell

i havnt been into cars very long, and made my transition from honda to nissan...if anyone can help me out..

my AIM name is DancingMop

and my email is [email protected]

i want to know what multilinks/sways/bushings/coils-shocks to get for my suspension...it is my daily driver..and i commute with it 50 miles a day...but i also would like to persue autox on the weekends...this is not for drifting...

thank you for your time..

most upgraded multilink stuff has pillow ball mounts which i think pushes you into all sorts of higher classes

for daily driver leave your suspension stock and don't do this halfway crap.

Lowering for the sake of lowering's retarded. Replace what's worn out, get better tires, and go drive until you're a better driver

Don't do anything.

Just drive.

get an alignment.
building on OptionZero's post, i think these arms push you past STS/STX and into DSP or even SM. Can someone clarify?

Yes. To stay out of STS/STX you can only add urethane bushings to your OE arms if I read the rules right.
Shocks/springs is your choice as long as they don't alter the original suspension geometry.

imo

urethane bushings all around
shocks and springs

check your tie rod ends. make sure the rubber part isn't fucked, although it probably is. replace if necessary.

courtesyparts has the urethane full bushing kit for $190 or so.

new tires and refresh brakes before all that. don't miss an event though. just go and drive.
