some advice and or suggestion - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My 240 (1995) has been lowered, not slammed by any means mostly becuse it is my daily car. The car has been lowered using a strut and spring combo (sportlines and agx), lowering the car 2 - 1.75 inches. Now to get the proper align done is the drop within the limitation of the stock suspension components or do I have to get the adjustable components (TC rods, traction link arms, rear upper control arm, toe link arms) do get it aligned properly? I was planning on replace all of the stock bushings before getting an alignment done but not if I require all of these adjustable components.

IF someone with this setup can let me know if they required adjustable components to get the car aligned properly.

TIA.......... any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Doesn't sound like you need adjustable arms yet. Take it to the alignment shop and you'll know for sure.

rucas and toe arms are good enough to let your alignment get get it to specs.

You should be able to align your car to spec with stock suspension.

If you lower it more than I suggest ruca's.

Everything else is purely optional.
