Subframe Risers Pros vs Cons? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I know of all the great features and benefits from installing Subframe Risers but, are there any negative side effects from rising the subframe a 1/2" by installing Subframe Risers instead of the normal Solid Subframe Bushings?

Do you loose any adjustment or performance from moving the subframe from its stock engineered location?

The car is setup to be a 50/50 Grip and Drift track duty vehicle. Slammed and tucking tire all around.

Please any feedback is well appreciated! Thanks!

I would read SPL's description of what raising the subframe will do but you're not adding or loosing adjustment you're partially restoring the rest position of your suspension arms.

A negative might be that its a bitch to run your e-brake lines in that tiny space left after raising it and it raises two of your exhaust hanger positions.
