quick question on suspension components after coilovers - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

alright just got dmax coilovers installed and have already used the search function.
now what i need next are definently the RUCA and i think tension rod?
The other things are just parts to kind of show off right unless ur fully tracking ur car or hard driving a lot?

From researching on zilvia...for a starter setup for me its Dmax coilovers(SUPER COMFY on soft for daily), PBM RUCA(CHEAP and v3),SPL v2 Tension rods, ebay front and rear struts...
How important is an inner and outer tie rod?(Im looking at the z32 inner and SPL outer......

I just want the basic suspension done and then im getting my LSD for some real drifting =] no VLSD please

then i can be somewhat satisfied and start tracking the car instead of just buying parts.....

get oem replacement tierods/ends if you are just dailying it. i heard using s14 ones are better cuz they are thicker
you dont really need tension rods but thats up to how shitty your stock ones are in. if your stock tie rods/ends are loose/shitty, replace them.
also get rear toe rods so you can adjust your toe. factory adjustments are poor.
so get:
ruca
toe
tie rods/ends

you probably dont need to replace the tension rods. just replace the bushings and get and alignment after all your suspension mods are done.
