Rear suspension setup..need opinion - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

hotrodv · 04-26-2005, 09:49 AM

I've thinked about buy for my S14 some parts for the rear suspension, like rear upper camber arms and rear toe arms, I've looked at the various kazamaa, cusco etc.. but damn it's expensive at hell!
So I've found those on ebay, anyone have used it before?? any suggestion? it's better save money for the original one or no??
Ebay

get Cusco, Kazama, Tanabe ones.....the difference between these and the ebay ones are quite a huge difference and ALOT thicker...especially for a part that stresses alot during aggressive driving... i cant tell if that ball joint has a zerk fitting for maintenance, but it also doesnt have a dust boot...so when it rains and dries up your rear end will creak like crazy

DRFT180 · 04-26-2005, 10:55 AM

I have the tanabe and they are very beefy.

wow you know nothing
spl is same as nams basically
nams doesnt suck, neither does SPL
parts are high quality and well made

how would you know anyways/ You've never tracked or driven your car besides the supermarket, i think the cat drove your car more im sure.

ive tracked for nearly 2 years on SPL and NEVER had any problems whatsoever. very high quality. in fact i just picked up some more parts from them, well made, posting pics later, tie rod end links

keep dreaming about going to the track..your battery box is one step closer...

Johny5 · 04-26-2005, 02:50 PM

haha, he's just kidding aaron, he won't stfu about how good of quality splparts stuff is. via request of the forums doug isn't whoring out pics of recently bought products, but he did just get his kts coils and spl ruca's in recently.

Johny5 · 04-26-2005, 02:53 PM

oh btw just reread, did you say you redesigned their outter tie rods? i was already kinda impressed with them, longer shank means more bumpsteer reduction! fuckin, those things look like they own my kazamas up and down and in the face.

MakotoS13 · 04-26-2005, 03:46 PM

man, imma whore that stuff tonight.

all up in this bitch.

supportTHEezln · 04-26-2005, 04:31 PM

A lot of the stuff I buy is Battle Version. It's cheaper than the JDM stuff, but hey, some people just wish they were born in Japan, some don't. Oh shit, I just realized that guy is in Italy. I guess JDM companies would be just as easy as USDM haha!

Dousan_PG · 04-26-2005, 04:47 PM

ah ok my apologies.
i love my spl suspension
i dont have the coilovers because i wanted 10/8 kg and something that goes retarded low (tanabe dd)

i should get FLCAs and probably go nismo RLCA soon. then ALL the suspension has been replaced.

johnny, i got the ends last night
OMG
adjustment..Kazama CANT touch it. its ridicullous HOW MUCH you can adjust it. absolutately crazy. ill get the pics uploaded asap if i can. my computer at home took a dump, i might swing by my friends tonight and get it done there....
its nuts.
i have the z32 and the s14 ones to compare for you too, different...lindsay has the z32, i have the s14 ones. i cant wait to put on this weekend or thursday.

kandyflip445 · 04-26-2005, 04:50 PM

My alignment shop likes my SPL suspension parts. They said they were good looking quality.

Johny5 · 04-26-2005, 04:53 PM

MakotoS13 · 04-26-2005, 09:33 PM

infinitexsound · 04-26-2005, 10:38 PM

yep SPL id prefer them over the jdm companies just because theyre locally in the US so its easier to get replacements............ and like everyone said so far... SPL is GOOD quality ***** craftsmanship..

hotrodv · 04-27-2005, 02:39 AM

Thanx guys, I'll save money for the jdm one..usa or jdm is the same for me..faraway....
