Which multi-link suspension do you use? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

More Japan · 06-10-2005, 03:45 PM

There are quite a few manufacturers making these arms nowadays, but which ones do you prefer?

Giant Robot · 06-10-2005, 04:01 PM

Cusco, Kazama, Tanabes....
i used all of them before and currently use Tanabe arms/swaybars/coilovers....all awesome quality/contruction...the welds are nice, the adjustment bolts are convenient...the rubber dust boots are a bonus, the ball joints seem to be very high quality and havent had any noice complaints, no fitment issues.....ALOT better than most of the "US" brands....Although SPL parts are extremely high quality as well

240trainee · 06-10-2005, 04:17 PM

Yes, I plan on using SPL parts. Haven't bought them yet though. bummer

Dousan_PG · 06-10-2005, 04:27 PM

splparts.com for everything minus the RUCA which ill buy thru spl but it is CUSCO
coulovers are tanabe dd

ill use all spl/kts on my fastback beater car too. hehe

ive used kazama rucas before and tein tc rods
both are worth too
but i love spl support and service, cant beat it!!!

lilredstiffy · 06-10-2005, 04:34 PM

Tanabe n Silkroad are my fav

BUT

for the money you can't beat spl parts
awesome customer service, very quick delivery, and top notch quality

MakotoS13 · 06-10-2005, 06:22 PM

all from SPL:

KTS coils,
SPL RUCA
SPL outter tie rod ends/Z32 inners

all top notch.

kuah is the pimp shiznit king.

sl3mike · 06-10-2005, 08:38 PM

cusco -sways front back, rear camber arm, tension rods

Mike

blu808 · 06-11-2005, 04:44 AM

I like power trix new line of parts. They are cheap and feature teflon ball joints.

JDMs13 · 06-11-2005, 09:00 AM

I like ebay hoo-has. I got RUCAS, bump stear, and toe rods all for 200 shipped. The RUCAS are the solid circle design to, which I feel is a plus.

Greg

justinhustle · 06-11-2005, 09:23 AM

battle version n cusco

Var · 06-11-2005, 09:54 AM

SPl parts so far. I'm happy with them. Pro RUCA, tension rods, solid subframe bushings , 5-zigen wheels, Solid Sway bar endlinks.

420sx · 06-11-2005, 10:14 AM

kazama, spl=nams, cusco, tanabe. all the same shit

ayes · 06-12-2005, 08:43 AM

spl can't be beat

kandyflip445 · 06-12-2005, 04:14 PM

SPL parts.

Nismo180 · 06-12-2005, 04:34 PM

SPL bars

Whiteline sways

Not set on the coil-overs yet, probably FLT-A2

JDMs13 · 06-12-2005, 05:55 PM

what kinda prices does SPL offer. I bet the RUCAS alone are like 2 beans, right?

I'll just make an echo....

Kazama, Nagisa Auto, Cusco, Tanabe are nice, all the above are beefy. Buy anything else and you're getting what you pay for, i.e squeaky crappy bushings.

SPL has good price and good reputation as well. Their website will tell you prices.

m0rex · 06-12-2005, 08:46 PM

Jdm Nismo is pretty streetable. Nismo here is weak and dosent make arms or anything worth buying that you can get from somewhere else better.

KiDyNomiTe · 06-12-2005, 10:32 PM

Battle Version, TF/KTS/, Silk Road

crazy9ceguy · 06-13-2005, 12:35 AM

i use the C-tune one, hey if it works for that drift chic, it works for me, and so far its been great.

DJPimpFlex · 06-13-2005, 03:31 AM

ALL Battle version bitches. Got a good deal.

Sil Beer S13 · 06-13-2005, 03:46 AM

i use tanabe! and tein! and ya thats is!

Project D · 06-13-2005, 09:13 AM

WHen all my stuff is installed, I will be using Kazama, Tein, D2, and Tanabe. A few things here and there from all manufacturers and Ill have a nice suspension setup

the head · 06-13-2005, 09:29 AM

Battle Version arms...got the full set

TK · 06-13-2005, 10:03 PM

i'll probly end up running the peak performance stuff

sideview_180sx · 06-14-2005, 02:33 AM

peak performance are on my list, currently switching over to spend cash on the SPL line up and BV arms as well.

Saisoku · 06-14-2005, 08:02 AM

I do not like Tein as much after seeing other "High end" Japanese companies. Kazama and Tanabe get the nod from me.

giant killer · 06-14-2005, 05:53 PM

i installed a full set of yanak(sp?) rear arms on my buddy's s13.. decent quality.. BUT.. i was only able to dial in -.8* camber at max in the rear.. he is on tein s-techs currently and will be moving to kts coils soon.. and i know when the car is lower more camber will come.. has anyone else ran into this problem of not enough negative camber with _____insert brand here______ ruca?

Thanks for the responses guys. There's definitely no shortage of arms for the 240SX, and everyone has their own preferences for price and ruggedness. We ask because we are the US importers and distributors (we provide most of these parts to the shops you go to) and are representatives for both Kazama and Nagisa Auto.

Sometimes people request us to bring in the Nams lower control arms for the 240sx, but is anyone using it?

If any of you guys have any questions, about Kazama or Nams parts, feel free to ask us, we'll be more than happy to answer or ask them directly!

Kazama and Nagisa rule, the Kazama RUCA's can be substituted for a billy club in case you gots to beat someone down. BEEFY and very nice finish.

I've been patiently waiting for my Nagisa pricing :ahem:
