Well summers here meaning I work my *** off for my car! So what to buy...I deicded to hold back on the turbo and other stuffs for now, thats going to be winter/spring upgrade but for now I wanna make my car handle better than it already does. 1990 Nissan 240sxSR20DETParts aquiredTein Sport SpringsKYB AGX'sThats it! I need other parts, and dont go off saying oh you should get coilovers...Im fine with this set up, its stable and I can throw my car into the coners. So what else should I get? I was thinking sway bars, Deffiantly need a LSD, that takes away 300 of the thousand, unless you have better spent 300 bucks. One wheel burnouts suck! Im mostly into drift, but dont be suprised to see me at the autocross.

Thanks for your .02yen.

Unless you have some good connections, I think an LSD (an OE VLSD) will go for closer to $700-800 than $300. Can anyone else confirm?

Other than the LSD, you could go for some new bushings. Whiteline are popular but expensive. Suspension Techniques might have an S13 set of bushings. That would be a good, cheap upgrade.

You can grab a vLSD for around $250, no problem. I believe its the R200 vLSD that came off of Infiniti J30's and a couple other Nissan cars... If you want a real LSD, like a Kaaz 2 way, that'll run you around $1000...

sway bars, adjustable tie rods with spherical bearings, nismo suspension bushings, strut bar up front, roll cage. I have seen r200 diffs on e-bay go for 300 or under all the time on e-bay.
