Found an interesting Cusco product for S13's but I don't understand it.

These are upper a-arms for a 240sx.... Since the 240sx doesn't have them from the factory they apear to be mounted by replacing the camberplates (if you have a set) but I can't figure out what they can connect to near the wheel. Would this need some modification or a custom part to connect near the struts? To me it seems like they wouldn't work well since they only have a pivot point on the outside and would put a lot of unnecessary stress on the strut towers.

On further inspection they apear to have a ball joint so maybe they do have two pivot points. But I don't understand where it would go either... oh never mind I'm just confused by them....

Obviously an upper arm on the front suspension would be great but where/how does it install and does any one know if this is a good product or just a wet dream on Cuscos part?

Here's the front suspension on a miata but the 240 doesn't have the mounts required for the a double wishbone style suspension.

Nope not for the rear... The website is http://store.yahoo.com/ntnsrac....html.

Cuscos webpage just had the same pic with no information from one model tothe next... or at least their english page didn't have anything.

If this is just a general picture then does anyone have a clue as to what the 240 version looks like?

i dont see how they could work for the 240. my bet is its an error by somebody. like you said its for a double wishbone setup, we have a mcpherson strut.

If anything, I would think you could only make an adjsutalbe LCA for the front..and it wouldnt look anything like that.

someone probably mis-listed it.

That's probably correct. Somebody goofed.
