Make sure everything is maintained properly. And then this...
A tip on wheels: 17x9 is the smallest/minimum size you should be looking at. Anything less is fail, IMO. Select your wheel offsets carefully, as they (combined with proper ride height) are the key to a car that looks fantastic and one that looks like booty.

Next, do brake upgrades and then on to wheels/tires.Canadianfreerider wrote:Coilovers.

ya man.. maintenance is first.. unless its just a track slut you like to take out on the weekends to have fun and beat up on.. what do you plan to do with the car?
Like what someone suggested before i would do all the bushings, ball joints and tie rod ends..
another thing to look out for on a 95 or 96 240sx is the rear subframe bushings.. the bushings are notorious for getting worn down.. i use to see this a lot when I was working at a shop.. its pretty easy to tell
