Operation suspension... Complete! (NO 56k)

Post by **elwesso** » Wed Aug 10, 2005 3:43 pm

Personally, i think the 350Z rays look cleaner on the Q, however no one has put them on the Q (the G35 rays)...... I dont think theyd look as good as the other rays... It wouldnt have bene much more for me to get a set with the tires already on it, but I just prefered the 350Z rays, plus they weigh less than their size!

Wes,I need to replace the upper links and tension rods, can you give me an idea of how much your parts were?

thanks!

I believe in upper links and rods you will spend about $250. Joes prices are pretty good in comparison to any dealer. And the Q has a lot of hard to get items.

Great, that's what I needed. I've to have the adjustable upper links, to keep the alignment correct, so your post was perfect timing.

Did you order these direct or can Joe get them?

I probably should have PM'd you on this one, but I thought someone else might wanna know too!

I like the way you think

Anywho, the links and the rods were for a 300ZX....

Think about this.. as long as the links dont get damged, al you have to do is replace the bearings and joints (in the uppers and tension rods, respectively)...

id say over 100k its cheaper than using OEM components...

Nice job Wes. I like those wheels better than the last ones. Looks sharp. As far as the suspension, it looks like you did a lot of nice things. You got the car low, but not too low. Looks just right with the right amount of wheel gap. Keep up the good work. Now you have to see what you do about those Nissan hubs and get Infiniti ones. I bet that's interchangeable with an Infiniti rim.

wes,looks good! did you address the springs not being seated correctly in the perches? this may affect alignment/ride height,so matbe best to do before spending for the align.

Good plan... I havent addressed that yet, ill eventually rent a spring compressor and align them myself... Oh how my life would be different if I had unrestricted air tool useage!!
