practicle suspension

[240scars]

whats up i a about to order springs shocks bushings tie rods and tie rod ends and was wondering if anyone had any affordable but good suggestions. i was looking at maybe eibach sport springs tokico gas shocks tien tie rod ends? any advice is nice peace

[Structure240sx]

sounds perfect to me

i have the same parts, and a few others

[240sxjeff]

you should check out the megan racing coilovers they might not be that much more than your eibach springs/Tokico shocks. Eibach springs are just a bit too soft I think but to each his ownAlso you might want to look into SPL's tie rod ends, they are alot more than the Tein rod ends, but you can adjust your bumpsteer when you lower your front alot and I don't think you can with the tein's. not 100% sure though, anyone else have any insight on the ends?

Sorry no insight on the ends.

Another affordable suspension mod would be subframe spacers. They stiffen up the rear as noticable as the TC rods stiffen up the front.

i had d2 coilovers that i got for a great price, but for someone who hardly drifted and never does now they are jsut over kill for the street. springs and struts will be able to handle better on the streets that are perfect like a race track. if you hit a bump at a decent speed it can send the rear of the car out.

and with alot of power the car can squat with springs and struts much better and actually have traction

[240sxjeff]

yeah subframe spacers definately help with the rear end of the car. they also eliminate that annoying thump that 240's have when you accelerate

any advice is nice peace

Please use commas to seperate your list. That was hard to read. Thanks.

Check out RS*R Springs (or H&R but I don't think they make 240sx springs), Koni Yellows, and SPL Parts (They're a sponsor here and if you decide to go the coilover route theirs seems to be a good option.).

I've had good luck with the Koni Yellow shocks as well as SPL Parts. I've heard good things about RS*R but I don't have experience with them.

What are you going to do with the car?

EDIT: Tein makes springs for the 240 as well.

H&R makes springs for the 240, tire rack sells them

RS*R are very good too, im getting RS*R down springs in the very near future with KYB AGX shocks

as far as the bushings go, look into SPL, and for the ones they dont have try energy suspension

[Veriest1]

^I didn't know H&R made any for the 240. I just knew they were worth checking into. They're quite popular in the BMW world.
