Hitman,

You should've went with the Tokico's all the way around.

I just did an ActSus conversion for Tom, (AZtek72 from the old Yahoo site). We did the whole nine....Tokico blues @ all four...eibachs...Still upper arms...Kazama adjustable tension rods...E.S. polyurethane bushings...my custom 23mm rear sway bar...Kumho Ecsta Supra 245/55/16's on 300ZX rims. This car is by far, THE BEST handling Q on the planet.

As a matter of fact, I'm swapping out my OEM front struts and will be copying his setup shortly.

Man, Sope, I pitched a tent reading that post. I still intend to go with the Blues in front, but $$$'s tight right now - Wish I could pull down some of that discount I scored on the Tokico's.:D

I found a 20mm rear bar for $60 locally, and I need to find the ES poly's for the front and rear bar. I can get the Eibach's for the Q for $250, so that may be on the horizon.

I have all the bushings you want AND get ya good prices on them. I'm working with a friend to have some adjustable tension rods made to offer a reasonably inexpensive alternative to Stillen's, might get adjustable upper arms made too along with an extra set of hollow (as per Q45tech's advice) 22mm rear swaybars.

So....if you're looking for something, you know who to talk to... :D

I hate to interrupt this Infiniti lovefest, but does anyone else have a name for their car? I kept having my cars (2 Caprice Classics) named by my sister. Pissed me off.

Good to hear about your kills, AZ. And remember folks, AZ lives in the middle of a freaking desert (Arizona). Keep us posted on your next victim.

CZ - It's already been done - The "car name" thread, that is.

Actually, I live in the middle of the freaking HOT desert in the Concrete Furnace, the Asphalt Oven, Phoenix! (Not sure what that has to do with the price of tea in Indy, but hey!):D

AZ,Everything has been done on NICO.. well not everything. Feel like I need to do a search anytime I post something up, kinda gets lame. N E ways. See tons of domestics here in Indy. Tons of BMW's and Mercedes where Repoman and I grew up. Now that Diamler owns Chrysler, I guess the MB are no longer taboo in Kokomo (transmission plants) and New Castle (parts) Indiana. Our local Infiniti dealership wont even give Repoman and I the time of day. I guess when you roll up in a 240, you get that.

I've been to that dealership. Bunch of arrogant types it seems. I'm from NW IN & come down there often to visit my son. I stop there from timie to time & can't get a salesperson to talk to me. And I drive an Infiniti. I don't think it's your car. It's the dealership. They don't like to negotiate either.

Naah, its definately the damned 240. Even Kia employees would treat you like a turd if you rolled up in one.
