Well they finally came in today...

No more 4x4 looks and sloppy handling for this 240...



I'm going to the drag strip tonight, so I won't have time to install them today. But if I can get them put in tomorrow, I'll post up pics and my review on the parts

Install will include...

1) KTS coilovers2) SPL tension rods3) SPL rear toe arms4) Cusco rucas5) Tein tie rods

Just wish they were delivered a day or so early so I could benefit from them at the track..

the air force must pay well.

My bro is in Pilot training in texas, he just got a T-36 spot.

Nice parts, enjoy.

Be sure to do a master bushing set too!That's a lot of money well spent!

Got everything installed and aligned today. Car handles like it's on rails. Kidneys are getting a bit bruised though on the bumpy roads. Started to hear a slight rubbing noise coming from the front passenger wheel on the way home from a p0ker game tonight though. Gonna jack up the car tomorow and check it out.

I got my kts in a day before you. Definately harsher than I expected, but handling is great, and damping is getting better as I drive it more.

fender/tire contact? I know this doesn't apply to your set of wheels but spl told me that a 5mm spacer would be required on 17 +35 wheels.

That feeling would be right

And I never figured out what that noise was coming from the front passenger side fender well, because it went away the next day. I jacked up the car and looked for signs of rubbing, but nothing. Oh well

How much preload did you put on your springs? For the back coilovers I tightened it up about 5 turns after the perch was just holding the spring in place without compressing it. In the front I tightened it about 4 turns. I know it is a trial and error process but I really have no idea where to start. I am pretty sure with this much preload I deffinitly am not squishing the bump stop.

I guess I could release it a bit if that is the case, just curious how much you used?
